    It always seemed to me like Johnny first decides on his narrative, then finds evidence to support it, leading to some pretty biased reporting. In his defense, lots of scientists do the same these days...

    • @YaYippieYeah

      I strongly disagree with "lots of scientists do the same these days". First of all with your wording you do the same: You push a bias. "Lots of" does not quantify anything, but it sounds like "they are the majority".
      They are the minority, but they often have a louder voide and greater social reach. Thus we get the impression they are the majority, while they are actually not.

      Whatever the percentage is ...I also doubt, that it's a new phenomenon. It's just human nature. Scientist might be better armed against it than the general population, but that doesn't make them immune to bias or being corrupted by outside influences.
      I do believe though, that there are a heck of a lot of scientists out there, who genuinely do what they do because they love science and simply want to find the right answers to certain questions/problems.

    Harris has lost a lot of my interest as it became clear that I have to check a lot of his work to find out if his conclusions were arrived at through a biased lens or if he even did enough research to truly understand what he was investigating.

      The answer is he can't be trusted.
      Every time he touches politics he gets politics experts examining why he's wrong, every time he talks about history he gets people explaing why he's wrong, every time he talks about science he gets people explaining why he is wrong, and every time he does news he has journalists explaining how he has not integrity. He's basically made a whole anti-Harris sub genre of youtube

    If I remember correctly, a lot of these studies just asked people if they took a multivitamin or not. The general lack of effect can largely be explained by not controlling for dose or adherence. If a large percentage of the studies had given subjects the same multivitamin and then asked them to record in a journal if they took it every day the results might be a little more interesting.

      Vitamin D+K2:
      helped me a lot with mood and winter depression. Down from 1-2 months of depressive episode to just 2-4 weeks per winter.
      Omega3: i dont know what exactly it is, but i feel generaly better, less knee pain, less dry skin, less dry eye. Note that i NEVER eat fish, so maybe the supplement has a bigger effect on me.
      Creatine: since i take creatine i finally dream at night/can remember my dreams, which leads to me feeling like i actually slept at night. Before i felt like every day i go to bed tired and wake up 5min later still being tired. HUGE improments regarding quality of life. Also better sleep because i now never sweat in my sleep, before i often woke up a bit sweaty. I assume it is because creatine makes muscles store water, but thats just my guess.
      My girlfriend takes creatine too and also reports no more sweating at night. She also reports a better feeling of satiety when eating meals.
      For creatine we can both determine that the changes come from it, or the placebo effect since we both cycled it multiple times, no other changes

    Excerpt from the 2005 Anerican Chemical Society article "Vitamins: Purpose Nutrient" by Michel McCoy.
    "The discovery and synthesis of vitamins by U.S. and European chemists in the early years of the 20th century played an important role in transforming the pharmaceutical industry from one based on extracts and simple chemical compounds to one that was firmly rooted in complex synthetic organic chemistry.
    Vitamins also played a big role in the rise of drug companies like Switzerland's F. Hoffmann-La Roche and Germany's E. Merck. In the course of supplying the essential nutrients to a population that often lacked them, these companies learned how to carry out pharmaceutical chemistry with efficiency and on an industrial scale.
    Today, vitamins are a big business and vitamin deficiencies still plague the developing world. The manufacture of vitamins, however, has lost much of its glamour. Roche, for years the world's largest vitamins producer, was the last major drug company making them when it sold its business to the chemical firm DSM three years ago."

    This is my experience also, I have not seen any improvement with vitamins for myself, most of the time. And I have been trying different supplements for decades.
    I take them from time to time just to make sure I don't develop deficiencies.
    However, when ever I have been deficient, like once I was deficient with iron, taking it had HUGE effect immediately.
    My constant tiredness vanished in 3 days when I started taking the iron supplement when before no amount of sleeping helped with the tiredness at all. I was tired no matter how many hours I slept. 3 days of iron and I was once again, energetic myself.
    So if you are deficient, then they really do work.
    Also for some reason the only class of supplements which seem to work very well for me are amino acids.
    Essential amino acids and creatine have had the most dramatic effects.
    Probably here too deficiency is the reason they work so well for me.
    Maybe I should eat more meat..

      And nobody really checks for these things in children, unless they have a noticable issue. It's not, like they routinely get their blood levels checked, like older adults.

      You bring up a good point, all kind of factors involved with supplementation. Is it a reliable brand? Was the sup stored and administered correctly? Is the dosage not too low or high? etc.etc. Lots of extra factors to be considered and can effect a study or individual usage.

