VITAMIN WARNING! SOME SUPPLEMENTS CONTAIN HYDROGENATED OILS AS FILLERS

[Guest guest]

Vitamin warning! Some nutritional supplements use hydrogenated oils

as filler

The next time you buy soft-gel vitamins, you'd better take a look at

what's inside them. Would you be surprised if I told you that vitamin

companies are taking one of the most toxic food ingredients known to

mankind and putting it in soft gels as a filler? It's absolutely

true. You can find it in vitamins and supplements in health food

stores, grocery stores, price discount warehouse clubs, retailers and

pharmacies all over the country and around the world right now. What

toxic ingredient am I referring to? Partially hydrogenated soybean

oil.

Today, anyone who follows nutrition (see related ebook on nutrition)

knows that hydrogenated oils are extremely toxic. We know that, long-

term, they will lead to cardiovascular disease and heart attacks.

They can even encourage strokes. We know that they cause harm,

sometimes irreparable, to the nervous system. We know that they

interfere with the absorption of the essential fatty acids you need

to maintain healthy cells, a healthy nervous system, healthy blood

sugar regulation and many other functions.

 

 

Big Pharma manufactures vitamins, too

And yet, vitamin companies – the cheap ones – are taking this

ingredient and putting it in soft gels as filler. And that's not the

only ingredient they're putting in, either. Some vitamin companies

are taking artificial colors – that's right, chemicals extracted from

coal tar – and putting them in not only soft gels but in tablets and

capsules, too.

Now, why on earth would a vitamin company do this? The answer is

because some of these companies aren't at all interested in health.

In fact, the dirty little secret of the nutritional supplements

industry is that many of these companies are wholly or partially

owned by pharmaceutical companies, so these vitamin manufacturers

think they can standardize, process and manufacture vitamins in the

same way they manufacture prescription drugs (which is an entirely

unnatural process, by the way).

 

When companies manufacture prescription drugs, they really don't care

what goes into them as long as the active ingredient is there.

Prescription drugs, in addition to containing highly toxic chemicals

that are supposed to be medicinal, also contain highly toxic fillers,

colors and other additives that sometimes even counteract the

intended effect of the drug. When those pharmaceutical companies

decide to branch out into nutritional supplements because it's a hot

industry, they, of course, carry over these same manufacturing

practices to nutritional supplements. This is why you don't want to

get your supplements from these mega corporations that are actually

owned by Big Pharma. It's better to get something from smaller, more

passionate companies.

 

I don't necessarily mean " mom-and-pop " shops, but I mean companies

that are solely focused on health, even if they do happen to be

commercially successful. Companies like New Chapter, Nature's Way,

Now Foods, Garden of Life or Jay Robb Enterprises (which has

outstanding whey protein, soy protein and egg protein products).

These are a few of the many companies that seem to really care about

health and they avoid using toxic ingredients, whereas many other

supplement companies don't care at all what they put in there, as

long as they can claim something on the label.

 

 

What you see is not always what you get

When you're buying a soft gel capsule, you would normally think that

what goes inside that soft gel is what's stated on the label. It

makes sense, right? So if the label on that vitamin bottle

says " salmon oil, " and you take out a soft gel and look at it, you

would think it's filled with salmon oil, right? This is what most

people think. This is common sense. But in fact, it is incorrect.

You might be amazed to learn this, but that soft gel may not be

filled with salmon oil at all; it may have a miniscule amount of

salmon oil in it, but the rest of it is just filler. It could be

soybean oil, hydrogenated oils or some other form of filler. It could

be something that's actually dangerous to your health, so you'd

better read the ingredients labels on those vitamins, minerals and

supplements, in addition to reading the ingredients labels on foods,

as I've always recommended. Watch out! Just because you buy something

that looks good on the label – something that claims to have flax

oil, salmon oil or vitamin B in it – it doesn't mean it's actually

good for you.

 

 

How to put a negative spin on healthy vitamins: Use cheap vitamins to

skew results

Now, of course, researchers have also figured all this out. If I'm a

researcher in organized medicine and my mission is to discredit

vitamins, these are the vitamins I buy and use in my research. If I

wanted to ensure that I had a study saying vitamin E causes an

increase in heart attacks, you know how I would do it? I would buy

vitamin E soft-gel products that have hydrogenated soybean oil as

filler, so that I could be absolutely sure that this study would come

out showing an increase of heart attacks. Then, I could write a

headline that says, " Vitamin E Kills People! "

Following that study, if I were associated with the right school or

university or the right medical group, I could send out a press

release to all the newspapers around the country or around the world

and they would blindly print that headline. People would be all over

TV and radio talking about how vitamin E kills you.

