Good vitamins-yes.
Even if you ate a healthy diet
You would have to eat 15 peaches today to get the vitamins you got before by eating just one peach. Because of what we have done to our food. No-where in the world is corn not contaminated by something due to the seeds we get by already diseased plants. It won't kill you but it is not good for you.
Sad but true. There are many causes to this which is a whole story in itself.
Take them and take a good one--too many out there are worthless.

Remember vitamins are also called or considered "suppliments". If you are eating healthy they may just be a waist of money. Veggies, fruits & grains are loaded with whatever you need. Beside's the food always taste's better than swallowing a dry capsule. Honestly I feel that they are beneficial for someone who has a busy lifestyle and doesn't have the time to prepare meals.
The best way to get them is mostly from food.

According to the Journal of American Medicine billions of dollars in health care costs could be saved if every american took a good multivitamin each day. The problem is that there are some very bad vitamins on the market. Centrum, for instance, contains some rather nasty chemicals like nickous sulfate, chromic chloride, stannous chloride, sodium selenite. Go to www.centrumistoxic.com
to find out the details.

Yes it is unless you are part of the 4% of people that actually get everything they need in their daily diet. With processed foods, fruits picked and gassed to ripen and vegetables grown in overworked fields there is little chance that you will. Even the Journal of American medicine states that everyone should be taking vitamins.

They can be. I have a doctor who only uses vitamins. They can help with other things like for me I take some when im stressed or for the rosacea in my face... They also help keep your body healthy in areas you dont know are lacking

Yes they are good for you, it will depend also of the type of person you are. There is 114 nutrients that your body needs and sometimes even though we could eat healthy sometimes all those healthy foods can give you all the nutrients.

I think they are not good, Pure Vitamins without combination of others elements who have food are not good.

No unless you are pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant. Your body can get all it needs from a healthy well rounded diet.
