Can Multivitamins Prolong Life? Pharmaceutical News and Articles:May 18, 2009
This article describes the effects of multivitamins and the results of the many people that are drawn to these vitamins. According to the article, "multivitamin use was associated with longer leukocyte telomeres, compared with nonusers, daily multivitaminusers had, on average, 5.1 percent longer leukocyte telomeres". If these vitamins are as successful as the article makes them to be, why aren't more people trying to extend their life? Why are mostly women attracted to multivitamins?

ReplyDeleteIn answer to your first question, I think a majority of the people on this earth either are uneducated regarding health risks or do not have the money and resources to be able to afford ample health care. I think that society, especially in developing countries, puts a lesser emphasis on multivitamins when a great number of people still don't have necessities such as clean water or food.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a concrete answer to your second question; however, I do believe that females' attraction to multivitamins may not be so unrelated to their desire to take extra time to put on makeup, read a magazine, etc.
