Los Angeles Valley College Vitamin Supplements Discussion

I’m working on a nutrition discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

For this discussion board, please read Controversy 7: Vitamin Supplements: What are the Benefits and Risks? at the end of Chapter 7 in our textbook Nutrition Concepts and Controversies, 15th ed. In your initial post, please discuss the arguments for and against taking supplements; whether or not they can protect you from chronic disease; and if you think they are needed or not. Use only the information from the assigned reading to support your statements and be sure to cite the source properly using APA formatting.