 

How do I accomplish that? I just choose a soft gel container with

hydrogenated oils as the toxic filler ingredients because I, as an

evil researcher, know that these journalists are not going to ask

questions. No one's going to look at this study and see what the

other filler ingredients were. No one's going to do anything other

than reprint whatever I fax them. Why? Because I'm associated with a

medical school or a university, that's why. That's how it works out

there. That's the real world of nutritional supplements " research. "

 

Of course, none of that has anything to do with reality because, in

the real world, vitamin E is extremely healthy. It's very good for

you, even in higher doses than most people take, and it's found

naturally in nuts and seeds. Salmon oil is also very good for your

health in many ways; not just your heart health, but also for your

nervous system health, for stabilizing blood sugar and for providing

nutrition and lubrication to some of the cells, organs and tissues in

your body.

 

There are so many healthy products out there. It's just a shame when

these companies take healthy oils, vitamins and minerals and package

them in unhealthy containers. They package them in tablets, capsules

and soft gels that have other ingredients that will actually harm you

if you take them with enough frequency and duration.

 

 

Take your healthy vitamins correctly to see results

This is why I have consistently recommended that you get your

nutrition from eating whole foods, superfoods or nutritional

supplements made from whole food concentrates. Of course, there are

some nutrients that you can't get that way, like cod liver oil and

salmon oil, but there are companies out there that really care about

the quality of their oils and aren't going to give you garbage. In

terms of cod liver oils, one of my top recommendations is Nordic

Naturals. They will give you a quality product without a bunch of

harmful fillers.

 

The truth about calcium supplements

In terms of calcium supplements, I know that calcium is one of the

most common supplements out there and researchers have managed to

finagle a study that even shows calcium supplements aren't useful for

boosting the bone density of elderly patients. People are being told

that calcium is absolutely worthless if you don't digest it and

absorb it. So how do you do that?

Well, you certainly don't take it with an antacid. That's a

ridiculous way to get calcium. Calcium needs to have an acidic

environment in order to be broken down and assimilated by your

digestive system. If you don't have acid in your stomach, then you

can't absorb the calcium. And if you don't have vitamin D in your

small intestine, you can't absorb the calcium, either. There are a

lot of senior citizens out there who are spending small fortunes on

calcium supplements and antacid tablets, but they're not getting any

sunshine. And that means they're not getting enough vitamin D. With a

vitamin D deficiency, they can't even absorb the calcium. It's either

going right through their bodies or actually contributing to the

buildup of calcification in their kidneys. So guess what? They'll

probably end up with kidney stones.

 

When I was at a discount warehouse club recently, I was looking at

all these supplements – calcium, vitamin D, flax oil, cod liver oil

and so on – and reading the ingredient labels, and I could only find

one product that I would personally consume. Only one! I saw people

buying these vitamins by the basket-load, thinking they were doing

themselves some good. The only one I found that didn't have any

artificial ingredients or other garbage in it was organic flax oil.

Every other product offered was garbage, in my view. Nutritionally,

it was a disaster. I wouldn't feed those supplements to any person or

animal that I cared about.

 

So there you go. This is the nutritional supplement industry that a

lot of people see. I know that these particular supplements are from

the same manufacturers that you find making low-cost vitamins sold at

grocery stores and pharmacies. It's no wonder that some people have

such a dim view of the nutritional supplements industry. They take

these products and they feel worse.

 

Well, no wonder; you've just consumed toxic ingredients – not what

was in the label, but what was listed in the fine print of the

ingredients section. No wonder you feel worse; you're just eating

hydrogenated oils. You're actually taking them as a supplement. What

a foolish thing to do, but people do it every single day in this

country.

 

Lawmakers deserve a lot of blame and shame for allowing this to go

on, in my view. The fact that food manufacturers and vitamin

supplement manufacturers can put highly toxic, death-promoting,

disease-causing ingredients into your foods, products and supplements

and sell them to you without warning labels is absolutely

unconscionable. It's near criminal that they allow this to happen.

 

 

Failing to warn consumers about toxic vitamin fillers should be a

crime

Lawmakers have been asleep at the wheel. They've allowed food

companies to run the system. They've allowed drug companies and

nutritional supplement manufacturers to steamroll any attempt to

protect the public, and that's why all these dangerous, toxic,

disease-promoting ingredients are still perfectly legal.

The FDA seemingly continues to actually support these ingredients.

