But, say I was very ill, and not eating properly, my oncologist (who okayed all supplements I am on before I started taking them) would advise a multivitamin makes sense because you are not getting the threshold minimum of what you should be. What is a contentious area of reasearch is whether high doses of antioxidants feed cancer (whilst simulataneously there is research which shows it can be protective against cancer in those who don't have it).
More to follow.
Have great days everyone.
