Guest guest Posted December 27, 2001 Report Share Posted December 27, 2001 Don't know if this has been posted before or by whom. http://www.thedoctorwithin.com/newwest/index1.html and click on " wholefood vitamins: ascorbic acid is not vitamin c " or if you are in a hurry: http://www.thedoctorwithin.com/newwest/index11.html An excerpt : With the vast outpouring of wrong information about vitamins A and C, the findings of a 1991 article in Health Counselor are no surprise: 50% of Americans are deficient in vitamin A and 41% are deficient in vitamin C. Synthetic vitamins cannot prevent deficiencies. FAKE VITAMIN B In one experiment, synthetic vitamin B (thiamine) was shown to render 100% of a group of pigs sterile! 100% would be considered a significant finding. (Dr. Barnett Sure, Journ Natr 1939) Perhaps the fact that synthetic vitamin B comes from coal tar, maybe that has something to do with it, you think? Then there's vitamin B12, which comes from activated sewage sludge. (Frost p 60) Been shooting blanks since you started on those multi's? For the licensed dieticians and clinical nutritionists reading this in disbelief because it is too " unscientific, " consider the way Theron Randolph MD delineated between natural and synthetic: " A synthetically derived substance may cause a reaction in a chemically susceptible person when the same material of natural origin is tolerated, despite the two substances having identical chemical structures. The point is illustrated by the frequency of clinical reactions to synthetic vitamins - especially vitamin B1 and C- when the [same] naturally occurring vitamins are tolerated.
