Nutrition experts contend that all we need is what's typically found in a routine diet. Industry representatives, backed by a fascinating history, argue that foods don't contain enough, and we need supplements. Fortunately, many excellent studies have now resolved the issue.

If someone was an employee at a teaching hospital, janitor security guard orderly or whatever, or even a patient at one, s/he was at a Medical School.

Why don't you just post up some evidence and then you can argue your point?

find it yourself or not, just go eat GMO and spray your food with Glysophate, it's all good.

Vitamins are bad. umkay!

What you think is real, is only your self delusion!

27   puhim   2013 Jul 20, 9:37am  

So idiots who don't think Vitamins do shit, should we tell your pregnant wives not to take prenatal Vitamins?

Idiots!

Feel that, that's your pride fucking with you!

Vitamin Supplements 100% work.

What the fuck do you think they feed Astronauts? Super Vitamins...that's what

Give yourself a blood test and check for yourself.

You don't need strangers telling you what is right and wrong, find out for yourselves.

You're not kidding! That's why we buy'em, and take'm - in the food we eat. Worked for almost all of our ancestors (yours too!).

Just wondering about the prenatals- would they be effective for all pregnant women or only those who are wives?

Sure, that was before the Agro business was taken over by Chemical manufacturers

Today's food is stripped of it's original vitamins and it's then added back, which does nothing.

Simply why America has the FATTEST POOR People outside of Mexico in the entire WORLD!! The food they eat contains zero NUTRITION!

It's nothing more than a bunch of chemicals that might as well be cardboard.

Today's food does not look anything like food from yesteryear starting from about 1995.

Claiming that food has not changed is delusional!

Our food will be unrecognizable in 100 years thanks to Monsanto and Dow

Wow, I never knew that about milk being lactose intolerant. Thank you for your breath taking insight. And exactly who said vitamins were bad? The point is that a good diet doesn't need to be supplemented by a mountain of vitamin pills.

S/he's using parody to emphasize the point that we're just not so Hip and Clever to do in that manner.

Right. So you are anti-establishment if you take vitamin supplements? That must explain all the adverts and rows and rows of them in supermarkets and pharmacies. Rebellious stuff indeed.

If someone was an employee at a teaching hospital, janitor security guard orderly or whatever, or even a patient at one, s/he was at a Medical School.

If I had to guess, I'd say Bigsby and puhim are sitting around at an outdoor cafe somewhere by Cannery Row having fun with putting one over on us while they're getting their nourishment from some pitchers and consuming some vitamins in their tapas.

But puhim is more clever (and so also more effective) than Bigsby (or me) at making tovarichpeter's original point!

Why do you think they sell Vitamins at a Supermarket in the first place? Shouldn't the food have it?

Hmm Paul Offit wrote the article.

This is an interesting report on Paul Offit July 25, 2008

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-500690_162-4296175.html

Paul Offit responds to Sharyl Attkisson immediately in 2008.....most of the response was retracted due to discrepancies in his attack of Attkisson

Orange county register publishes retraction of Offit's response......3 years later when people forgot about it.

http://www.ocregister.com/articles/correction-296910-dated-entitled.html

Unsubstantiated statements include: Offit’s claim that Attkisson “lied”; and Offit’s claim that CBS News sent a “mean spirited and vituperative” email “over the signature of Sharyl Attkisson” stating “You’re clearly hiding something.” In fact, the OC Register has no evidence to support those claims. Further, Offit told the OC Register that he provided CBS News “the details of his relationship, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s relationship, with pharmaceutical company Merck.” However, documents provided by CBS News indicate Offit did not disclose his financial relationships with Merck, including a $1.5 million Hilleman chair he sits in that is co-sponsored by Merck. According to the CBS News’ documentation recently reviewed by the OC Register, the network requested (but Offit did not disclose) the entire profile of his professional financial relationships with pharmaceutical companies including: The amount of compensation he’d received from which companies in speaking fees; and pharmaceutical consulting relationships and fees. The CBS News documentation indicates Offit also did not disclose his share of past and future royalties for the Merck vaccine he co-invented. To the extent that unsubstantiated and/or false claims appeared in the OC Register and have been repeated by other organizations and individuals, the OC Register wishes to express this clarification for their reference and for the record.

I find it hilarious that those pre-programmed fools try to bash me by saying I know nothing about Food or Vitamins since I am no Dr. LMFAO!!!

Idiots.

Seriously you idiots need to share a brain!

Dr's don't know shit about nutrition.

When a Dr needs information about food he will ask a NUTRITIONIST!

If you need some drugs then ask a Dr.

Only a Dr's knows anything so you shouldn't talk about these things !!! Seriously wow!!! CRAZY !

They sell them because they make the companies a substantial profit or did you think they did it for charitable purposes?

61   MMR   2013 Jul 20, 11:16am  

The guy basically implied that Linus Pauling wife died due to vitamin C poisoning while failing to point out that Dr. Pauling lived until he was 94 years of age.

In May 1980, during an interview at Oregon State University, Linus Pauling was asked, "Does vitamin C have any side effects on long-term use of, let's say, gram quantities?" Pauling's answer was quick and decisive. "No," he replied.

Seven months later, his wife was dead of stomach cancer. In 1994, Linus Pauling died of prostate cancer.

62   puhim   2013 Jul 20, 11:18am

Pauling died of prostate cancer.

Maybe it was from Fish OIL supplements! That's the latest claim!

Which is bigger Pharmaceutical industry or the Vitamin industry?

Which is known to be totally insidious and regularly spreads misinformation? Here's a hint not the Vitamin business!

Dumbass!
