Are supplements necessary for those with excellent diets? Health advisors are

split on the importance of supplementation. Some believe that everyone should

consume many different types of individual supplements because food today is

less nutrient dense and we are exposed to much more stress and many more toxins

in the environment and in our food than in the past. Other health specialists

recommend a multivitamin at most for those with excellent diets. So what's the

answer?

It is my personal opinion, that in this day and age, some high quality

supplements are in order for us to achieve optimum health.  This was not true

100 years ago when food was real and fresh.  The quality of the air, water and

environment were more pristine.   The soil was not depleted of nutrients, and

filled with chemicals.  Pesticides and fertilizers were not common place, and

fruits and vegetables were not genetically engineered.

Hi- The term 'supplement' encompasses some strange bedfellows, vitamins,

minerals, metals and herbs. The 'War on Plants' is led by the FDA which passed

a regulation (in behalf of Big Pharma) that medicinal quality may not be

attributed to any plant. This became law.

Nevertheless, herbs were used as medicine and in cooking worldwide until

recently. Any Asian has a knowledge of plants and their properties that puts an

American to shame.

Vitamins are all strong acids. Vitamin C is before it neutralized before it

can do much by eating your alkaline forming elements sodium, potassium, calcium.

Vitamin B complex is abundant in small grains. Eat them. B12 is in miso and

seaweed.

Most calcium supplements lower serum calcium. Metals: Would you put aluminum

sauce on your spaghetti?

Many of the best medicinal herbs are claimed by the FDA to have no nutritional

value at all. This tells us more about the flaws of the 'Nutrition Information'

system than it tells us about plants.

Meat (96% of you eat it) causes deficiencies. Science tells us that an excess

in one amino acid will cause a deficiency in another. The amino acid profile in

a piece of beef is wildly uneven.

It's not that the quality of organic, non GMO food has deteriorated, the

problem is that the American diet leaves you defenseless to infection and other

diseases.

What is your idea of an 'excellent diet'?

That is a really good question. It is important to define what you consider a

" healthy diet " , but everyone is different. I've seen those on macrobiotic diets,

eat right for you diets, and so on - sometimes you need a little boost. Even if

you have to supplement for a certain reason (maybe you were near someone with a

cold so you use Astragulus to strengthen your immune system) doesn't mean that

you will need that supplement everyday for the rest of your life. In fact

supplementing everyday with the same herbs, vitamins, minerals may lead you

forming a resistance to their healing properties. I say don't supplement

needlessly - it requires you to pay attention to your body.

 

Be Healthy,

Melinda

the soil is less nutrient rich and is some places massivly so

factor

I was listening to Dr. Mark Hyman on a PBS special and he said you don't need a

multi-vitamin/mineral supplement if you only eat wild and /or organic non -GMO

food that has not been touched by pesticides, growth hormones, antibiotics and

grown(and fed) on food grown on virgin soil (or in an unpolluted sea) and you

live in an unpolluted place - no cars, machines, etc and have no stresses like

finances, work, children, politicial problems etc. and not subject to

electro-magentic fields or radiation, chemical spills,etc and have not had any

injuries.

 

So the answer is you might need a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement as

" insurance " since VERY few people live in the ideal area or eat the ideal diet.

Hi Vittoriio,

 

Since no one these days can get a " good " diet in our culture, and since

we all need even more vitamins and minerals just to deal with the

increased stress of the building amounts of pollution in our soil, our

air, and our water, literally everyone needs a good multivitamin

supplement.

 

That's not to mention that we primates do not make vitamin C in our

bodies like almost all other animals do. So, in this world of

increasing mineral pollution, mercury et al, we are not able to get rid

of this pollution as we should. So, we definitely need much more

Vitamin C than the RDA says. 75 mg is a joke that may just prevent

scurvy, but it's far from adequate for good health. A 150 lb ape in the

zoo with much the same metabolism as we other primates needs a minimum

of 4000 mg per day. What does that say?
