Nowadays it’s very hard to believe anyone from the nutrition industry. Everyone saying different outcome with different food and supplements. However, I am over 40. I got positive out come with high power (7000 iu d3 +k2). If we get sunlight our skin creat 20,000 iu d. So lil bit high dose of d3 with k2 is not a problem. However, if you got cold and flue take high dose C . With in two days ..you will be clear. D, k2, zink, C and magnesium this safe me from Australian flue. It’s my personal experience.
I remember my mother giving me cod liver oil, spoonfuls, when I was small, guess that was bad too? I'd rather take my chances with vitamins than some of the thousands of pharmaceutical products that are recalled each year. But people should choose careful what they are and how much they are ingesting into their bodies.
God forbid people taking some vitamin supplement and actually become healthier as that could cut into the profit share of big pharma. Who's gonna buy med if everyone is healthy??
No. The old cod liver stomped out ricketts which was a dreadful childhood deformity. Your mum did good. It's not needed now due to the abundance of food but some scandinavians still use it due to 6 month winter's devoid of sunlight. It was replaced with vitamin d in the west.
Before taking supplements, thoroughly examine your diet and its nutritional content. That way, you can rule out what you absolutely do NOT need to ingest more of. My diet for example, is pretty low in magnesium. So I know that I need to compensate for that - either by adjusting my diet or taking (an appropriately proportioned) supplement.
I remember going to my GP for some stuff and just randomly asked if maybe there's something i could take to improve my immune system, since it was failing me a bit at that time. You know what she said to me? She was like "the best thing is, just have enough sleep and rest, eat properly and it will show the biggest difference". TBH i never really was big on all that BS, except when my mom would go for one or the other. But she wasn't huge on those either. I tried taking certain stuff for skin, hair and nails, but never really saw any difference.
The law should not allow these to be sold in "pharmacies" unless they have been scientifically validated. Selling them in a pharmacy indicates to consumers that everything has been verified by a "trusted" pharmacist so it must be safe and effective.
"trusted" pharmacist so it must be safe and effective." LOL How many side effects do most if not all synthetic drugs prescribed by doctors and pharmacists. They are legally allowed to prescribed narcotics. Are those "safe and effective"?
Pregnant women need folic acid. Many people need calcium, iron, and vitamin D. Many people do not eat their veggies and need more. Vegan's need B12. Everyone is different. I have COPD and take carnitine and nac. It helps me
I took vitamin D for years until I researched the internet and found that it causes Hypercalcemia which can cause the problems I am having with the urge to urinate when my bladder isn't full----getting up three times a night to pee about a tablespoon at a time!
Like any food industry you need a Quality Control system. Someone who watches and controls the process of manufacturing and quantity of ingredients. Bacteria, mold and oxidation has to be picked up during the testing of these products. And the person who does the testing has to have the guts to document it and report it.
The problem with vitamins is people don't want them regulated for risk of increased cost as we know what happens with the cost of medication, but at the same time not regulated the vitamins don't always have what they are claimed to have. Who do we trust?? That is the key word ... TRUST. People do NOT have Trust in Health Canada or in the ones who profit from the selling of such products.
I have been so overwhelmed around my vitamins... Other than magnesium, a bit of d with K2 I am throwing the rest away. I will look into the potassium though.… CBC, thank you.!! So in depth, and not scared to be direct. I've not found anything else so informed.… The world needs to see this.…… Now, if you can press the FDA to share just exactly how they go through a process of approving these vitamins
I absolutely love how they show the equivalent in food source for the vitamins, like that's all that the source contains is the vitamin portion. Yes the cantaloupe only contains vitamin C! Sad part not a lot of people actually analyse what they are showing and how everything is presented.
Something I've heard (or read) is that foods today don't have the same level of nutrients they had 60-70 years ago, because the soil is overused (for lack of a better word). So, that is why we would need to eat so much more vegetables or fruit to equal what one fruit gave us 60-70 years ago. Hence the need for vitamins to supplement our diet, since we cannot eat the quantities of food needed to get our daily requirements of vitamins and minerals.
I think you misunderstand, what it is coming to is that we are overdosing on vitamins. He also said that we should listen to our stomachs and used the fruit to measure, it would be impossible to naturally consume the amount of vitamins that we take from the bottle.
@@BettyJ155 I think the word you're looking for is "Soil Depletion." Plus all the fruits and veges you are getting is NOT fresh. It's kept in refrigeration for months before it hits the shelves. That's why we need the extra vitamins and minerals.
People that take supplements need to instead concentrate on improving their diet with a balanced range of healthy foods. Then they won't need supplements.
