I see CENTRUM is on the Bad Vitamin list, maybe Ill check out GNC next time i out and about.

No, Centrum was on the list of vitamins they TESTED. You have to subscribe to see the full results; although the MSNBC article mentioned that Centrum silver passed.

My wife (a nutritionist) gets a good newsletter called Nutrition Action, funded by subscriptions and put out by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, the group which lobbied successfully for nutrition labels on foods in the US. CSPI also rated vitamins in one of their recent issues, and while Centrum Silver did pretty well, the best vitamin actually turned out to be Walgreens One Daily Men's. Who'd a thunk it, eh? A generic brand turned out to be the best.

Some nutritionists can get moralistic about eating a healthy diet, and while that's ideal, the majority recommend that everyone take a daily multivitamin. It can fill in nutritional chinks you didn't even know you had.

Because I participate in sports, I too use vitamins to fill in the gaps where my healthy diet might not cover.
