Vitamins

I've often thought that I should eat some vitamin suppliments, since I'm not the healthiest eater in the world. However, I always end up forgetting to take them. Well with all the latest reports maybe I'm better off just going without them. Here's one take from the Boston Globe about some of the recent vitamin reports:
The fading allure of vitamins

Glucosamine has been proven to work, as your body already produces it, when you get older, you begin to not produce as much and therefore take the suppliment.
As for vitamins it does depend on your diet, activness and environment. Alot of places have different results in testing due to location and traditional diet of the area.
What works for you, might not work for someone else. Our bodies are constantly going through chemical reactions.
Eat a good diet full of leafy green veg and a variety of other improtant nutrients, the vitamins, are just an added precaution.

Also not all vitmain companies have good products, you need to find a good, trusted worthy brand, otherwise it does become just a placebo.

Great point about the difference in testing results based on location. I didn't even consider the fact that culture/cuisine would have a siginificant impact on the vitamin needs of the person under test.

This is really more of a general comment than specifically about vitamins. I thought you may want to consider posting a quote from Claude Shannon, or maybe something about scrambling technique on your blog at some point.

Claude Shannon was one of the most influential people in digital design. Although no particular quote of his comes to mind right now. Scrambling technique is essential in wartime. Even more interesting is the fact that the Enterprise is not a good warship.
