Passage 1

1

Vitamins are a group of substances found in food. The body needs them for life and health. So naturally, many people are concerned with the

question: Am I getting enough vitamins, and am I getting the right kind

to be needed with the possible exception of vitamin D. The problem is that there are many people who don’t choose foods wisely, don’t get enough

proper food. In fact, many of the vitamins can not be stored in the body, so when extra vitamins are taken in, the body simply gets rid of them. It is

even harmful to put too much of certain vitamins into the body. This has been found to be true of vitamin A and D, when large amounts are taken in.
