This information is not new to many in the natural health field.
Going back more than 100 years, a key part of the organic movement
included the theory that natural was better than synthetic and artifi-
cial. The true natural approach is to keep yourself healthy by eating
real food that supplies the full spectrum of nutrients — from micronu-
trients to phytonutrients. Unfortunately, if you’re trying to get your
micronutrients from supplements, they’re most likely HSAIDS — like
the majority of vitamin and mineral preparations on the market. By
taking these you not only risk side effects and may not be getting the
whole vitamin complex, but you’re missing out on the phytonutrients
that accompany the natural versions.
