A study in 2009 actually claims that multivitamins don’t help prevent chronic illness. They study also proved that vitamins do not protect you from heart disease and lung, breast, and colon cancer.

It seems very counterintuitive to give a heroine addict heroine. In Vancouver they created safe called Insite.

If people can go and freely get heroine then what is stopping addicts from continuing their addiction. Feeding heroine to addicts everyday is just as dangerous to their bodies as it is the risk of overdosing.
