You would be a very good lawyer, sincere congrats!
Lol, so I've been told. But really you guys are posting all these articles to support your views that supplements are bad, and none of you are even checking to see if it's credible information. I don't think those are lawyer skills but just basic investigating.
Like I said in a previous post, you guys have a tendency to post info that supports your views without looking into it to see if the information is valid.
Like the first article which showed studies on multivitamins being unable to prevent cancer, heart attacks (in people who have already had one), and decline in cognitive function (in people over 65). Then your link from a company selling raw food supplements. Then Tyler's from a website who might as well have been making up most of what their website said.
Not to mention the study he used to back his claim based on its title.You see the problem with that? You're digging up any information you can to support your views, and most of it isn't even valid. If you're going to use an article to support your views, you can't say it's supportive
based on the title, without having even read the article. With that kind of logic, the studies claiming vitamins are useless because a multivitamin didn't prevent a second heart attack or death in people who have already had heart attacks is valid. That kind of logic essentially says, "why even look at the study if it supports my point of view?"

That article was done on synthetic Vitamin A. There are various examples of specific vitamins that when synthetic can be problematic. I've been saying that this whole time. Here are some examples.
Magnesium forms and absorption -
http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Magnesium-HealthProfessional/"Absorption of magnesium from different kinds of magnesium supplements varies. Forms of magnesium that dissolve well in liquid are more completely absorbed in the gut than less soluble forms [2,11]. Small studies have found that magnesium in the aspartate, citrate, lactate, and chloride forms is absorbed more completely and is more bioavailable than magnesium oxide and magnesium sulfate [11-15]. One study found that very high doses of zinc from supplements (142 mg/day) can interfere with magnesium absorption and disrupt the magnesium balance in the body [16]."
Article on folic acid -

Kelly et al.10 reported the appearance of un-metabolised folic acid in serum of young and elderly people in response to a period of 5 d consumption of folic acid fortified foods, or foods spiked with folic acid."
Article on folic acid and methylfolate and pregnancy -
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3250974/There are certain forms of various vitamins that aren't good. Vitamin A, folic acid, and some forms of magnesium are just a few. But that doesn't mean ALL vitamins have those same properties, and it certainly doesn't mean they should all be grouped together.
Very conceited. I am hardly going to spend 31.5 dollars for most every blasted scientific reference I come up with. If you genuinely want to debunk this piece which, if not in detail, does condemn synthetic vitamins, pay the cash yourself.
You're the one who cited that study to support your view! That's literally like me citing a study titled "Synthetic vitamins are as good as the food equivalent," without having read it because I don't have access to it as valid evidence to support my claim. The sources I've cited have the information there for you to look at.
I find it extremely difficult to believe that you use only supplements with absolutely no fillers in them. Almost all artificial supplements have these trans-fats or whatever in them as it makes it far easier to manufacture them. There are a tiny few producers who do not use such fillers(like Dr Ron Schmid) but even he has to increase the price of his products substantially in order to use such methods.
Literally the only additive in my supplements mentioned by that website is stearic acid. Part of the specific carbohydrate diet is making sure all supplements, foods, liquids etc. are SCD legal. Which means most of the additives they mentioned aren't allowed. Not that there aren't other additives in some of my supplements, but none from those mentioned on that website.
Here is a list of companies making pesticides, medicines and synthetic vitamins : I won’t waste my time to read that whole webpage but you’ll certainly do in view to be able to point out some mistakes or lack of serious references…
I won't bother going through that entire website (found @
http://sites.commercecreators.com/folder2674/index.cfm?fuseaction=browse&id=6013&pageid=1175 ) and through all the companies they mention. I will however point out they cited absolutely zero references in all their claims. I'll also point out they're selling their own supplement line.
Geigy who became Ciba-Geigy and then Novartis after fusionning with Sandoz was the evil Swiss company that poisoned the whole planet with DDT. It’s well known that Ciba-Geigy, Sandoz and Novartis were / are large producers of pharmaceutics as well as pesticides and… synthetic vitamins! Basel in Switzerland at the border of France and Germany is a town where such chemicals are manufactured. I've been there quite regularly with trucks and I sometimes even transported such shit.
You're welcome to share any information about those companies and their manufacturing of supplements.
