***** I come from New England and in the fall and winter months we have constantly cloudy weather so it's pretty common place for people in the area to be Vitamin D deficient.
+Snakebite105 He says "If your eating a regular diet you should be fine" as if most peoples diets aren't comprised of mostly biscut-like foods, like that pirate....Most people have deficiencies so vitamin rich foods are needed. The body only absorbs about 12% of synthetic vitamins TOPS! THAT'S what the focus should be here. I think this show might just be meant to school us on trivial shit and fool us on IMPORTANT ones....just a thought though lol
Snakebite105 You mean people *say* they are deficient, or they are diagnosed as such by a medical physician? If you eat varied food, you'll be fine. Vitamin D deficiency is a risk if you're old, or if you have a bowel disorder.
+Smaakjeks Kjeks Or if you live somewhere shitty. I know a number of people who were diagnosed as vitamin D deficient after moving to Scotland, due to the lack of sun. But then vitamin D deficiency ain't even too bad.
@@Serve24 you do now vitamins are way cheaper option right? Groceries in NYC cost $70+ a week. For reference, a head of broccoli cost $7. A bottle of vitamin that last one year cost only $30
@@Serve24 it's NYC, everything is expensive and you get very little of it. That's why I said vitamins are a good supplements if you are a poor college student. Once I get a job, I could care less as NYC has some of the highest paying jobs in the world. But until then, I'm dirt poor
This video is 100% irresponsible. Vitamins are not magic.... but they are needed for things like deficiencies, and other disorders. Vitamins also serve as a great way for preventative care, but he is right you shouldn't mega dose... However this video makes it sound like no matter what life style you live you never need vitamins... XD
Mickey Moose well yes, but the message it was conveying is if you eat a fairly nutritious diet and aren’t prescribed them then you don’t need the supplements
He’s talking about normal people and people who don’t have such disorders, he simply said that if you eat normally then from that alone you usually get the amount of vitamins you need and that overdosing on them is not a great idea, he never said that if your doctor prescribes it or if you have a vitamin deficiency then just die, he simply aimed it at the majority who don’t have such problems and just take vitamins because they think it’s healthy. It’s pretty much just misunderstood, though I can forgive people for misunderstanding since the point wasn’t completely clear and could be represented better
Except deficiencies ARE common, especially vitamin D deficiencies in areas that don't have as much sun. So people living in these states aren't as "normal" as people who live in sunnier climates?
Why is this even an issue? Everyone where I live(Denmark) knows that vitamins are basically just there to supplement any deficiencies(most often in winter, when we don't get a lot of sun).
Same in England, I take vitamins (vitamin D mainly, plus some others) during the winter, and occasionally I take extra supplements if my doctor says I need to, also if I can't eat enough fruits.
+Amanda Vadon True, if your diet is heavily lacking a nutrient then a supplement to bring it up to normal levels is a good idea. But as stated in the video, that's a rather extreme case these days. Overloading on vitamins can be a very bad thing though, as whatever your body doesn't need needs to be metabolized and filtered out by the liver and having to continually do so puts enormous strain on it. If you think you've got a vitamin deficiency due to poor diet, chance your diet a bit, if you think you have a vitamin deficiency due to something else like an illness or other medical reason, go see a doctor.
As a board certified physician (M.D.), I'm concerned that this misleading viral video will make the public think vitamins are never necessary. Because of socio-economic factors (i.e., financial access to fresh vegetables and fruit), Americans may not meet their nutritional requirements with their diet alone and may in certain instances need supplementation for healthy function: for example, prenatal vitamins (folic acid and iron) during pregnancy, vitamin D and calcium in patients with osteopenia. Hope people watching this video will talk to their physician first before believing CollegeHumor.
Well said! Not only are socio-economics a factor, but lack of good info as well! Rich people can be taken in by fad diets that aren't good for them just as well as anyone, and veggies and fruits can be mishandled, or labeled "fresh" even when it's been sitting around for a few days, losing its nutritional potency. As Jackie Chan's "uncle" says in his cartoon, "You must do research!!"
I agree that there are limitations to Vitamins in pill form but I appreciated that your comment covered the real need for prenatal vitamins by women. I wish there was a follow up video that covered this aspect and benefits of vitamins.
