Synthetic vitamins have invaded the marketplace. Snooze alert - everyone knows that. However, what is NOT widely known is that new studies now prove conclusively that synthetic vitamins are NOT as good as All-Natural Vitamins made from Whole-Food sources. In fact, synthetic vitamins can even be DANGEROUS!
WHY SYNTHETIC VITAMINS ARE DANGEROUS In case you're not convinced that synthetic vitamins really are dangerous, allow me to give you two examples. Many more could be given, but these two will suffice.
1. THE DANGERS OF SYNTHETIC VITAMIN CThe synthetic form of Vitamin C is Ascorbic Acid. Ascorbic Acid can harm your body by thickening the arterial walls of your heart! Ascorbic Acid has invaded the marketplace. Beware!
2. THE DANGERS OF SYNTHETIC VITAMIN EAnother example is synthetic Vitamin E. Synthetic Vitamin E actually sucks vitamins and minerals right out of your bones. Synthetic Vitamin E has invaded the marketplace. Beware!Bottom line? There's no substitute for All-Natural Whole-Food Vitamins and Minerals. This is what nature intended. And it's not nice to fool Mother Nature! Your body requires everything from A to Zinc. Make certain the multi-vitamins you choose contain 100% of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) established. According to Taber's Medical Dictionary, vitamins are essential. They're indispensable for the maintenance of health. And The Journal of American Medical Association concluded that every individual should take a multi-vitamin every day.
Poor nutrition can lead to devastating consequences. Since it's extremely difficult in our topsy-turvy world to get all the essential nutrients your body needs strictly from your diet alone, I urge you to consider supplementing your diet with an all-natural multi-vitamin made from whole-food sources. Your body begins to pay the price as it tries to compensate for nutrient deficiencies. Don't treat your body as if it were invincible.
Don't be deluded by the false claims of synthetic vitamin companies. Your health is priceless. Give your body what it needs and deserves. Bottom line: getting the proper nutrients and micronutrients each day from whole-food sources is critical to maintaining good health.

Winning the War Against Diabetes - Prescription Drugs Versus Natural Solutions
Diabetes is the third leading cause of death in the USA. What's the solution? Should we put our faith in prescription drugs? Or is old-fashioned diet and exercise the answer?Feed Your Head - It's A (duh) "No-Brainer"
What is the cause and effect relationship between nutrition and mental health? Do so-called "Brain Food" supplements really work?Winning The War Against Aging
In the quest for eternal youth, Americans are investing heavily in the anti-aging industry, which is burgeoning with the promise of scientific breakthroughs that could turn back the clock on aging. From topical treatments to surgical interventions, the pursuit of youthfulness is a multi-million-dollar industry. Yet, beyond the cosmetic fixes, nutrition and natural supplements are emerging as powerful allies in this battle. With a focus on understanding the underlying causes of aging, such as oxidative stress from free radicals, and countering them with antioxidants, we may be closer than ever to a strategic plan for longevity.
