In most cases, we can get all the vitamins we need through a balanced diet. Vitamin A, for example, is found in orange produce,
such as sweet potatoes and carrots, and in deep green vegetables. Citrus fruits and juices are abundant sources of vitamin C. All
the vitamin A and D we need can be obtained from fortified dairy products. Vitamin B is plentiful in vegetables, legumes, nuts,
and whole-grain foods. Because many foods are fortified with vitamins, vitamin deficiencies are rare in our society, even among
people who don't watch their diets. That's no excuse for not eating right, however, since poor nutrition may deprive you of other
nutrients you may need to maintain your health.
