It seems counterintuitive that multivitamins that are use to improve one’s health can possibly be causing more harm than benefit to an individual.
Vitamins companies release numerous of vitamin products a year, with having about 1/3 of the population in the US take multivitamins regularly, according to the National Institutes Health. Many of the food products that customers buy at the supermarket are already filled with enough vitamin for an average person, so it’s not necessary to take vitamin pills daily. Their is a possibility of exceeding your daily required vitamin consumption that can be dangerous if it’s consistently done. What most vitamins sellers hide is the health risks their vitamin products have on individuals. Since not all companies policies will properly labels their products, individuals can blindly exceed their daily limits of certain vitamins that could potentially cause serious health problems. It’s mostly recommended by federal health officials that multivitamins are for anorexics or individuals whose diet is low in vitamins. For those individuals, a doctor consultation would best assist people in providing the vitamins needed in their diet.
2. Can Paper Be More Environmentally Friendly Than We Think?
It seems counterintuitive that individuals will recycle paper to improve the environment when paper doesn’t conceal enough carbon dioxide long term to be beneficial to the environment.
Paper are produced by trees that are used in everyone’s daily life and then recycle to be use once again. Even though trees will intake both carbon dioxide and water to release their waste product oxygen, unlike paper, trees will hold on this carbon for a long time. Paper however can only store carbon for less than 3 years because it degrades too quickly. Although citizens might argue that paper is a renewable resource that can still be recycle to benefit the environment, it doesn’t take away the countless amount of paper that get stuck in landfill that it is broken down into methane. All these does is release carbon back into the atmosphere, damaging our environment.
3. Does captions make a difference?
It seems counterintuitive that the media can use the same picture but have a different caption that can alter how people view that image.
An image was captured from Tyre, southern Lebanon of an apartment being destructed by Israeli air strikes. In this image a child’s toy is on the ground along with broken glass that was shattered from the windows. The same image is used in photojournalism article, as well as an Anti-Israel Propaganda and an Anti-Hezbollah Propaganda. Despite the image being the same for every media platform, they hold a different meaning behind it. In a photojournalism article it states the event that occur in Tyre. While in the Anti-Israel Propaganda it might claim that the Israeli Defense Force use this tactic as a way to target to civilians of southern Lebanon. While in the Anti-Hezbollah Propaganda it might announce that this was a tactic of Hezbollah to use their citizens as human shields. Hence the photograph could very well be the same however the choice of words that are used to display any type of media can alter the individual’s reaction to whichever caption they see first. Therefore, the words we choose to represent an image can all depend how a person interprets it, even if the photo is identical or the same.

Counterintuitive Spring 2023 
Are these good purposeful summaries? If not, how can I improve my purposeful summaries to improve my grade?

The answer to your general question, “Are these good purposeful summaries?” is different for each. For the most part they’re OK, but of course you’d like them to be well above average, InspireAngels. Let’s see if I can help.
It seems counterintuitive that multivitamins that are use to improve one’s health can possibly be causing more harm than benefit to an individual.
—That’s a good, clear, counterintuitive observation.
Vitamins companies release numerous of vitamin products a year, with having about 1/3 of the population in the US take multivitamins regularly, according to the National Institutes Health.
—We don’t need to know how many products are available, but your observation that 1/3 of us take multivitamins is a good detail to establish the size of the study.
Many supermarket shelves are filled with fortified products for their customers, so the possibility of exceeding your daily required vitamin consumption is not difficult but can be dangerous if it’s consistently done.
—Most readers will think you mean “vitamin supplements” by “fortified products,” so they’ll miss the point.
—What you mean is that so many grocery store items “already contain added vitamins” that Americans for the most part don’t need a vitamin pill every day.
—Your sentence is hard to understand. “is not difficult but can be dangerous” sounds as if you’re suggesting we try it, but cautioning us not to, but only if we’re going to try it consistently. All three claims should warn us NOT TO.
With this being said, vitamin users, actually get more of their vitamins from just food alone than the vitamins they intake.
—If you establish that we get more vitamins than we need from a diet of “fortified foods,” you don’t need this sentence at all.
What most vitamins sellers won’t tell you is the health risks their vitamin products have on individuals.
—That’s a good, clear, counterintuitive observation. It could be stronger with a more robust verb: “What most vitamin sellers HIDE from customers are the health risks of taking their products.”
Since not all companies policies will properly labels their products, individuals can upper their daily limits of certain vitamins that could potentially cause serious health problems.
—“upper their daily limits” is VERY UNCLEAR. It could mean: they can safely exceed the upper limits. What you really mean is more straightforward: “unwary individuals can DANGEROUSLY EXCEED the upper daily limits.”
It’s mostly recommended by federal health officials that multivitamins are for anorexics or individuals who have a low deficiency of vitamins.
—That’s a good observation. But “a low deficiency” is weird. Both words mean low. You could say “whose diet is low in vitamins.” Or “whose diet is vitamin-deficient.”
Nevertheless, a doctor consultation would best assist an individual in whether or not the vitamins they want to consume will benefit them or cause health risks for the future.
—That’s a good observation. But “nevertheless” is confusing; it sounds like you want to contradict the prior sentence, but you don’t. You could say: “For those individuals, a doctor will prescribe a vitamin supplement if one is needed.”
Maybe those Notes will help you revise your other Summaries, IA. Or maybe they’re just overwhelming. Please Reply to keep this conversation going and guide me better to the sort of Feedback that you’d find most helpful.

Can’t get A with all the little grammar errors, but the summaries themselves are much better.