    Why do people take supplements if their levels are already good? Does this mean their levels used to be bad, but now they're good and they just want to make sure they stay good?

  • @larsnystrom6698

    The problem with multi-vitamins might be what they don't contain.
    Vitamin D3, K2, and magnesium for example.
    Multi-vitamins/minerals could be a basis of a supplement regime. But what about the rest, the things you really are deficient in?
    I find it hard to belive that supplementing with those things a large percentage of the population is deficient in wouldn't make any difference.
    Then sometimes supplements has forms of vitamins which are known not to he the best. So, they don't do much good.
    But mosttly, I think the research being dome is not able to pick up on the effect when there is one. To include 84 insufficient research papers is very likely to produce a null result. It's a qustion og garbage in, garbage iut.
    It's my belief that a good diet and only those supplements we know isn't covered by that (such as vitamin D) is pretty optimal. And that the multivitamins is just an unneccesary insurance. They do no harm, if well formulated.
    How many of you have optimal levels of Boron, for example? Or iodine and selenium?
    Yes, our salt might be ""fortified" with iodine, but not enough, and you probably don't eat enough of sea food, if yiu aren't japanese.
    Fortification of food is a very bad idea, if you ask me. I would much prefer if each country just gave us a free supplemeent with thoe things.
    Not everyone eat those fortified foods, you know!
    Perhaps food labels instead should make us aware of that this food item has been processed to remove these natural vitamins!
    That would make the producers fix things instead of glossing them over.
    Forbid food "fortifications"!

    Soooo if this is not within his domain and he doesn't know how to interpret the studies let alone have the depth of knowledge to analyze the studies properly then I have to ask why is he wasting our time unless he's just answering general questions and at the end tells everyone that he doesn't know what he's doing. One could argue that he doesn't know what he's doing. You see these dietary supplements don't work, That's why my cardiologist prescribed omega-3 ethyl esters and based on what I've read, I'm happily taking 4 grms daily.

    I think I have malabsorption of nutrients, especially after I turned 60, so have to supplement.
    When my gums start bleeding, I know I have to supplement with Vit C.
    My Vit D was 3 instead of 50 - 75 so I take that - I have actively avoided the sun for the past 30 years due to skin cancer.
    I'm under daily high stress so I take Vit B12 and Niacin.
    I have fibromyalgia with its accompanying IBS, so I often eat wrongly when I'm not nauseas.
    I used to be able to get all my nutrients from food, that was in the days when fruit smelled so delicious you couldnt walk past without buying it.
    I was bursting with energy on food alone, smoothies with celery, brocolli, fruits, oats, nuts and seeds for brunch (not a breakfast person), a massive salad before supper after gym, then something like steamed veggies and a cheeze sauce, chickpea coconut curry or or a chickpea omelette or tofu scramble.
    Then my partner defrauded me out of my business, and I had to rent out my house and live in my car. So diet was whatever I could get. I developed really poor eating habits, and could not afford any vitamins at that stage, that was a real cheap junk food time.
    Someone sponsored me a multi vitamin and a probiotic (Efficient Microbes) which was massively helpful in making me feel better and get through those days.
    My husband takes a multivitamin daily, although as far as I'm aware you should take them after a meal, and he takes them on an empty stomach so I'm not sure if it's doing anything for him or if he just has expensive pee🙄

    We do not need suplements unless perscribed by a real medical Dr. If you need to take something, one multivitamen/day
    will do.

    In my mind's eye I see you dancing around the elephant in the room. It's as if supplements are the equivalent of a band aid to someone who shoots them self in the foot 3 times a day. Supplements replace what might be missing. They do little to remedy the horrendous harm that people do themselves with terrible diet choices. No amount of vitamins can undo the harm of a steady diet of sugar and seed oils overeaten daily. A Canadian study in 1970 showed the huge decline in nutrition in Canadian agriculture products over a twenty year period. That was 55 years ago. I supplement almost everything.

  • @chettlar212

    I'm sorry but while the basic analysis in this video is great as always, I'm pretty disappointed in the conclusion you draw at the end. The primary issue is this extrapolation that it makes supporting the whole video saying "well supplements basically don't do anything." That is his ultimate takeaway and interpretation of what the study communicates, and that is hopelessly wrong. Vitamins and supplements are not the same thing, and as you point out in the video, the result of this study is pretty expected within the paradigm that supplements absolutely can do very significant things. His conclusion that he tries to draw that supplements are basically meaningless is extremely anti-scientific and is the main problem with his video.
