Vitamins and other supplements, ..., are loosely regulated and their health claims are unproven.

Just another medical industry attack on nutrition. There are thousands of studies supporting health claims of supplements.

Unfortunately, the food industry wants to bury such studies to prevent being more mandates to add more nutrients to their processed foods. The pharmiceutical industry wants to bury positive nutrient studies to prevent competition. These articles need to specify who paid for the study.

Do you believe the food industry puts certain chemicals in food to create addiction, like nicotine in cigarettes?
