OT:
with regard to your post
Harvard Medical School has been running a vitamin study since the 1930's. The number one finding is "America has the most expensive piss in the world! "We have evolved to absorb vitimains and minerals from plants and animals not pills.
Vitimins are a tremendous watse of money, eat salads,
Eat broccoli rabi, drink wine!
I've just returned from a weekend of classes at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I'm enrolled in a year-long program of study as a holistic health counselor.
Our first guest speaker was Walter Willett, MD, the chair of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard, who has been running a number of very long term studies on the effects of nutrition on such illnesses as cardiovascular disease, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and type two diabetes. What I spent two hours listening to is not what you posted. (And given the number of misspellings in your quote, I'm betting you didn't quote directly.)
Willett stated that, while it's imperative that Americans eat more healthfully (LIMITING wine, reducing meat, increasing water, and vastly increasing the consumption of organic leafy greens), regular cardiovascular exercise, exposure to the sun for 10 minutes daily (to naturally increase the body's stores of vitamin D), and taking a multivitamin with folic acid are also very important for long term health.
Unfortunately, obtaining, and maintaining, wellness is not simply a matter of drinking red wine and eating strawberries. |