As a nutritional science major this video made me feel so many different things 😅 I can guarantee you that taking vitamins/minerals does not equate to being healthy in general. But for some people, mostly the the elderly and frequently females in general, their bodies can’t absorb vitamins as effectively as they would hope. For the average American, vitamin supplements are NOT necessary. For some, they can be beneficial. For others, they’re basically a godsend. But there are upper limits to how much you should consume through your diet and supplements, and consumption above that amount puts you at high risk for suffering the effects of toxicity for that particular vitamin/mineral. That applies to everybody. I agree that, for example, vitamin C can definitely not cure the common cold. But it’s irresponsible to portray all vitamins in such a negative light. That being said, I still love these videos and the lies & truths they expose 😊 I appreciate your work, keep it up!
That's not really the case, a lot of people have vitamin deficiency, it's just not so severe as to be a primary complaint when coming in to see the doctor. There has yet to be a diet devised that will get you all of the necessary vitamins while keeping to contemporary caloric requirements. A diet that would get you all the necessary vitamins, would make you obese as foods lack the necessary nutrient density to make it work.
A doctor (neurosurgeon) told me the body often times can't process vitamin pills, so they're essentially useless. Apparently eating fruit is way more effective even if you have deficiencies.
I just saw, a case of Vitamin A overdose about two months ago. This woman not only consumed the pills on a daily basis 2 or 3 times a day, but also she had a friend make her a list of each food rich in VitA and made that her ONLY diet, barely any vegetables. She came in with pleural edema, fotosensitivity and a horrible rash that caused a necrosis around her lips and on the tip of her nose (wich almost had to be removed). She is almost blind, and when she was informed of the cause she claimed she was gonna sue the hospital "because they were trying to replace vitamins in the world with vaccines, and make everyone retarded". Anyway, nice holidays to all!!!
+Fede Did She must not have included any vitamin D with it. Even high doses of A around a million IU for several days won't become toxic if as little as 1000 IU of D3 is taken with it.
+WaterspoutsOfTheDeep thats what so rare about it! She was only 46 y/o, i was also thinking se could be alcoholic since she denied drinking way to strongly and had some signs of B12 and B6 deficit... is amazing how far some cases can go :(
And all because of that fraudulent research paper that stated that the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine causes autism. Fuck the paper and fuck the arsehats who produced it.
The title is misleading, it should say "The Weird Reason We Think Vitamin SUPPLEMENTS Are Good For Us . . . ". Vitamins ARE obviously good for you and even (as the video states) are essential for life, which is the definition of a vitamin.
And even supplements are useful in a lot of cases. Taking vitamin D supplements during winter is typically a good idea. Taking vitamin B12 is essential if you don't eat animal products. And taking other vitamins is probably useful for a lot of people as well, considering how common it is to have a horribly one-sided diet.
@@lenasandner4721 Exactly. Especially if you have a dark skin color and live way up north. Here in Finland in the winter we get less than 3 hours of sunlight at the minimum point. Those whose ethnic backgrounds are from northern areas have a lighter skin that is capable of producing more vitamin D for less sunlight, but those whose ethnic backgrounds are from the equator for example and have a darker skin color produce next to none vitamin D at all during that short period of time so they literally have to take supplements to get any. It being cold in the wintertime lessens that amount even further because people wear more clothing and the little sunlight doesn't even get to your skin in the first place.
Vitamins is short for Vital Amines as in amino acids that are essential for living. Over time the definition of a vitamin was somewhat expanded to include things which were other types of molecules, but by definition they are things that the body either cannot produce on its own or cannot produce in sufficient quantity on its own without supplementation. The main issue is when people take excessive amounts of vitamins hoping for additional benefit. With the exception of fat soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K, the rest are mostly passed out of the body along with the urine. They may still have some harmful effects anyways, but it's moderated by the fact that it dissolves in water and exits via urine.
@@lenasandner4721 A one sided diet makes no sense unless the person lives off PIZZA Daily for an entire life time could cause Problems indeed. Donuts with water would be more one sided but retards get treated.
