Product Information

"Vitamania "is the startling story of America s devotion to vitamins and how it keeps us from good health. Health-conscious Americans seek out vitamins any way they can, whether in a morning glass of orange juice, a piece of vitamin-enriched bread, or a daily multivitamin. We believe that vitamins are always beneficial and that the more we can get, the better yet despite this familiarity, few of us could explain what vitamins actually are. Instead, we outsource our questions to experts and interpret vitamin as shorthand for health. What we don t realize is that the experts themselves are surprisingly short on answers. Yes, we need vitamins; without them, we would die. Yet despite a century of scientific research (the word vitamin was coined only in 1912), there is little consensus around even the simplest of questions, whether it s exactly how much we each require or what these thirteen dietary chemicals actually do. The one thing that experts do agree upon is that the best way to get our nutrients is in the foods that naturally contain them, which have countless chemicals beyond vitamins that may be beneficial. But thanks to our love of processed foods (whose natural vitamins and other chemicals have often been removed or destroyed), this is exactly what most of us are not doing. Instead, we allow marketers to use the addition of synthetic vitamins to blind us to what else in food we might be missing, leading us to accept as healthy products that we might (and should) otherwise reject. Grounded in history but firmly oriented toward the future, "Vitamania" reveals the surprising story of how our embrace of vitamins led to today s Wild West of dietary supplements and investigates the complicated psychological relationship we ve developed with these thirteen mysterious chemicals. In so doing, "Vitamania" both demolishes many of our society s most cherished myths about nutrition and challenges us to reevaluate our own beliefs. Impressively researched, counterintuitive, and engaging, "Vitamania" won t just change the way you think about vitamins it will change the way you think about food."

Reviews
A commanding, meticulously documented, and riling exposé rich in dramatic and absurd science and advertising history, lively profiles, and intrepid, eyebrow-raising fieldwork...Price's sharp wit, skillful, and vivid translation of science into story and valiant inquisitiveness (she insists on tasting synthetic vitamins and gets buzzed on the military's caffeinated meat sticks) make for an electrifying dissection of our vitamin habit in contrast to our irrevocable need for naturally nutrient-rich food., This entertaining and informative book traces the history of vitamins and nutritional diseases. It also examines the contemporary emphasis on diet and nutrition that leads people to spend millions of dollars on supplements and enriched foods even though the best way to obtain nutrients is from wholly unprocessed foods...The author offers copious notes to support her research...Readers interested in health, and those who enjoy Marion Nestle's books will want to read this work. An excellent addition to collections in public and consumer health libraries., A catchy title thatcaptures our obsession with vitamins and our belief that getting plenty of themwill ensure our good health...The reading is easy, and the message is clear andsignificant., [Price's] investigation, full of scurvy-ridden sailors, questionable nutritional supplements, and solid science, is both entertaining and enlightening., Catherine Price gives us a journalist'sentertaining romp through the fascinating history of the discovery of vitaminsand their use and marketing as objects of health obsession. Faith in vitamins,she advises, should be tempered by scientific uncertainty and dietary complexityand the understanding that foods are better sources than pills., Catherine Pricetraces the long history of America's love affair with vitamins. 'We allow ourcapacity for rational thought to be hijacked by a word,' Price writes, assumingthat anything labeled as a vitamin makes us healthier. The reality: they onlywork if you're deficient to begin with, which is rare in the US. While Price'sprescription--get your nutrients from natural foods--isn't revolutionary, her chillingresearch about the barely regulated supplements marketplace will likely haveyou rethinking your morning multivitamin., This lively investigational work...raises important questions about both supplements and vitamins, and if our government isn't asking them, at the very least, consumers must.
