The real story behind synthetics...

Unfortunately, due to their cheap manufacturing costs, synthetic vitamins are readily available. You can find several over-the-counter versions of them in the "nutrition" section of your local retail store along with herbs of questionable effectiveness due to overextended shelf lives and harvesting methods.    However for years, countless studies, including these published by the New England Journal of Medicine (Apr 14, 1994 - Vol 330, No 13; Nov 23, 1995 - Vol 333, No 21), have pointed to the harm caused by synthetic supplements.  Increased incidents of cancer, heart attack, strokes, and birth defects have been linked to the use of synthetic vitamins. The body does not completely recognize these synthetic chemicals and treats them as foreign invaders and toxins. However as they have been genetically designed to mimic natural substances, your body is perfectly willing to accept and absorb them into its tissues. While the cost of manufacturing synthetics is extremely cheap, the actual cost and toll on your body is quite high.  Are you willing to short-change your health with harmful substitutes for the real thing?  Choose all-natural vitamins and herbs from a reputable supplier --- your health and that of your family depend on it.
