[Diabetes-talk] Recently DXED Pre-Diabetic

[Sandi Ryan]

Lately I've been hearing more and more medical scientists say that even a 
multivitamin is at the least wasteful and at the worst dangerous.  Omega-3 
supplements are no longer recommended to prevent heart disease.  It made 
sense they should work--but they don't.  Eating fish in moderation is still 
a good idea--the omega-3's in fish are effective--but as happens with so 
many supplements, they are either ineffective or have a very slight effect.