AJ P Yeah, everyone has cancer cells inside them, no matter what, and they'll start replicating eventually. But if you died and the cells still haven't started replicating, you're good then.
+xXRockXLobsterXx Let's also be fair, this dummy Adam is just a tool for the big pharma. Vitamins are useless. Brooohaaahhhaaahhhaaa. Bad vitamins that big pharma produces are useless for sure. But well made real vitamins are critical since the food you eat today has about a third of the vitamins that they had 50 years ago thx to corporate farming techniques.
@@lolmanmagee2785 A reference to Pitch meetings. Nice.... But some of the things that are being said in the comments... Are actually true. If you have an unhealthy or uneven diet, vitamin supplements are a necessity, because your body currently doesn't have what it should in vitamins.
@@THE_AceOfSarcasm not saiyan its incorrect due to the fact they got it from google, google is useful for loadsa things ; on a side note im surprised but happy someone got the pitch meetings reference
@@lolmanmagee2785 Oh, I don't think all of them got it from Google. I know I didn't. I personally don't eat much, and it didn't take a Google search to connect the dots, and realise that I should take vitamin supplements because if I don't eat enough, I'm not going to get the vitamins I need.
That Michael Jackson comment was the truest thing I’ve ever heard. “Changed the game, we had no idea how crazy he was and 40yrs later we’re still humming the tunes”
Chillycheese52 This guy is full of crap. Im a doctor. Vitamins are very important for immunity. Common cold is caused by virus and immunity can't beat the virus. Learn some basic science before saying shit on youtube or your own tv show. Immunity increases your durability and withstanding power to stop infections and help in curing the same. Yea there is a problem with high levels of vitamins called vitaminosis which is not even lethal but may cause u bowel problems. But u need to take like around 4000mg of vitamins per day to reach that level. This guy is full of shit without even doing his research he tells this. Taking prophylactic vitamins are very important for health in case of women who are menstruating, pregnant and for children without them it causes birthdefects in pregnant women and growth retardation in children which are included in the national immunisation schedule. If it was fake why would WHO would put vitamins in NIS. This guy is full of bullcrap doing everything for the like and follow. He conveniently talks only of flu. This guy is fake and manipulates the facts.
Sarat Anandh I think you misunderstand Adam's argument, although I will note that he does not put it across very clearly. His is arguing against "mega supplement pills" for vitamins, deeming them over the top. I don't believe he is denouncing Vitamins, although it may seem like it, but rather taking a jab at the lengths people go to ensure they are all stocked up on Vitamins (ie spending 60 dollars for 3 weeks worth of Vitamin C Pills when you can spend less for the same effect by eating fruits)
+Periced Corruptus Aw, are "everyone is stupider than me" crazies not using Sheeple anymore? Troglodyte's a great word, but you can't go wrong with a good "wake up, Sheeple!!!"
+Fearl yes, but with most things he only gets it half right or he focuses on a particular notion within a subject. Like...vitamins and he is focusing only on vitamin c and curing the common cold and then the topic is "vitamins are useless."

Vitamins are roughly comparable to electricity to your computer. It needs electricity to function but hooking it up to a massive generator and dumping in all the amperage u can isn't gonna do anything to increase the amount of function you get out of it
I'm pretty sure you mean what thousands of people before you have said, and repeated, with multiple previous scientific evidence backing it up. You're certainly not the first person to say that.
This is why mainstream daytime television "programming" sucks: Most of the shows (especially the "doctor" shows) are nothing more than hour-long infomercials trying to convince housewives to buy useless stuff they "need."
All the people getting mad in the comments: he's not saying don't take your prescribed vitamin supplements. Sometimes, there are cases where it makes sense to take them. But for the average human who's eating a fairly healthy diet and not doing any extreme exercise or anything, these vitamins won't do much to help you. Like some other people have said, you're just having an expensive excrement. So yes, if you live somewhere more northern that doesn't get a lot of sun and take supplements, that's okay. And if you have low iron (like my mother, three of my friends, and many other men and women) take supplements. Changes in diet can help, but if you're prescribed supplements, take them. Just don't buy vitamins and consume them like candy because you think they're the magical cure for everything. That's what the video is getting at. Because there are people who do this. The people who take supplements of every vitamin, even though they are not deficient in most if not any of them.
