description: Most of us know nothing about vitamins. What's more what we think we know is harming both our personal nutrition and our national health. By focusing on vitamins at the expense of everything else we've become blind to the bigger picture: despite our belief that vitamins are an absolute good--and the more of them the better--vitamins are actually small and surprisingly mysterious pieces of a much larger nutritional puzzle. In Vitamania award-winning journalist Catherine Price offers a lucid and lively journey through our cherished yet misguided beliefs about vitamins and reveals a straightforward blessedly anxiety-free path to enjoyable eating and good health.
