multivitamins have been proven to be useless.
Thought it was just that they were useless for most healthy adults with any diet short of nutritional deficiency.
yes, that's what we should be advocating for unhoused people, not wasting money on multivitamins. If we're already talking about giving them an apartment and counseling, I don't think a reasonable meal plan is much more to ask for. Especially if our aim is to get them back into a healthy lifestyle, healthy food should absolutely be part of that plan.
did you have an actual point? just citing random studies via google means nothing.

I was highlighting the fact that there's evidence for both answers

yes you can cherry pick studies to prove just about anything you want. you can find "scientific" studies that prove climate change is bogus too. there's a lot of crap science out there. look at meta-analyses and recommendations from trusted institutions like Johns Hopkins as I linked above which you clearly didn't read.

As previously stated there is evidence for and against.
yes there is “evidence” for and against literally everything. you have to put your thinking cap on and examine what that actually means.