Exactly. Me and my fiance take them because we can't always eat properly, hes a truck driver so it helps him when hes stuck eating fast food, and helps me when I'm too busy to cook properly. Changing our diets would cure everything, that is very much true.
That's true, I was recently positive for a low af on vitamin B3/B6 and I had to buy suplements for it... After I took it the first night I slept like a baby and I stopped getting my hands cold and stuff... Is really something when you aren't getting your vitamins
He doesn't mention medical conditions at all, and the title literally states that vitamins aren't healthy. Contradiction and exaggeration for the sake of views. That's precisely the problem with his diatribes.
Well the case is vitamin pills can be usefull for most of the ppl. If you eat perfectly you didnt really need vitamin pills, but someone, who didnt eat regularly and didnt eat healthy, really need them. Vitamins not cure for disease, but they incrase your durability against bacteriums, a cold and all sort of thing...
And let's face it, there's a lot of people who are not exactly what we would call healthy eaters - and if taking a vitamin supplement can benefit them health wise I'm all for it....!
+GorillaGuerilla your body absorbs around 20% of those vitamins supplements you take, and the rest comes out with urine. So it is really waste of money. Better eat healthy.
for everyone in the comments, if you are wondering whether you need to take/can take vitamin supplements, schedule a blood test that tests vitamin levels (and also iron, which is a common deficiency) with your doctor (if you can afford it), or just sit down and have a talk with them about your diet. the doctor will show you the results and tell you if you need to either be thinking about your vitamin intake in normal foods, need to take supplements and prescribe them to you, or whether you have too much of something (which is entirely possible). if you have the money and means to do this, it is a way better alternative than to just assume you're not getting enough and accidentally either hurting your body, or doing something useless.
The problem is that testing your vitamin levels is far more expensive than just buying the supplements... (I'm not recommending that you just take supplements on the assumption that you might need them)
The title is very misleading. Just because (apparently) in America what people call “vitamins” is vitamin supplements, doesn’t mean you should remove the “supplement” part from the title especially when you explained the difference in the video. But I guess this may just be a video directed to Americans and as an Italian I just find it stupid… Here’s a suggestion: you could change “we” to “Americans” and “us” to “them” in the title.
It is easy to seem smart when you surround yourself with actors playing dumb. Its really annoying. He seems to try and flaunt his knowledge. Good thing he has a script to make him appear intelligent.
+BeginToThink yes ikr there have been people who have been put into remission of cancer with huge amounts of vitamin D, but the FDA says the only thing that helps cancer is Chemo and Radiation which only works 2-3% of the time
+BeginToThink Thank you! I am getting sick of this kind of humor on the TV and online. Both right wing and left leaning TV shows love bringing on the most absurd people to argue with, and then when the person says nothing, they just laugh and say "That's who disagrees with us! Isn't it obvious! He's wrong!" And people actually think that it is educational.
+TLP lucky Why do you say that? They backed up their claim with scientific research, do the same and people might not regard you as a crazy person who denies science even when it's thrust in front of them.
+GlowInTheDark MC these videos are not educational! this is only partly true and is seen from a certain perspective. dont believe everything you see and hear in the media vitamins are essential to stay healthy. you have to consume a certain dosis of essential vitamins or you will get sick or die...but it is true that, if you eat healthy and balanced you are not in need for vitamin pills at all.
Vitamins are helpful in many ways for those that don't get the amount of nutrients they should be getting already. Consider the average college student, eating a few meals a day of generally simple carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. For the layman who eats maybe 3 bananas and two salads a week, a potassium supplement may be beneficial. Do they need 7g of potassium injected directly into their veins? No. Does it help to have a supplement to act as a buffer? Yes. It's true supplement companies go to some extreme lengths at times, still there is somewhat of a necessity for vitamin buffers.
