Take lots of supplements and vitamins.....

When they eliminated the lower-quality studies and looked only at the most trustworthy ones, they actually found a higher risk of death for people taking vitamins: 4 percent for those taking vitamin E, 7 percent for beta carotene and 16 percent for vitamin A. The actual cause of death in most studies was unknown, however.

 

Those findings are based on an analysis of 47 studies involving 180,938 people who were randomly assigned to get real vitamins or dummy pills. Some involved superdoses far exceeding the recommended daily amount of the compounds; others involved normal doses.

i think this is pure horseshit, and having the headline read as it does will likely discourage people from supplementing with things they do need. this is another piece of irresponsible journalism from the washington compost.

 

"1992 Earth Summit Report found that mineral depletion of the soil is over 76% in Europe and 80% in the USA. "

 

the 74th congress in 1936 wrote "The alarming fact is that foods (fruits, vegetables and grains) now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contain enough of certain minerals are starving us - no matter how much of them we eat. No man of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his system with the minerals he requires for perfect health because his stomach isn't big enough to hold them".

 

farmers fertilize with nitrogen, phophorous, and potassium to make vegetables and grains grow...that's far short of the minerals needed by our bodies.

 

if not from supplements, where do we get what we need?

 

again, irresponsible and flawed, both the report by the tool and the study.

Disastrous mismanagement of our soil and intensive farming methods have created

such poor food quality that nutritional supplements are not a luxury but the bread and butter

of robust good health.

Are you an assistant manager of a GNC store or something?

no, it's just something of interest to me. we've become a fat, lazy society that costs too much to take care of from a health standpoint. a handful of vitamins and minerals every day would perk everyone up a bit.
