that is definitely true for a handful of the stuff in multivitamins, but it doesn't really mean that you shouldn't take them either, they do have some things in them that do get absorbed and will only help supplement a healthy balanced diet.
getting most of it from fresh food and vegetables is obviously a better substitute when possible though, but that is hardly news to anyone i'm sure ;)