If you are actually low enough on potassium that side effects show up, taking vitamin supplements won't help. They are only legally allowed to put in about 100mg per pill (it has issues with kidney diseases, some medications and things like that is why). You are far, far better off eating, say, a baked potato with the skin, eating some spinach, drinking a glass of orange juice, drinking a glass of milk or even drinking a glass of coconut water. Each of those gives over 4 times more (and the potato up to ten times more) potassium in a more enjoyable, useful way than a simple pill. Or, yeah, eat a banana. Those things are cheap. Funny thing. Those "Nature Made" supplements for potassium say something like 550mg on the front... but each pill only contains 90mg of potassium.
Exactly! Throughout my childhood, I was an extremely picky eater. I don't know why, but I think I read somewhere that people on the autism spectrum (like me) are selective eaters. I've expanded my palate now, but I'm still choosy about what I eat. Because of this, I've been taking vitamin supplements since I was a kid, and still do to this day. And it's worked out fine. The only times you should take vitamins is when you're
+Evan Gragg I should hope so; the man was unabashedly lying and on the same news channel that reported it, they then started gushing about his latest recommendation.
+Evan Gragg Doctor Oz used to give real advice when he was on Oprah. But now that he has to give people half an hour of content once a week, his show has deteriorated dramatically. He really gives out either pseudoscience or advice based upon minimal evidence. He has also has become the king of exaggerators.

The only vitamin I use on a semi-regular basis is D vitamin. When you're prone to seasonal depression and live in an area that gets only few hours of sunlight a day during the dead of winter, it's a good addition. I suffer from moderate-to-severe depression anyway, so I'd rather be safe, because so often I've gone to school/work when it's pitch black and left when it's dark again, without catching a single ray of sunshine the entire day. It's full on night time by like 3pm.
+Maxim T Potvin Actually no that was disproven vitamin C actually prevents and dissolves kidney stones you are giving out faulty information. orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v09n05.shtml
I had really serious health problems due to vitamin B12 and vitamin D shortage also I eat normal (the vitamin D is a problem.of me not liking to go in the sun ) so I got 2 different medications and got better after a few days .. Also there is a professor (sadly I don't know the name but if you search for the topic you'll find him ) he got un treatable cancer when he was 60 and he used high dosages of vitamin C i.v. and lived until 90 ..with the cancer ..he wrote some extremely good studies about the topic .. Telling the people who don't have the possibility of just lack of information to JUST EAT RIGHT is absolutely stupid and even dangerous .. Vitamin supplements can be good in many cases ..and like anything they can also be bad in some ..it depends on the dosage .. Saying all of these are bad and only existing that the organization producing them make money is BS
+Smiles Yeah. So that ig Pharma who has been trying to patent Vitamins for the past 50 years can tell you vitamins aren't good for you. But their toxic pills are. Don't eat better and equalize your system. Let us shoot toxic waste into your blood stream until your tongue falls out. What he said in this video is factually inaccurate. Sad that people will actually believe it. On another note. Did you hear that Marijuana kills rain cells?...
+JRMCNEA I can provide anecdotal evidence that marijuana is bad for your brain. Just talk to my wife's siblings for a half hour or so and you'll believe it too.
+My last display name was too long While under the influence of marijuana, it does negatively impact the functionality of your mind. However, so do many over-the-counter medicines, and they are not "bad for your brain." This isn't to say marijuana is fine for you, but currently, all that's known for sure is that it can help a lot with some mental disorders (most commonly depression) and smoking it is bad for your lungs.
Discovered Adam Ruins Everything recently and I absolutely love it. You're doing a great job Adam (and team). So well done - from Adam's delivery to the super clever use of film techniques and transitions to make it visually engaging. Love it.
If I, as a biologist, suddenly tell you that elephants don't exist, you know that's a crock of dung. The fact is that Adam has done his research and sources people WHO DO HAVE THOSE QUALIFICATIONS and have proven that bad medical practise is behind this information. This means he doesn't need a medical license to tell you that some people that do have one are absolute lying hacks.
Vitamins supplements are not completely useless. They do nothing if you live a healthy life and eat normally, but if you lack some vitamins because of your lifestyle, supplements can be good. For example, I am almost always in the dark, and not getting sunlight means producing less vitamin D, supplements can help with that.
+Metsuryu They most certainly do not "do nothing" (sorry for the double negative). Anything in excess can be extremely harmful, especially when it comes to anything that your body needs, such as nutrients.
