Well, I doubt the benefits, too, but I still take calcium, vitamin C, a multi-vitamin, and pop other pills when I can afford 'em, because this is America, damn it. The food we're offered is generally processed to hell, but I don't have the time, budget, or inclination to make an organic lentil stew every night. So like most folks, I take vitamins and supplements, cuz I figgur there's a slightly higher chance it'll help than it'll hurt.
