I agree, Amar. We waste our money on vitamins and play into the hands of

pharmaceutical companies.

 

There are studies now that show that added vitamins can even be harmful. With

vitamins freely available, the body gets lazy and loses the ability to extract

vitamins from the food we eat. If you think your body needs one or more of

certain vitamins it would be better to find out which foods contain these

vitamins and eat some of them.

 

Omega 3 is the flavour of the month here (and there it seems) There is a big

promotion for Fish oil and Flax seed oil, but there are other foods that contain

omega 3, like walnuts, soybeans, navy beans, kidney beans, tofu but those don't

get a mention ..... because pharmaceutical companies can't make a profit from

them. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient & dbid=84

 

Harry,

now steps off soapbox.

 

You are 100% right. We simply waste our money on multivitamins tabs

and forget what is available to us in our garden. You sit in sun and

get vit D. You eat green you get natural vitamins.We arw not

fighting a losing battle. You will be surprised that I do not even

drink Milk as I concider it a non veg product.And I am 68 fit like

any thing.

I heard a visiting US author being interviewed about a book he had written. I

don't remember his name or the title of the book but he attributed the worldwide

obesity epidemic to overuse of fructose.

 

One of the characteristics of fructose is that it disables the section of the

brain that tells us we have eaten enough, so we keep on feeling hungry. The

western world produces about double the amount of food it needs so food

companies add fructose to their food so we eat more. He said none us should ever

drink fruit juice because of the massive dose of fructose we get.

 

Interesting regarding fructose