They haven't done enough to try to outlaw them. It seems that from

the FDA's point of view, getting tough means sending a wimpy warning

letter that says, " Oh, by the way, your ads are misleading people. "

To them, it means requiring trans fats to be listed on foods. Never

mind actually outlawing the ingredient.

 

In my opinion, the FDA should ban these ingredients. They should be

outlawed. It should be a crime to put a toxic substance into a food

product and sell it to a consumer. Shouldn't that be a crime? I mean,

if the world made sense, it would be a crime, especially now that we

know these ingredients promote disease. It's not even debatable

anymore. Heck, even the FDA finally has admitted it and is requiring

labels – warning labels, in a sense – that say, " Here's how many

grams of trans fat you have in this food. " That's a warning label,

folks. There is no nutritionist or doctor in his or her right mind

who would argue that these ingredients are safe for long-term human

consumption.

 

Yet every single day, we have consumers going into these discount

club warehouse stores, pharmacies, grocery stores and even health

food stores, buying these dangerous products, taking them home,

consuming them and thinking that they are doing themselves some good.

In fact, they are actually harming themselves. When I see this

situation, I genuinely fear for the future of this nation; I really

do. I'm not sure if we can ever get above water again, if we can ever

overpower the financial interests of big business that have allowed

this to happen (and have in fact lobbied for and defended it). It's

possible that we're going to spiral out of control into a health

collapse, where everybody is diseased from the moment they're born,

nutrition is nonexistent and everyone is financially beholden to this

system of pharmaceutical companies, doctors, hospitals and diagnostic

labs because they've been labeled with various diseases that could

have been solved or prevented by changing the food supply and

outlawing dangerous ingredients.

 

You want to know the funny part in all of this? Everything I've been

talking to you about, everything that I'm outraged about in this

particular commentary, was found in the " healthy " section of this

particular retailer. This was the health section, folks. This was the

stuff that's supposed to be good for you. The rest of that store was

just outright garbage – products loaded with sugars and artificial

colors, hydrogenated oils, high sodium, tons of preservatives

(literally, tons of preservatives), sodium nitrate – just all kinds

of unhealthy ingredients from top to bottom, stacked as high and as

far as the eye can see in this warehouse retailer.

 

 

Spread the word: Your neighbors' vitamins could be toxic

I believe we each have to do our part and stand up and speak the

truth. That's what I'm trying to do here. I'm telling everyone I meet

and everyone I know, " You've been conned. You've been scammed by the

system, by a bunch of manufacturers, a whole lot of big business and

a good dose of government corruption thrown in to protect the system

and make sure you never find out what is going on. You've been

scammed. "

The only way to beat the scam is to get outside the system – get

outside of conventional medicine, give up all these processed foods

and move over to a healthy lifestyle where you actually have

cognitive function and where you have mental awareness because you're

eating well. You're eating real food, not that processed,

manufactured garbage that passes for food in most peoples' homes in

the United States and everywhere around the world.

 

So if you have a friend or a family member who doesn't know about

this, and you'd like to either help them or annoy them (your pick),

tell them what's really in their vitamins. Show them: Pick up that

vitamin bottle out of their cabinet, refrigerator, purse or wherever

they happen to have it and point out that artificial color, that FD & C

Red No. 2, yellow dye or whatever it happens to be in that particular

vitamin. Point it out to them; show them the hydrogenated oils in

these vitamins. Point out the sucrose, the corn syrup, propylene

glycol or whatever else happens to be in there. Show them what

they're really consuming and then give them a better choice.

Introduce them to a health food store in your local community that

sells some quality products. Encourage them to go there if they

really want to take care of their health.

 

It's funny that people complain about how much money it costs to buy

nutritional supplements. Then, they go out and spend a few dollars on

vitamins that will actually make them sick. They think they're

getting a bargain. I say that you might as well spend your money on

cigarettes, you know? You might as well eat some fried chicken. If

you're going to spend $6 on a bottle of vitamins that are bad for

you, then skip the whole thing and just go eat some hamburgers at the

local fast food restaurant or some cookies from the grocery store. Of

course, I don't recommend that anyone do any of that. I recommend you

spend your money wisely on nutritional supplements, vitamins,

minerals, and herbs from passionate, honest companies you can trust.

 

Of course, they're going to be slightly more expensive, if not a lot

more expensive. But aren't you worth it? If you're going through the

trouble of taking these supplements, shouldn't you put the best thing

you can find into your body? Don't you deserve healthy supplements,

rather than supplements packaged with hydrogenated oils and other

poisons that are legalized by our system of corrupt government and

private industry? Shouldn't you deserve the very best? I think so.

Get the best and put that in your body. Be healthy. Thanks for
