If you take supplements, register your vote now

The Food Standards Agency website (www.food.gov.uk) has a ‘poll’ on whether people take food supplements.

I have found that just 10 votes increased the ‘yes’ vote by 2 per cent. You may want to register a vote and ask your friends to do the same. It would be interesting if we got up to 99 per cent saying ‘yes’! - Christoper J. Whitehouse, London
