“science-based” attitudes
Safety
• Excessive doses of many nutrients are demonstrably toxic
• High levels of single nutrients interfere with the functions of other nutrients

“science-based” attitudes
Efficacy
• Research demonstrates health benefits of diets and foods, not of single nutrients
• Higher-than-recommended doses of few single nutrients
improve health • Health claims for many supplements often address
issues (such as “stress”) that are difficult to evaluate scientifically
• The health benefits of most supplements are unproven
• Many “benefits” of supplements can be explained as placebo or other self-healing effects
