ZERO Deaths from Vitamins: 36th Annual Report from American Association of Poison Control Centers
NO DEATHS FROM VITAMINS. None.
Supplement Safety Confirmed by America’s Largest Database

(OMNS December 16, 2019) The 36th annual report from the American Association of Poison Control Centers shows zero deaths from any vitamin. Supporting data is in Table 22B, p 1412-1413, at the very end of the report published in Clinical Toxicology. [1] It is interesting that it is so quietly placed way back there where nary a news reporter is likely to see it.
But wait, there’s more:
- The AAPCC report shows no deaths from any dietary mineral supplement.
- There were no fatalities from amino acids, creatine, blue-green algae, glucosamine, or chondroitin.
- There were no deaths from herbs. This means no deaths at all from blue cohosh, echinacea, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, kava kava, St. John’s wort, valerian, yohimbe, ma huang/ephedra, guarana, kola nut, or yerba mate. And, there were no deaths from energy drinks. While the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service considers a number of these items to be improperly classified as dietary supplements, they are nonetheless specified by AAPCC as causing zero fatalities.
- There were no deaths from any homeopathic remedy, Asian medicine, Hispanic medicine, or Ayurvedic medicine. None.
On page 1407, a single death is attributed to an “Unknown Cultural Medicine” and five fatalities are alleged to have been caused by some “Unknown Dietary Supplements or Homeopathic Agents.” The obvious uncertainly of such listings diminishes any claim of validity. Something caused those six deaths, but investigators simply have no idea what it was. So they blame a supplement or natural remedy. It is a bit like a homicide detective telling a judge that murders were committed by either a man, or a woman, or an animal, using perhaps a knife, gun or claws. Few magistrates would issue warrants accordingly.
Throughout the entire year, coast to coast across the entire USA, there was not one single death from a vitamin, mineral or any other nutritional supplement. If supplements are allegedly so “dangerous,” as the FDA, the news media, and even some physicians still claim, then where are the bodies?

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
