People spend billions of dollars every year trying to boost their health with multivitamins. However, there is no solid scientific evidence that shows that consuming multivitamin supplementation is beneficial to those already eating a healthful diet. What is your stance on this issue? Is multivitamin supplementation necessary for the average, healthy American adult? Besides nutrient deficiency due to an unhealthy diet (e.g. you cannot simply say, if the person doesn′t eat enough iron in their diet), what are specific examples of any special cases when supplementation is necessary? Why or why not? Provide two examples and at least cite two scientific papers or scientific articles (personal blogs do not count) in your discussion to support your answers.
