Dietary Supplements

Dietary supplements are among the safest substances on the planet, safer even than food. According to statistics , you are 1,357 times more likely to die from eating food than from consuming natural healthcare products. (You are also 18 times more likely to die from a lightning strike than from natural supplements.) Deaths from food poisoning are quite common. So are deaths from anaphylaxis (e.g., allergic reaction to peanuts). Dietary supplements, however, have an impeccable safety record. In the half century that these products have been available in Canada, they haven't killed anyone. Zero deaths have ever been documented to have been caused by these ultra-safe products, not in any country, not ever. On rare occasion, Poison Control Centres in the U.S. have erroneously reported a death attributed to a particular vitamin. In every case such anomaly was subsequently discovered to be a reporting error. Deaths caused by vitamins are in fact zero. http://www.hfnn.ca/index.php?showArticle=17411
