The article I originally posted was merely about years of life lived, which a few preliminary studies have shown vitamins not to help, so far.

I recently was reading about the Scottish ship's doctor who in 1745 discovered that mariners were getting scurvy from not getting vitamin C. He started giving the sailors lime juice.(Brits have from then on been nicknamed limeys). The lime juice worked; and scurvy was banished from the British Navy from then on.
