Plan for free vitamins for mothers and children

Friday, March 26th, 2010

An interesting pilot scheme has been proposed in Cardiff, offering free supplements to mothers and children – see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/8585433.stm.

This goes against the current dogma of the medical profession that supplements are unnecessary and that you can get everything you need from a balanced diet. If this scheme goes ahead it will be interesting to see what the health statistics for kids health in Cardiff look like in a few years time!
