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.

No, I'm quite happy to review evidence from respected medical journals because I have no problem taking a range of extra vitamins if it is demonstrated that I'm not getting what is needed from a good balanced diet. However, startling as it may seem, just like I don't get my facts about 9/11 from 9/11truthers.org (or whatever it's called), I don't get well supported medical information from alternative medical websites because, surprise, surprise, they aren't well-supported.

Do you realize how asleep you are?

Yes, yes, I'm asleep because I prefer to put my trust in the very best scientists who get published in the best medical journals rather than those who can only get published on alt med sites. How foolish I am.

Your posts are a nonsense. How about the possibility that the research you reference doesn't get published because it doesn't meet the standards required? Or do you think the entire medical establishment is working a grand conspiracy to deny the possibility that mega doses of vitamin supplements may have some beneficial effects? If it is clearly proven that they do and that taking X amount doesn't have any dangerous consequences, then exactly who loses? Unfortunately for you and your ilk, actual respected research on the issue has drawn rather different conclusions to the line you are peddling. To you that is a conspiracy, to the rest of us, it is called widely accepted scientific research.

Eh? What exactly is your argument? That I should rely on an alt med site ahead of the most respected med journals? I think you need to wake the fuck up and try and understand that your megadose vitamin spiel is seen as quackery by the overwhelming majority of doctors and nutrionists.

The article from the Atlantic is the dumbest thing you will ever read.

Only a total moron believes the shit they are shoveling.

Total hit piece on your health. You should be outraged.

Eat shit! 500 trillion flies can't be wrong!!!

They aren't! Fecal transplants are an excellent treatment not only for chronic digestive issues such as IBS/chronic gut infections but also for potentially life threatening acute gut infections. Now we just need to wait for a first-hand experience report here on patnet - who's it gonna be? ;)
