Vitamin Effect
On Rody Toxin
A University scientist who
claims his "curves went the
wrong way," reported research
iindings Monday that indicate
the body's ability to use up cer
tain toxic substances may be
hampered by an excess of vita
mins.
Dr William O Caster. Uni
versity nutritionist, said he
thought the curve would go up
the more vitamins, the greater
the detoxification.
His work disproved the old
wives tale "the body sluffs
off vitamins it doesn't use
Caster's findings were reported
to this week's annual meeting
of the Federation of American
