I got into an argument with some likely-malnourished guy today about how vitamin supplements are borderline-necessary to keep yourself healthy these days. He told me the title quote.
He then sent me this study--don't worry, it's archived--and I naturally started looking for who FUNDED the study.
Well, blow me down, it was the Canadian government. Nope, can't say anything that endangers the gravy train of government grants, no sir!
Obviously, that was all I needed to dismiss it. Truck Fudeau. He took that as surrender. Truck him too.
But whatever, I thought I'd vent some steam a little, because remember: 97% of all scientists agree with who writes the checks.
You do piss out what your body does not need.This is good.
If you are eating healthy foods (well rounded diet) and not all junk food or processed meals then you should be getting many of the vitamins you need... but not all.
Due to mass scale agriculture processes, not rotating crops, turning soil, using excess chemical fertilizers; even eating healthy foods does not provide us with all the vitamins and minerals we truly need.
Supplements are necessary! Even more so for people living off junk!
