Should I take vitamin tablets and other supplements or are they largely snake oil?

By all means, but not as a feeble attempt to make up for a crap diet.

Yes but you'll have to do your research and consider your diet. You absolutely should be taking vitamin D at the moment, not just because of coronavirus but because we don't get much sunlight in winter.

Literally everyone has a crap diet then and that's unlikely to change without serious effort. The NHS advice is bollocks.

I'm not quite sure what crap diet means really, we clearly have a better diet than humans have ever had at any point in history before now.

Didn't people in the Middle Ages generally have better teeth than us because they weren't eating so much sugar and artificially sweetened food?

Not specifically the Middle Ages, anyone outside of the Industrial Revolution (chronologically or physically) tended/tends to. You might have noticed animals don't brush their teeth either.

I highly doubt it people who's life expectancy was 30 had better teeth unless it was through dieing before they got a chance to use them.

I also notice they die in ditches at the side of the road, and live significantly longer when humans intervene with medical care and treatment. Your point doesn't make sense.

Okay.

Is that better? You couldn't infer those five words?

Archaeologists have found that people in prehistoric times by the age of 40 had generally wore their teeth down to flat stubs because of the very high fibre content and chewing on bones gristle and gritty vegetables, but on the other hand cavities and abbesses are virtually unheard of.

Tooth decay and infections are something that start to appear as we headed into the agricultural age once refined starch-rich foods become a significant part of the diet.

This. If you don't brush your teeth you too might end up dead in a ditch at the side of the road.

Just because you might have a better diet than a serf in the dark ages doesn't mean it's not bad. We all probably don't get the same amount of greens as back then - when's the last time you had a hearty pottage or made horse bread?

My point is human diets were 'never good' they were always a ham fisted 'good enough' our current health looks like it well on the way to powering quite probably millions of under 30s in the uk over the age of 100. Unless the implication is that we would live to be 200 if only we ate a bit more kale I fail to see what meaningful implications bad diet could mean that can't be patched with a few multivitamins.

If anything the biggest threat diet wise is that we eat too much not that we are eating the wrong things.

If anything thinks we've never had it so good they need to compare a bar of Cadburys now with what it was like before the takeover.

My original point was exactly that we need multivitamins. And no, on your broader point life expectancy evidently does vary wildly across the country demonstrating the continued importance of diet - this saying nothing of the years of good health.

>If anything the biggest threat diet wise is that we eat too much not that we are eating the wrong things.

People in this country have dry flaky lips and kidney stones because they don't drink enough water. This clear liquid being something that is piped into peoples homes.
74% of people have suboptimum amounts of Vitamin D with 24% outright deficient - symptoms include depression, hair loss and poor immune health. We have rising levels of rickets ffs.
