Part II USRDA Vitamin Chart (what experts aren't saying)- Health Benefits and Recommended Amounts

(Read Part 1 to get more of this article)

Here's something to consider most experts aren't saying.

Nutritional studies with animals have shown that the amounts of some nutrients sufficient to provide health and the prevention of a deficiency disease for short periods of time may be totally inadequate to maintain health over the animals entire life. Some doctors are saying several thousand mgs of Vitamin C could prevent heart disease instead of the measly 60mg recommended. Also note these amounts don't reflect amounts unhealthy people should take.
