Take that vitamin, it's like insurance...

I personally think that you can't go wrong taking an inexpensive multivitamin pill daily. Here is an interesting article outlining the pros and cons. There are some good points. You obviously don't want people thinking that the pills are good justification to not eat healthy foods, but at the same time can making sure that you are getting at least the minimum essentials be discouraged? I think not. As they say, it's the cheapest bit of health insurance that you can buy.
