I just read through that article, and can't say I agree with much of what is said there (although some of the info is ok). I don't tend to agree with the philosophies of those in the Weston Price Foundation.
For a multivitamin, there are a few things you want to keep in mind:
(1) Try and get the vitamins from food sources whenever possible (if you buy a good supplement, which I think you should, it should have the vitamins from from food sources.
(2) Avoid any supplement that has preformed Vitamin A, isolated beta carotene, or iron (unless you are anemic). All of these are toxic or are unhealthy as has been shown in numerous studies published in the most respected medical journals.
(3) Should have at least 800 IU's of vitamin d.
(4) Should have ample amounts of all nutrients without megadoses of any one nutrient.
I can recommend some multivitamins if you wish, but I will tell you I think most of them out there are garbage!
Best,
Joey
