Be careful of nutritional supplements

In this post, I referenced a Science News article relating the benefits of eating colorful foods. One thing I forgot to mention is that concentrated supplements may not replace actually eating the foods.

One study found that people with an overly high amount of beta-carotene in their diet were much more susceptible to skin cancer.

A word to the wise is, eat the foods and a variety of the foods.