Everyone in my state is getting sick rn. Including my brokers, girlfriend, dad, dad's girlfriend, grandma, girlfriends parents, etc. I've been around all of them and I haven't gotten sick. I usually get sick this time of year. But I've been taking vitamin C and D dialy. Correlation? Probably
The title is misleading. Even in the video Adam admits we need a little. But in the case of micronutrients, a little is a lot, and the average diet doesn't cover all the bases. I think this is an important topic to cover, but I'm disappointed in the clickbait.
+Juil The average diet covers all the bases and more than we need. Unless you have some kind of dietary restriction like you cannot eat a certain type of food due to allergy or you have some kind of eating disorder or you're vegan, no one in first world countries at all has any kind of dietary malnourishment. No one in first world countries, with only minor exceptions, needs any kind of vitamin or mineral supplement; it's just a scam to sell pills that usually don't even contain what they claim to contain and also often times are dangerous leading to cancers later in life.
My former boss, who was a doctor, actually brought some vitamin C to the office during winter to prevent his employees from getting sick. I was quite disappointed about a doctor not knowing his stuff and took none of the vitamin C. Although very rare, vitamin deficiencies can also occur in industrialized countries, but if there is one vitamin we really got enough of, it's vitamin C. That shit is in everything. It's even used as preservative agent in many processed food...
Vitamin D is different than other vitamins, as it doesn't really come from the diet, and is more of a hormone than anything. I would definitely take vitamin D if you don't get a lot of sun.
Taking Vitamin D does almost nothing- it needs to be turned into its active state by UV exposure, so you need the sun (or other appropriate UV light). You can't ingest the active form. That's why you'll find photos of submarine crew being exposed to artificial UV light- they need it- tablets won't do a thing... probably: Vitamins A, D, E and K are all lipid (fat) soluble, which means your body can store them easily. That means they're the vitamins you really have to watch out for overdosing on if you are taking supplements. It's probably good that those tablets you're eating are actually doing nothing.
That's not accurate... I've had my active vitamin D tested before and after supplementing and it definitely changed. You're not going to "overdose" on vitamin D by taking 1000 or 2000 IU a day.
+Jp Riemann If they are water soluble (like C). Fat soluble vitamins are stored, and can become toxic in large doses (the ones he mentioned; the dosage has to be pretty friggin' huge though)
+Jp Riemann Most over-the-counter vitamins are water soluble, so excess intake of them just makes expensive pee (But they are hard to OD on). Fat soluble vitamins on the other hand...
+Jp Riemann That is true for water-soluble vitamins, such as Vitamin C and vitamins within the B-family. Excess amounts of these kinds of vitamins will just wash out with your urine, and your kidneys will only filter in the amount you need. The vitamins you have to be careful with, are the fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin A, D, and K. It is very rare that food alone would cause you to take unhealthy amounts of these, but if you take too many supplements with them, it can be problematic. Only take them within the recommended dosage.
There have been incidents of scurvy in the student community in my town. Students who live off frozen pizza and actually remove the little pieces of peppers that are on them. Vitamin supplements are useless, unless your diet itself is useless.
Interesting fact about B carotene. It was found that people who had more B carotene in their blood were healthier (less cancer + heart disease I think), and then people drew the conclusion that B carotene itself must be good and you should supplement with it. However the higher levels of B carotene in the blood were from eating a greater amount of fruits and vegetables, which was the real benefit. Like you said B carotene supplements themselves were found to be harmful.
***** Medical science doesn't reject supplements completely, but their recommended uses are just very limited. Like you say; if you are lacking a certain nutrient, just eat more fruit. If that still doesn't work, see a doctor.
I've been really sick and my sister started making my family take these gummy vitamins and I've been wondering if that is what got me sick but now it's all cleared up. Thanks Adam!

I think it would've been good to at least make a passing reference to fringe examples where vitamins are necessary. For instance, I moved to Interior Alaska and in the winters we see very little sunlight. This contributes to lethargy, depression, and higher production of cortisol levels (not to mention the way it ruins your circadian rhythm.) Vitamin D helps tremendously with this.
