Comment on Do Multivitamins actually do anything?

Depends. Many minerals in the multivitamin are not bioavailable and some block absorption of others. Since there are so many together you can’t tell if it will have the desired effect and in which quantity.

There are some vitamins that definitely have a positive effect such as A, C, E, K and B12 but a 100% RDA of zinc with zincoxide does fuck all.

So it’ll most likely have a positive effect. That being said the cliche is true: It’s not a replacement for a healthy nutrient rich diet and balanced diet.

Eat:

Whey protein (great amino acid profile)
Fish oil (D and Omega3)

Limit:

Sugar
Alcohol
Vegetable oil
Processed food

Agree with everything except the vegestable oil, it’s high in good fats

  There’s new studies that disagree, they are easily oxidized fats and there’s evidence that they heavily contribute to heart disease. Saturated fats from animal sources seems to be the way to go.

    That’s the one. :)
    
    To add to that there seems to be a link between vegetable oil and weight gain when calories are kept equal between two groups of rodents.

    Can you post those studies? Pretty much all the studies I’ve seen show that unsaturated fats are what you want.

    Conclusions: Reducing saturated fat and replacing it with carbohydrate will not lower CHD events or CVD mortality although it will reduce total mortality. Replacing saturated fat with PUFA, MUFA or high-quality carbohydrate will lower CHD events.

    Most meta-analyses, except the Nurses Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow up Study combined, that have examined replacement of total saturated fat with total carbohydrate in cohort studies have found no effect on CHD events or deaths. Only when replacement of saturated fat with polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fat or high quality carbohydrate is examined is benefit shown.
    
    There is some recent evidence that some unsaturated fats are unhealthy from another perspective, like soybean oil, but that isn’t all of them (e.g. olive oil is still healthy for you).