MasKistershi You would have to make sure all your food was purely organic, not the chemicalised products that are around. Fruit, veg meat, milk etc full of chemicals all the crap fed to animals, intensive farming so cruel, spraying fruit and veg crops sprayed with chemicals.
not to mention that the soils are depleted and the vitamins and minerals that should be in the food are not there anymore. If we all grew a garden, there would be no food shortages
The supplements are useless anyway. The doses are so low you wont even notice any difference. If you eat healthy food you notice the difference instantly!
Wow! I am officially blown away. I never trusted vitamins in the first place as I questioned how replacing real food with a pill helps in any way, but I never expected this. Glad I don't take 'em.
Nobody is "replacing" food with vitamins. How do you know you are getting the needed nutrients which promote better health? Scurvy was a real problem, and still can be for lacking Vitamin C.
@@GeekBoy03: And yet, here I sit, 54 years old (in 45 mins) and the last time I got a flu was when I was 27. Never had a flu shot, don't take vitamins and rarely even eat oranges. I very rarely get a cold even and the last time I seen a doctor was 3-4 years ago. I used to be diabetic until I prayed about it and then went off all their medication and it went away. I obey GOD, I don't take pills, but I avoid the food HE tells me not to eat and do my best to obey the rest of His laws. How do you explain my good health? Hmmm...
With glyphosate all of our food has become toxic by omission > of all the vitamins and minerals necessary for the proper operation of our immune systems. Also when is Health Canada going to test all vaccines for safety and effectiveness and publish the results.
This is very interesting. I had an idea of possible bad quality of supplements but not at all to the extent showed in this documentary. I am left with more questions than answers I think.
Jo-Ann Guthur I am sorry that my comment is so late lol but listen to Food Revolution Summit that starts tomorrow April 8 2018 they talk about a lot ,go to the website and register its world wide and free, it's every year and life changing.

Not a problem, Devin. But do not take anything for granted. All the answers are not on that programme; there is more to health than a 42m TV show can, well show and inform.

Find a good Nutritional Supplements you can trust. It only takes 3 months or 6 you should feel big improvements or even better... Got Better from your ailment.
I was obsessed in taking vitamin c , multivitamins, biotin and vitamin d before that caused my ferritin and iron saturation levels up. Now I’m doing venesecation to remove the iron from my system.
the power of knowledge, good video. I have made my health worse by taking too many supplements. Get your nutrients from mother nature, good nutritious food
4:05 - a chemist that went into Chiropractic. Oh, my, gosh! Why would you study real science and then go into quackery and anti-science? Was it a money thing?
I was taught that consumption doesn't equal absorption. Nobody's body absorbs 100% of the nutrients you consume, especially if you're naturally thin. That is why they put up to 10x the daily recommended IU level of vitamins in supplements. If most of it is going to end up in the toilet then you would need to over consume to absorb the desired amount. I learned this in a nutrition class in a culinary school, would love to get someone's 2 cents on it as I have never been challenged on this opinion before. Am i right/wrong? Thanks.
If you look at recommended intake in Australia they actually explain the studies they looked at to come to the recommendation. All recommendations are excessive to have a buffer and does take into account likely rate of absorption. If you look around the world the recommendations are slightly different but within 10% or so of each other.
I've read loads of medical books, watched hours of medical documentaries, that sure don't qualify me to open someones heart up, of to make pills of any kind. Don' know what the law is in the US, but here in Ireland making pills of any kind without some sort of a license will end you up in a spot of bother.
If someone's level of any particular nutrient is low, it means that they're not consuming the food(s) which contain them, or they're not consuming enough of those foods; hence the reason our diet should be both balanced AND adequate.
@@Palmstreet-u7xNope. IF I just drink 2 cups of coffee, instead of 1, then in two days I will be magnesium deficient, and my muscles will go wild. Also in northern hemisphere vit. D deficiency is very common because of lack of sun. When did you last time check your levels?
@@magdalenaos8215 I drink four cups of coffee a day and my magnesium was checked and was optimal. Vitamin D is the only supplement I take and again my levels are good, above 100 nmol/L.

As the video pointed out, it's not that they don't care. It's that there is so much pressure on them from these companies and from regular people as well who have been duped by these companies' billion dollar campaigns.
Actually, we have it a lot better than the USA where each state is in charge of its laws and regulations. We have had caring health ministers and the laws and regulations are there. However, you are correct in that the govt has to come down on those who sell non-real foods. I'd like junk food heavily taxed. If the cheapest small bag of chips (about $1.50) were $3 by weight (~55gr), the larger bags would be prohibited in price for those with common sense. A small bag now and then isn't so bad. Call it a health tax.
