Answer 2

Opinions differ.  Vitamin A is found in many vegetables, and is good for vision, among other things.  Of the B vitamins, B1, B2, B3, B6, and B12 have been generally recognized as useful.  Vitamin C prevents a deficiency disease called scurvy; it is found in citrus fruits.  Vitamin D is produced by sunlight, and is often added to milk.  Other vitamins have been named, but not universally recognized as useful.
