Azcentral sorry for …
Azcentral sorry for the misunderstanding. Aside from that, yes people do benefit from supplimentation, however the underlining cause of all this is not addressed. The medical industry like many other industry are so focused or purposedly focused on symptoms rather than cause. Thus the cycle repeats itself, where in natural medicine, we have the cure to virtually all disease, but the dominant western medicine have always put their thumbs down. More regulation is not the solution.

hyubgaek, I was putting clubtour – not you – in the 71% in the video who choose to believe in…what they believe, regardless of those nasty things called facts.
I think you are agreeing with Dr. Hughes (and I agree ) – food is the best source for required nutrients.
Having said that, there are people who do benefit from supplimentation; for instance – medical conditions.
There should be more regulation to protect those who just don’t take the time like you to do the homework.

AZcentralsurprise, please refrain from putting me in a group of people, let alone stop commenting to me if you are going to play word games like that. The comment I have made is based on my own research. Lets stick to the topic, specifically vitamins. Go to the supermarket and read the label, on how the hard pill was formed. Now I’m not saying there are legitimate companies, but most of the stuff you buy are crap, and seldom produce the results they advertise.

Yesterday I posted a comment where I wrote that Dr. Hughes didn’t come off as someone thoroughly familiar with the field on which she is lecturing, and I related it to information I have in the past received from the Life Extension Foundation which I rate as superb when it comes to succinct as well as comprehensive information on nutrition and dietary supplements. As I clicked the Post Comment button, it changed to ‘Comment pendig approval’. Obviously it hasn’t been approved. I wonder why.

Who cares if you …
Who cares if you guys have vitamins and minerals in your bottles! The point I want to make is, all the other that goes with it, in order to form a pill are toxic, carcinogenic, and takes away the true benefits of the intended use. LOOK! You dirty universities, you guys need to make efforts to help the situation instead of making all your graduates regurgitate your lies you teach them!
