Long-term multivitamin-mineral may decrease women's risk of dying from heart disease | Fox News

Long-term multivitamin-mineral may decrease women's risk of dying from heart disease | Fox News: Despite research suggesting that multivitamins do little for reasonably well-fed Americans, the question is not settled say researchers from the National Institutes of Health.
