Nobel prize winning chemist/biochemist Linus Pauling used to swear by it. I wouldn't worry about going over 300-400%, indeed doses this high are necessary for prompt effects if you have a cold, but it is my opinion that vitamin tablets are nowhere near as good as a balanced diet; whenever I've taken multivitamin/multimineral supplements I've found no real benefit, if anything I turn paler, so I've basically given up taking them on a regular basis.<P>(Of course, many people in your part of the world don't<BR>seem to know what a balanced diet *is*...)<P>------------------<BR>"Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking <BR> When I said I'd like to smash every tooth <BR> In your head"<BR> Bigmouth Strikes Again- The Smiths<P><BR><p>[This message has been edited by Gurgeh (edited September 25, 2000).] <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Kosh</b> <br /><small>Member # 167</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2000,8,25,14,55,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">September 25, 2000</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:55 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I've gotten into the little carrots myself.
