I’ve gone back and forth on taking a multivitamin since I know my diet isn’t all that great. Ideally I should be working to improve that diet but let’s say due to certain circumstances that’s a bit difficult at the moment.
Would it be worth taking a 1 a day multivitamin to at least correct some possible deficiency or is it very unlikely that it would have any effect?
Not asking for professional medical advice or anything, mostly looking to see if anyone else is taking a multivitamin and if so why?
Depends. Many minerals in the multivitamin are not bioavailable and some block absorption of others. Since there are so many together you can’t tell if it will have the desired effect and in which quantity.
There are some vitamins that definitely have a positive effect such as A, C, E, K and B12 but a 100% RDA of zinc with zincoxide does fuck all.
So it’ll most likely have a positive effect. That being said the cliche is true: It’s not a replacement for a healthy nutrient rich diet and balanced diet.

Agree with everything except the vegestable oil, it’s high in good fats
There’s new studies that disagree, they are easily oxidized fats and there’s evidence that they heavily contribute to heart disease. Saturated fats from animal sources seems to be the way to go.
Then again if you don’t exercise and aren’t metabolically healthy you’ll probably still have issues regardless of what you do.

Can you post those studies? Pretty much all the studies I’ve seen show that unsaturated fats are what you want.

There is some recent evidence that some unsaturated fats are unhealthy from another perspective, like soybean oil, but that isn’t all of them (e.g. olive oil is still healthy for you).
That’s the one. :)
To add to that there seems to be a link between vegetable oil and weight gain when calories are kept equal between two groups of rodents.
