Popping vitamins may do more harm than good, according to a new study.

Popping vitamins may do more harm than good, according to a new study.
Popping vitamins may do more harm than good, according to a new study, the Live Science website reported. 据“热点科学”网站报道,一项新研究显示,吃维生素的坏处或比好处多。
Researchers from the University of Minnesota examined data from more than 38,000 women. They found that women who took supplements had, on average, a 2.4 percent increased risk of dying, compared with women who didn't take supplements. 明尼苏达大学的研究人员分析了从3.8万名妇女收集来的信息。他们发现,吃滋补品妇女的死亡几率比不吃滋补品的妇女平均高出2.4%。
The study linked a number of individual vitamins and minerals to the slight mortality risk, including multivitamins, vitamin B6, folic acid, iron, magnesium, zinc and copper. 该研究将一些维生素、矿物质与稍高的死亡几率联系起来,其中包括多种维生素剂、维生素B6、叶酸、铁、镁、锌、铜。

The increased chance of dying "could be related to generally high concentration of compounds that these supplements contain," study author Jaakko Mursu said.

该研究的作者亚科·穆尔苏表示,死亡几率的增加“可能与这些滋补品中化合物浓度较高有关”。
