Do vitamins break a fast?

There is some debate on whether or not vitamins break a fast. Some people believe that they do not because they are not a food and do not contain calories.

If your goal is losing weight, I don’t see any issue with consuming vitamins during your fast. In fact I promote that you do consume vitamins.
