Vitamin and supplement info in an interactive graph

I'm glad graphic artists are exploring new ways to convey information in charts. Sometimes the new ways are just confusing and actually worse at conveying the data than a simple bar chart. But sometimes, they come up something that works just amazingly well, like this one, courtesy of Information is Beautiful: http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/play/snake-oil-supplements/

Even better, it's interactive, with links to take you to more information about each bubble.
