A member asked:
For a couple of months i haven't been eating right, always skipping breakfast and eat dinner sometimes, am i at risk for any vitamin deficiency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You're at risk for vit. Deficiency even if you don't skip meals- over 2/3 of americans are deficient in folate, (folic acid) vit. E, calcium ; magnesium;over 1/3 deficient in vitamins a, c ; b6 as well as zinc ; iron. Unless your diet is exemplary it's wise to take a good multivit- see http://bit.Ly/1b36cq0 for independent ratings of 101 brands.But vits don't substitute for a good diet-see http://bit.Ly/18xyule.
