Does long-term use at least delay the onset of cognitive decay?
Supplements are waste of money until proven otherwise.
It seems like most but not all are. Vitamin D seems worth taking. Also a decent multivitamin seems like it could be helpful if diet is otherwise shitty. Fish oil may also be good? Especially if it's a quality brand and you don't get a lot of omega-3 in diet?
Large RCTs or go home.
I honestly don't know about those but I'm just going by what people need and what they get. If your diet is junk food, you may not be getting much if any of certain things. Ergo, multivitamin. Shouldn't this make sense?
Lots of things make sense but are false. Big multi-vitamin study can't even find an effect on IQ in Nepal. I want these diet people to put up or shut up. There's essentially no evidence for anything they say, and lots of ignored evidence against. http://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/?p=7106
Might their diets not have been pretty sufficient? I mean it's not as if people don't die of vitamin A deficiency and such. *At some point* they must be helpful and good.
Well, apparently, that some point is not even reached in Nepal -- a median country with respect to development. Why keep pushing for things that have no evidence and tons of contrary evidence? So annoying and I start being mean.