*A doctor from a private and damn expensive clinic prescribed me vitamin D pills with 20. 000 iu per pill and he said I should take one twice a week. After 2 weeks I felt dizzy every time I stood up as soon as I stopped taking them the dizziness stopped. As soon as I started to take them again, the dizziness returned. So I knew that those vitamin D pills sure weren't good for me.*
When the health official stated that he had a harder time taking on the supplement industry than big tobacco 😳. I have wisened up significantly now, however, at one point I spent a small fortune on seeing naturopaths and taking bucket loads of highly expensive supplements for chronic ailments. Perhaps I was fortunate to only lose money and waste my time. Dr Harriet Hall has an excellent series on debunking the anti-scientific elements of the wellness industry.
I have had multi-vitamin, omega-3, protein supplement and creatine mono-hydrate and felt better. Please also note that i had 10 hours of rigorous cardio and weight workout per week. If you are couch potato, i bet all these supplements will hurt you in short and long term as well. And btw, omega-3 does have inflammation effect, i have experienced it first hand in knee joints as i perform squats with weights in gym and wrists while performing bench press.
what about the FDA approved pharmaceutical drugs ???? what about the quality and contaminations and others bad things they have, please we need a report on they products too.
Vitamin pills now contain much stringent vitamins. I just check mine. It says it have 8.8 mg E per pill lower than 15 mg what we need everyday. Since we have other sources of E, it is ok to eat one pill to ensure sufficient intake.

I know for a fact that Vitamin C can save lives. I wouldnt be here if it wasnt true... Also the New Zealand farmer who's son's tried Vitamin C at high doses. He also knows it saved his life too.
21:20 again wrong! "But those who had low fish intake - fish is the primary source of marine omega-3s in the diet - had a statistically significant reduction in the primary endpoint, compared to placebo. The lower half of the distribution had a "19 percent reduction with treatment" and, "for heart attack alone", a 40 percent reduction."
Precisely. That is what the "placebo effect" explains. People believe they are taking something that is efficacious when in fact it is not, meaning the perception of efficacy is psychological, not physiological.
The doctor at 18:49 looks like he eating a good diet. Regardless of what anyone says here, if he could post his diet we would all be better off. Shortages of some minerals in local soils do put farmers who eat exclusively from that soil at risk. It's not hard to see that poor teeth might be related to a lack of something, if everyone in the area has poor teeth. If they could have more localized studies, I think it would justify the sale of CERTAIN items in regional areas, and an information campaign through the public health department to promote the benefits of certain minerals in such an area are beneficial. If you visit a restaurant and could line up the patrons, and then look at their general well being, and ask what they normally eat and take as supplements, youi might get a better feel for what is lacking in the area. Lack of iron, Vit D, even things like iodine, cause huge problems for people.
I believe in the medicinal properties of plants. But i know that a lot of herbal companies are taking advantage of our trust and they cut costs by barely adding the medicinal properties needed to reap any benefit.
And/or just adding the cheap ones.. Looked at some protein supplements' labels in the store. About 80% Pea protein. Then pea starch is listed next.. Might as well just eat the peas! Lol..
Excellent program! I had no idea that most health food products are only spinning a yarn for the fairy tale we want to believe of these products efficacy and if only we take them we will be 200% healthy and live to be at least a hundred years old!
Everything you know about everything is brought to you by ADVERTISING. The strategy to separate consumers from their money. Fear tactics through health concerns generate more than vanity product's. The first to reap the millions was the old Listerine ads of the 60's. "You probably suffer halitosis but nobody's going to tell you" campaign was the first to discover that frightening people with a made up disease makes millions.
Although it does happen, I highly doubt there would be enough anabolic steroids from this type of contamination (equipment wasn’t cleaned well enough) to cause clitoral enlargement (which occurs after long-term steroid use) and for there to be growth of male breasts when vitamin intake is stopped (due to the higher levels of estrogen produced naturally in response to an exogenous supply of testosterone). Anabolic steroids also do not necessarily make you aggressive, not to the point of causing you to get kicked out of school. Contamination is a big issue, especially for athletes who are subjected to tests, and people on anti-depressants and birth control. However this seems to be really exaggerated, which they’d have an interest in doing if they’re suing the manufacturer of the tainted pills.
