Is vitamin supplementation a scam?

We Answered:

I'm a bigger fan of food over vitamins any day.

However, right off the bat....

If the study was funded by a vitamin company, wouldnt have they had an interest in finding in favor of the vitamins?

If the Womens Health Initiative were a study funded by Big Pharma, why would they have found that hormone replacement therapy is bad for menopausal women - since after all, Big Pharma could have made-oh-so-very-much from finding the opposite, or that contraceptive pills and smoking leads to increased risk of death from clots?.

The WHI is funded by the National Lung, Heart and Blood Institute. Since you don't know much about them, they spend most of their time (and dime) on preventative medicine....This is there most famous study

http://www.framinghamheartstudy.org/

and from that, we know there is a relationship between soft drink intake, and bone density, between exercise and bone density, exercise and breast cancer, etc, etc....not to mention, played an important role in our understanding health and the human genome.

I'm not getting into the vitamin debate - but I'll defend the Institute that has been saving lives since 1948

Have fun the rest of the discussion. Thanks for letting me drop in.
Be well all

Do illegals immigrants care they are hurting their own counties too?

We Answered:

many villages are like American housing projects. No male role model, free money coming in. Gangs. Easy living, why work to better your world. And our sanctuary cities and the liberal illegal-huggers, they only perpetuate the problem.

What do you think is the most nutritious fruit and vegetable in the whole world?

We Answered:

Perhaps it would be Spirulina which is one of the green super foods that also include Chlorella, Barley Grass, Wheatgrass and Alfalfa.

Spirulina is rich in complete protein, beta carotenes (vitamin A precursor), vitamin B12, chlorophyll and iron as well as antioxidants, enzymes, amino acids, minerals and vitamins.

Is it possible that many people who are normally considered to be "full of crap" are actually narcissists?

We Answered:

Sounds like a classic example.

Ana Said:

Do you think humans are predatory? And how do I get a vegan friend off my case?

We Answered:

Humans are predators, for every reason you listed. Even when vegetarians get in accidents that cause a lot of damage to their bodies, doctors make them eat meat so they can heal and recover quickly. There aren't enough vitamins and minerals in plants to sustain humans, which is why supplements are necessary for vegans and vegetarians.

Besides, if she's anemic, the last thing she should do is be relying on plants for her iron intake. Only 5-15% of iron in plants is available to use for the human body, while 45% of the iron in meat is able to use.

I'm not sure how you get her to back off, but if she won't even accept that you want to avoid the conversation and lectures you anyway, I would get pretty sick of it and have to ditch her. I know that sounds heartless, but clearly she doesn't respect your lifestyle and your choices. Especially if she knows nothing about biology and nutrition...
