Vitamins & supplements?

The sad truth to you vitamin pill poppers is that there is very little benefit in taking them. In our culture we get just about every thing the body needs from eating what we eat. Our food here in the west, even when we eat so called junk food, has a great deal of nutrients.Mive doses of vitamins and or supplements are really not beneficial at all, in fact can be quite dangerous. Let me give a few examples. Well known hamburger, has bread which contains vitamins and some fibre, meat equals protein and other vitamins and minerals, the salad that they put in it also contains vitamins and minerals. Take a bowl of chili, all the goodness of the beans and the meat both stuffed full of vitamins and minerals. The cornflakes that you had for breakfast, all the manufacturers fortify them.Now before this column is taken up by all the nutritionists out there trying to beat me up, I am not suggesting that you live on burgers, I am just giving examples of how well we eat in our society and if we eat a normal balanced diet, we get all we need from our food.
