Description

In this episode, Harini gives us a rundown of the history of vitamins and supplements. An unexpected byproduct of post-WWII, high-yield agricultural practices and the development of genetically modified, disease-resistant grains, supplements and supplemental vitamins quickly became a household staple to accommodate for nutrient-poor food. In less than a century, the world of "vits" and "sups" has evolved into a multi-billion dollar, unregulated industry. The FDA has no jurisdiction here. While the chance of supplement-poisoning is exceedingly rare, listeners will walk away from this episode raising eyebrows every time someone says, "Take your vitamins!".
