Do You Want Health

Posted by monica on July 11th, 2008 in How safe are Vitamins?

What do you think? Is an apple bought from the grocery store the same as an apple grown in your garden? Most of us are too busy to pay attention to more than a few things, and for the rest, we trust. We must. No time.

When it comes to food, we may have trusted too much. (Judging by the size and health of most of America.) The interests of big food today are not the interests of your body’s health. Compare:

Big Food value #1

Shelf life. Once-real food is now irradiated and subjected to extreme heat which kills all the vitamins and enzymes. The chemicals so distort the food molecules that they’re not usable by our bodies. But hey, it has shelf life and looks good.

Can your body survive big food’s value #1?

A body can’t process ’shelf-life’ food. It wants real food. Translation: Fresh. Clean. Not genetically mutilated. With its vitamins and nutrients intact. Available from local farmers in most cities in the US.

Natural Health Tip: For those who care a lot about their body and want to learn how to evaluate supplements, “ask, are your vitamins safe?”

So the headline published around the world said:

“Vitamins taken by around a third of the population do not extend life and may even cause premature death, according to a respected group of international scientists.

“After reviewing 67 studies involving more than 230,000 men and women, the experts say there is no convincing evidence that taking supplements of the antioxidant vitamins A, C and E can make you healthier.” More here.

We were as stunned as anyone else at the timing and impact of this huge report.

As you know from the “Are Your Vitamins Safe?” report, this is only the most recent in a growing number of studies finding that synthetic vitamins (either from a lab beaker or isolated from a plant or animal) are worthless or even risky for a significant number of people. How can this be?

Here’s a big reason:

These isolated synthetic vitamins are not absorbed and utilized properly by the body.

Natural Health Tip: That’s because - the ‘main vitamin’ ingredient, (e.g. A, E, C, etc.) which is extracted by synthetic vitamin makers, does not include the chemical cousins and other ingredients that main vitamin comes with in its natural form. Apparently, the body needs these “cofactors” to absorb the main vitamin.

It’s cheaper to extract just the main vitamin. Only it appears now that the resulting synthetic vitamins are useless or worse.

What’s the alternative? Today there is a new class of multis, whole food multis. They put the whole food in the supplement (minus water and fiber), rather than just the isolated main vitamin or mineral.

So that’s the story. Whole Food Nation, a new start up … making a difference and I’ll selling this stuff, makes one of these whole food multis. I’m telling you that - in case you’d like to try a month’s supply of these whole food multis at no cost. So you can compare it to your current synthetic vitamins, you know?

You can test this whole food multi free for a month. Go here: The Vitamin Exchange program.
