Paul,

Most research shows that chromium does little, if anything, to lower

blood sugar. I am puzzled why your wife supports Centrum vitamins.

What's important is what's in a vitamin, not the brand. Vitamins are

vitamins, regardless if they are synthetic or natural. The body can't

tell the difference between the the two, let alone a brand. For

example, when doing a dumbbell curl, you could use a 10 pound dumbbell

or a 10 pound concrete block. You know the difference, but your

muscle doesn't. The muscle only "knows" that there is a ten pound

weight at the end of your arm.
