Summary

Many health claims are made about vitamins and minerals, and the claims made in commercials and the internet confuse as much as they clarify. The Goldsteins discuss what vitamins and minerals do for your body, and then explain the Recommended Daily Allowances (RDAs). They then provide an A-Z examination of, first the minerals from Boron to Sodium, and then the vitamins from A to Zinc
