The overall sentiment combines cautious acknowledgment of some benefits (like folic acid improving stroke outcomes) with skepticism about general supplement usefulness, as exemplified by comments dismissing multivitamins and emphasizing natural food sources; discussions include references to specific research data, tone of evidence-based critique, and calls for prioritizing diet over supplements.
AgreementLow agreement
Most discussions highlight the lack of clear benefits from supplementation, with some recognizing certain benefits like folic acid for stroke, indicating general skepticism towards supplement efficacy.
InterestModerate interest
The variety of sources and comments, including references to specific studies and calls to learn more, show moderate curiosity and engagement with the topic.
EngagementModerate engagement
Participants cite specific data points, such as numbers needed to treat for folic acid, and debate supplements' risks versus benefits, demonstrating a meaningful level of discussion.
ImpactModerate impact
The conversations reflect awareness that these findings influence perceptions about supplement use and clinical practices, though they seem to reinforce existing skepticism rather than dramatically changing behaviors.
Abstract in brief
The authors conducted systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effects of various vitamins and minerals on cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and all-cause mortality.
The evidence found was generally of moderate or low quality, showing some benefits, such as folic acid for total CVD and B-vitamins for stroke, but no clear benefits for other supplements like multivitamins, vitamins C and D, and selenium, and some supplements may even pose risks.
Overall, the review concluded that there is no conclusive evidence that adding these supplements provides significant health benefits across different dietary backgrounds, and any potential benefits must be weighed against possible risks.

You get the idea. Anyway, it is true that just because something lowers LDL does not mean that it reduces all-cause or cardiovascular mortality.
For example, supplemental niacin does, but in fact seems to (slightly) increase mortality:

Yeah my grandma told me eat liver and carrots too, they are both high in Vitamin A.
Supplements are useless, need to eat real food to get desired effect

Folic acid helps for stroke and total CVD as well (NNT 167 and 111 respectively). B-Complex for stroke only (NNT 250).
