Drugs Killed 3 Million People in the Last 30 Years—How Many Did Vitamins Kill?

Drugs Killed 3 Million People in the Last 30 Years—How Many Did Vitamins Kill?

Posted By Dr. Mercola | March 29 2012

When the new 203-page annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers was published at the end of 2011, a remarkable fact was glaringly present: There was not even ONE death caused by a vitamin supplement in 2010. That's right: the report shows zero deaths from multiple vitamins; zero deaths from any of the B vitamins; zero deaths from vitamins A, C, D, or E; and zero deaths from any other vitamin.

And, according to Orthomolecular.org, when you take vitamin sales into account, that means that over 60 billion doses of vitamins and mineral supplements were taken in 2010, and each year, with ZERO deaths occurring. Unfortunately, the same can't be said about prescription drugs.
