Tesco Vitamins

too little too late

Tesco Immune Support Vitamin C and Evening Primrose Tablets are 40 cent in Tesco today and also they are 3 for 2 .... well worth stocking up!

I bought a small thing of Zinc from Llyods pharmacy.
I checked my old bottle of zinc tablets from Tesco.
They are the EXACT same, bottle, tablets everything.. Llyods are twice the price!

Interesting article. Claiming that very high doses of anti-oxidants (as advocated by Linus Pauling) are bad for ya and cause cancer. Last sentence:

"In 1994, Linus Pauling died of prostate cancer"

They forget to state that he was nearly 94 years old

Best to get your vitamins out of health food stores! I would be concerned about the fillers and binders that are going into them tablets!

Just looked at the ingredients there is 5 different types of sugar in these tablets, Better off eating an orange.

You left out the wife dying of cancer as well. 77.

Age is irrelevant with regard to that article anyway.

No there isn't.

Ingredients: Bulking Agent (Sorbitol),Sodium Ascorbate ,Ascorbic Acid ,Maltodextrin ,Magnesium Stearate ,Sweeteners (Aspartame*, Acesulfame K) ,Flavouring ,Acacia Gum

Pretty much the same as sugar free chewing gum (with added vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid))

There is zero calories in a whole box of these...

Indeed. That Pauling died of cancer is irrelevant to that article too

Mentioning that (never mind the implied link to him taking high doses of anti-oxidants) clearly shows it's not an objective, scientific article. I'd say the author probably has some kinda agenda on this subject...

Interesting read all the same.

He spent half his life saying that if you took your vits it would ward of disease and then dies of cancer.

It is relevant.

Lots of links to back stuff up. Dont know where your getting the agenda stuff from.

No it is not

The fact that one man died of cancer after taking high doses of vitamins for a long time means nothing in terms of scientific research

That he lived to be 93 means nothing either

Faux science and ramblings aside ... Evening primrose oil scanning at normal price in tesco Roscommon. I'm guessing the 40c is a bug with the 3 for 2 that you were charged the vitamin c price.

Sorbitol and maltodextrin are forms of sugar, certainly not sugar free!
Aspartame and acesulfame artificial sweeteners which imo are worse than sugar!

Artificial sweeteners were recently shown to interfere with Gut Microbiome leading to weight gain, Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes.

Knew well it was full of poison.

Is Ascorbic Acid a Vitamin?

Sigh. Taking a couple of those pills every day is probably the equivalent of taking a can of diet coke a week or something like that. Do you honestly believe that will harm you in any way?

And no, I wouldn't recommend anyone to eat several kg of artificial sweeteners per day

Maybe, just maybe...

However, the Supplements link (and the mad prices thereon....) on that site makes me very dubious of 'thedoctorwithin'. And that's without clicking on any other links.
