Re: Doctors Say Vitamins are Safe and Effective

The other side of the coin is that it is virtually impossible to design and use a 2000 to 2500 calorie diet which contains even all of the minimal RDA amounts of nutrients on a daily basis, much less the optimum daily amounts.  I have challenged people on various boards time and again to come up with such a diet in a one week plan and thus far no one has been able to even come close.  And then there is the issue of addressing nutrional deficiencies through diet alone.

Certainly, getting all the nutrition one needs from nutrient dense whole food sources is the best way to go - but even then one likely needs some supplementation with items such as supergreen food powders, juicing and/or all around whole foods derived nutritional products.  What I do not advocate in the least is using supplements which are synthetics (such as the coal tar petro chemical vitamins) and crushed rock minerals.
