WITH WELL-BALANCED DIET .
Vitamins not always necessary

VITAMIN and mineral sup-
plements are not necessary
for an individual eating a
well-balanced diet.

The Recommend Nutrient
intake (RNI) for Canadians
specifies the intake levels of
nutrients necessary for
healthy people.

These levels can be met by
eating according to Canada’s
Food Guide.

DAILY DOSE AS
INSURANCE

A popular trend in Canada
is the taking of a daily
vitamin-mineral supplement
as a form of health insurance
— in case the food intake
isn’t providing adequate
nutrients. People lack con-
fidence in the nutritional
quality of the food supply
although this attitude is
unsubstantiated.

In fact, the available foods
can provide more than 50 im-
portant nutrients needed dai-
ly. By contrast a
multivitamin-mineral supple-
ment contains only a few
micronutrients and none of
the macro-nutrients which
provide essential energy.
Neither does it provide fibre.

There are some concerns
and potential hazards related
lo. taking vitamin-mineral
supplements.

© A child may think that
chewable vitamins and
minerals are candies, and
take an overdose.

¢ Parents may think that
overdoses are harmless, and
may not seek medical atten-
tion for a child who has taken
too many tablets.

* Supplements may give
people a false sense of securi-
ty; they may pay little atten-
tion to their diets, thinking
that the supplement is all that
is required.

© Supplements are expen-
sive; money spent on sup-
plements would be better
spend on foods.

For those who get a
psychological benefit from
taking a multivitamin a day,
the use of supplement will
not be harmful — provided
the vitamins and minerals are
supphed in amounts approx-
imating the Recommended
Nutrient Intakes.

SINGLE SUPPLEMENTS

Single mutrient sup-
plements should not be taken
other than to correct a
specific defictency as
dhagnosed by a physician, or
to correct an imbalance tn the
diet due to food intolerance

Single nutrient sup
plements may cause a
nutnientimbalance Excessive
amounts of one Nutrient can
cause a deficiency in another,
even though the latter is pre
sent ain adequale amounts
bor example, high intakes of
vitamin b affect the status of
both vitamins A and kK
