No point in eating canned goods more than 5 years expired, all nutrition is lost by then.


In one famous study conducted in 1974, for example, National Food Processors Association scientists analyzed 40-year-old cans of corn that had been stored in a home basement in California. Experiments revealed that the “old” corn looked and smelled like newly canned corn and that it had retained most of its nutrients, although a few — such as vitamin C — were at lower levels.

I was only joking....but that's impressive. Sure storage conditions played a big part in it such as consistent temperatures, well that's really the only thing I can think of that would have an affect on a canned item.

most multivitamins are worthless to begin with so it doesn't really matter


For most Americans that get hardly any nutrients from their diets, some absorption is better than none.

Some studies have suggested multivitamins can raise one's risk of mortality. Unless your diet is really crappy, you get enough without supplementation.

No you won't die, but you will probably turn gay. Eat sparingly.
