About number 13, are you sure about the 250 gram thing for a lifetime? according to the US RDA, 250 grams of vitamin C will get an adult about 11 years. 60 mg a day into 250,000 mg total vitamins per lifetime. if you add in minerals, don't forget about calciums 800 mgs a day.
Vitamins are cheap insurance. It is hard to get too many vitamins, but it is easy to get too few. Even if you are taking megadoses, you will generally just piss out the excess, whereas a vitamin deficiency is harder to detect. It is not as if your insurance company will pay for a blood work test just because you are not sure if you are deficient. So take your vitamins, and insure that you are not missing anything in your general diet. Besides, with the quality of food most people eat nowadays (especially myself), it can't hurt.
