"You Can Get All the Nutrition You Need from Food" --- NOT!

. . . time to retire this old saw Although you’ll still hear the old saw about getting all the nutrition you need from food, in fact it’s virtually impossible today. (For the reasons why, see my report, The Roadmap to Choosing Supplements.) More and more establishment sources are calling a multivitamin a necessity. Case in point is the lead researcher in a new study from Harvard on multivitamins and cancer, J. Michael Gaziano, MD, MPH, who said in a recent news briefing, “Our main message is that the main reason to take a multivitamin is to prevent nutritional deficiency.” This study, by the way, which followed 15,000 men over the age of 50 for four years, found that taking a low-cost multivitamin reduced their risk of getting cancer by 8% (prostate cancer by 12%). Those are good results, but just imagine what that percentage could be on one of our high-quality multis plus the vitamin C and essential fatty acids found in the Basic Wellness Kit! In addition to a world-class multivitamin, this kit also contains the all-important essential fatty acids needed to build healthy cell membranes and fight inflammation (see my article The Oil Crisis), and vitamin C to build strong tissues and bones and for detoxification (see my article on Vitamin C, as well as articles on taking vitamin C: Vitamin C to Bowel Tolerance and Vitamin C Flush Instructions). Our Basic Wellness Kit is now on sale!
