Food Is the Only Nutritional.
I know this will fly in the face of all the chemical vitamin companies and I will likely hear about it but what else is new?
Let’s get right down to brass tacks. Nutritional supplements that are not directly from nature are of little or no value to you. They may in fact be harming your health rather than improving it.
I have a rule that I follow. Yes…I know another rule but this one works really well. It’s called the caveman rule: If you can’t pick it off a tree or a bush, spear it out of the ocean, pull it up out of the ground or chase it down and kill it – DON’T EAT IT!
Yes, I know it’s a simple rule but it’s effective.
This rule applies to your supplements as well. If it doesn’t come from a bush, tree, plant, animal, the sea, a creek, a lake or the earth don’t eat/use it.
The majority of what’s purported to be vitamins and nutritionals are nothing more than ground up rocks, petroleum by products and coal tar derivatives. They do not come from food, they are not food and they should not be used by you as a food supplement.
Your supplements must be left in their most raw and unprocessed form to be effective. Man is not smarter than nature and cannot make a better mousetrap no matter what the magazine ad or television commercial said.
Did you know that one of the largest producers of film for cameras, packing tape and plastic films such as plastic food film/wrap uses their leftover petrochemicals from making these plastics to make vitamins?
And did you know that they are the 2nd largest vitamin manufacturer in the USA?
And did you know they are the supplier for nearly every vitamin company “brand” sold in the USA?
Yes, it’s true! Nearly all of the so called nutritional companies buy their raw materials from the same source. The only thing that makes these companies different from one and another is their marketing. Yes, their salesmanship to get you to part with your cash and their label is the only real difference for most of them.
Yes, they skew their position and tell you why their formula is better or their product X is better but they are nearly all the same. They use chemicals in their products and tell you it’s good for you.
Like I said, I know this will light up some folks who sell that stuff and I will likely get a little fewer Christmas cards but someone needs to lay it out on the line and tell you the truth.
If it’s not real food, it can’t give you real health!
To your health,
Patrick
