Sandy's right about the beta carotene thing. I remember when, not too long ago, the health food stores were pushing that.
Some well meaning doctors don't do their fact checking either. My MO suggested I take colloidal silver for mouth sores - It would have permanently dyed my skin grey.
Didn't Penn & Teller do a show on this?
