because here in america, we completely direspect food by processing it, manipulating it genetically, and then cooking it within an inch of its life. by the time it gets on your plate, it has little to no nutritional value. the supplements at least help to replenish “some” of what has been lost. we completely forget that the purpose of food is to nourish the body, not just what tastes good.

Listen to the tape “Dead doctors don’t lie”. It explains how mineral deficiency is controlled in animals and how it causes all kinds of diseases in humans. We are all very toxic, and medicine today is not meant to detoxify us but rather hide the side effects of being so toxic. Many natural things(aloe vera, mushrooms, leaves, juices , everything like that…) put your body back to balance so you don’t need an aspirin. Nobody I know is aspirin deficient, then why take them? because we are lead to believe that if we don’t, we are fools; and that if we don’t give medicine to our children, then we are bad parents. Don’t ask and spect an answer for your question. Read, educate yourself and you will find many things nobody wants you to know. Read the book “Natural cures they don’t want you to know” and “More natural cures they don’t want you to know”. Being healthy isn’t in anybody’s interests, so don’t spect a magic pill for your problem. Balance your body back to normal and enjoy a healthy life. Read. Read. Read.
The stuff is basically useless, except for fattening the wallets of its sellers. If you eat a balanced diet (and there is no reason not to), you will do fine.
They are “IN” because people nowadays are generally more educated and understand the needs or want to help the body stay in better shape to function optimally. Of course there are many benefits if the supplements work for those that take them and will not want to go back on poor health which they may have experienced before..
Most of us are also leading a much sedentary lifestyle with better spending powers on eating out..junk foods..which explains the increase of all kinds of sickness termed sickness of the affluent..
I believe in moderation of every food or supplement we take, and exercises and keeping an active lifestyle can’t be rule out to really enjoy optimal health..
Food supplements are important because of many factors. Today’s lifestyles include lots of processed, prepackaged and fast foods. Some essential nutrients are destroyed or are greatly reduced by processing. The fields that our crops are grown sometimes don’t have the nutrients that they once did. This is due to over-harvesting and lack of crop rotation. A good quality vitamin-mineral supplement should be taken daily.
Most food supplements are unnecessary at best, useless (or even dangerous) at worse.
Eating a well balanced, varied diet of fresh, unprocessed foods will do more than 99% of the supplements out there.
We live in a society that places too much emphasis on “quick fixes” and “exotic” solutions–a goldmine for the 21st century snakeoil salesman.
