According to the 129-page annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers published in the journal Clinical Toxicology (Feb 2007), the National Poisoning and Exposure Database showed that there was not even one death cause by vitamins in 2005 yet dietary supplements are increasingly attacked and scrutinized.
