the United States. While
the practice has become
widespread and, at times,
questionable, it had its
start in legitimate health
concerns. In the 1920s, in
claims made by many vi-
tamin manufacturers, it’s
a different story. Multiple
studies have shown them to
be empty promises at best.
There is also potential for
harm for individuals using
mega-doses of vitamins.

bench. Coffey displayed _

According to the American Heart Association, half of the men who die suddenly of
coronary heart disease do not exhibit symptoms. The AHA also says that between 70
and 89 percent of sudden cardiac events occur in men. The AHA notes that the steps
that can help men reduce their risk for heart disease vary depending on their ages. For
example, men in their 20s can make sure they exercise regularly, avoid smoking and
secondhand smoke, and schedule routine wellness visits with their physicians.

"When I became judge, I inherited over 5,000 arrest warrants for children with fines
of over $1 million dollars," the University of Houston Law Center graduate told the
editorial board. Coffey worked with lawmakers to change the state's approach, and
in 2015 the state Legislature repealed the criminal offense of failure to attend school.

Dr. Eleazar Flores, a
physician with the Hous-
ton Methodist Primary

Methodist San Jacinto
Hospital, says if you’re a

health of your husband,
routinely stripped out of
foods. In the early 1900s,
vitamin B deficiencies
were common and pella-
gra, a disease marked by
diarrhea and skin rashes,
was common. In severe
cases pellagra could lead
to dementia, and in the
early decades of the 20th
century, it caused tens of
thousands of deaths, par-
ticularly in the South. This
led to the fortification of
cereal flours and products
with B vitamins and iron in
the 1930s, and the start of a
decline in pellagra cases in
the U.S.

Dear Doctor: Doctors
and nutritionists are now
saying that taking vitamin
and mineral supplements is
worthless. But many of the
foods we eat are fortified
with vitamins and min-

worthless?
Dear Reader: While
it’s true that there’s a new
awareness regarding di-
etary supplements, in-
cluding multivitamins, the
conclusion has never been
that they are worthless. In
some cases, vitamins and
minerals can help to fill
