The vitamin and food supplement business has in the last few years grown into a multi-million pound industry. About 10 million people in Britain are thought to take the pills. “It is the result of increased health awareness,” Dr. Wendy Doyle said.
In addition, the industry has grown in marketing strength, carrying out large advertising sections in women’s, consumer and diet magazines. But fierce arguments and concern in the medical profession have also grown.
Doctors claim that the public could be damaging their health or making diagnosis（诊断） of serious conditions impossible.
No one doubts that supplements can have some benefits in some circumstances. But the industry claims that anyone who is old, stressed, smokes or drinks too much, is recovering from an illness or is doing lots of exercise----just about everyone---should take supplements.
Doctors say that for most people, most of the time, that’s simply not true. “You shouldn’t just rely on vitamin pills and not eat vegetables,” said Doyle.
Many doctors are alarmed at how often people are encouraged to take far in excess of the recommended daily amount.
At best, the excess vitamins, such as Vitamin B and Vitamin C, will get washed out of the body. But Vitamins A,D,E,K are stored in the liver, and large doses will probably build up.
There is growing evidence that excessive doses can result in considerable harm. For example, Vitamin E in large doses can lead to internal bleeding.
As there is little regulation of the health supplement industry in the UK, it is difficult to know how many people have been unfavorably affected.

We all lie. A recent poll by Gallup found that only 8 percent of people say they have never lied, while 25 percent of the people interviewed admitted they lie daily.
Integrity at work has now become a major issue. Today’s secretaries are increasingly expected to lie for other people---especially for the boss.
About 79 percent of support staff, according to one survey, were asked to invent the truth on behalf of their boss last year. These may be white lies such as “I’m afraid Mr. Jones is having a meeting.” More seriously, secretaries may be expected to give false information about expenses on the boss’s behalf. Christine Allan, the personal assistant to an oil company boss who went on

trial for fraud in 1999, claims that lying has become “standard practice” for secretaries in the City, London’s financial center.
Little wonder that support staff tired of this, says Richard Grace, who was in charge of the survey. “Our report found most secretaries believe that dishonesty can, in some circumstances, be justified in business life. But almost one third believe that being required not to be honest affects personal integrity.”
Being asked to lie for the boss can also affect pubic integrity---especially if you are called into the court. “If you are asked to tell serious lies,” one lawyers says, “and you do so, you can face more serious related problems for your actions than ever before”.
