UK nutritionist group criticises JAMA vitamin B study

UK nutritionist group criticises JAMA vitamin B study: "UK group, the Health Supplements Information Service (HSIS), has added to criticism of a recent Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) study that found folic acid and vitamin B12 did not benefit heart attack survivors.
HSIS nutritionist Dr Carrie Ruxton said the study was an example of nutrients being asked to do that which they are not designed to do, or capable of doing.

“This latest review is yet another study that has attempted to use vitamin supplements in high doses as if they were drugs in a trial amongst patients who already had cardiovascular disease,” she said."
