A Vitamin a day may do more harm than good

If you're banking on a daily vitamin to make up for any deficiencies in your diet, you may be getting a whole lot more-or-less than you bargained for. Of 21 brands of multivitamins on the market in the United States and Canada selected by ConsumerLab.com and tested by independent Laboratories, just 10 met the stated claim on their labels or satisfied other quality standards. Most worrisome, according to ConsumerLob.com president Dr. Tod Cooperman, is that one product, The Vitamin Shoppe Multivitmins Especially for Women, was contaminated with lead.
