The article discusses the efforts of many people to remain healthy as of November 2013, focusing on a report which indicates that Americans spend close to 12 billion dollars per year on vitamin supplements. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force claims that there is not enough evidence available to determine if most vitamins and minerals can in fact lower the risks of heart disease or cancer. Vitamin E, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, and the American Medical Association are also examined.
