I've read that OD'ing on vitamins is actually bad for you. Drug companies want everyone to take multivitamins to make $ for themselves but in most cases you're doing yourself more harm than good by taking them.

I think if you eat correctly you should never need them anyway.

i'm with you, i just took my 2nd multi of the day along with some baked chicken, wild rice and broccoli. i do not know if the studies will end up being right or wrong but as a result of learning about them, i believe i will try harder to consistently get my nutrients from a range of healthy foods and not rely on a pill.