Jr A very honest, enlightening and informative commentary for all who did not know. I am thankful that we can live healthy lives through foods that nature has provided for us.
love how funny it often is that when you go to the ''health'' conventions peddling supplements - behind the counter you get an obese overweight salesperson (ex: @ 35:32) smiling mostly because of the sales he (or she) is looking forward to... ...as for myself , in my youth and middle age I was a pretty good athlete ... was on and off 'gear' (PED's - steroids) in order to be at a top level and push my body beyond my genetics. I was also taking supplements that put a good dent in my wallet. But today - no more supplements or gear and I'm over 60, still training but feeling great and not ''overused''. The only difference is that I no longer feel the need to be at a competitive level where health is compromised - now I go for health and well being
I take a few supplements but after watching this show I wonder how much of a benefit they are. The politician who stood up and said "Government should not get involved." What a hypocrite he is. Didn't we vote him in to protect citizens and go after companies who are doing wrong by false advertising? Goes to show how a lot of these politicians will never go after the mega rich. You know they are padding their pockets with $'s based on lies and more lies.
These days with the ‘rona I shake my head when I see friends and relatives taking those super high dose vitamin c supplements. Most of it can’t even be absorbed and it’s not the best quality for the body to metabolize. I agree, just eat an orange and squeeze some fresh lemon juice in your morning water. Way more than enough.
That was the point, he could have shown about 1.9kg of oranges to represent the 1000mg of vitamin c but it's a bit more weight in rockmelon so more dramatic.
I live a lone and find it easier to eat properly. There's not some other person with all those opinions and childish food tastes to disrupt my cooking!
Excellent video about supplements. Best to eat variety of foods n nuts fresh fruit n vegetables. I also use lots different types herbs in my soup. Also garlick.ginger n turmeric
Canadians Health is a government responsibility . Government should take proper steps to make sure these products are not hurting anybody . About Twenty years ago news of large study of people taking multivitamin and people not taking any vitamins were followed for twenty years . People who took multivitamin died six months earlier . In the study they also noticed people taking vitamins were doing other healthy things ie exercises, eating healthy etc
Joe Nelson But they are wrong when it comes to vitamin d. The 600 UI recomendation is based on false information. 600 units will keep you from some effects of defeciency, but its not an optimal dose.
... I think supplements are good if there is something one isn't getting enough of in one's diet. It's not that they're magic, it's that the human body needs some things to work properly... and that's it. No more than that. E.g. I take iron because I had apparently developed iron deficiency anemia, and about a year later, I'm apparently healthy. I don't feel much difference, but maybe because it's been so long :/.
I think you are on the right track, Helen. Study is what it takes. A big problem today is the foods people eat. Vitamins and minerals are actually used up to a point in digestion of food; the wrong junk foods may use up what little they get from the few natural goods they eat.
But cantaloupe is not the most vitamin c intense fruit. He should have used kiwi. 1 person can easily eat 5 kiwis...which would make 350mg of vit.c, so maybe the pill could be divided into 2 or 3 for daily use (if the person is eating fast food all day). But when someone is sick, doctors recommend 1000mg per day. Excess vit.c is taken out of the body with urine anyway.
Wait who takes omega-3 for their heart health?? I take them for my brain... because that's what omega-3 is for??? Like. I just don't eat fish very often, so I take some omega-3 supplements regularly to ensure that my brain has what it needs to function. Like if I've eaten fish that day (or even the day previous)? I skip the supplement. And I only really take it every other day as is.... Sheesh.
The blonde woman championing massive vitamin D doses, avoided the question, when asked if she had any scientific evidence for her claims. She got nervous, swallowed a couple of times, paused, and said, there's lots of evidence, did not mention one peer reviewed paper, just says the evidence is there. Not nearly good enough. The peer reviewed papers on the subject contradicts what that person tells people, in order to sell product. The few studies I have read about chemical analysis of "supplements" sold in stores that sell supplements, have found many strange and dangerous substances in those products and usually little or none of the ingredient people believe they are buying. That is what happens when such consumables are unregulated. You have no way of actually knowing what is in the pill, capsule, or liquid you are putting into your body. I laughed big when I learned that the man who concocted the Purety products was a chiropractor. He was not a "chemist", he had some chemistry in university but gave up science to pursue chiropractic garbage. Chiropractic practice is also full of unverifiable claims. The claim that uncleaned mixers might be the source of the steroids in the purety products is absolute BS. To get those kind of symptoms from steroids, you are taking a lot of it, not just the traces a mixer might leave in a batch.
Advertising is the art of arresting the mind for long enough to gain money from it. Think about this before buying anything that is supposed to be "good for you". Remember, advertising agents are experts in their field

The law should not allow these to be sold in "pharmacies" unless they have been scientifically validated. Selling them in a pharmacy indicates to consumers that everything has been verified by a "trusted" pharmacist so it must be safe and effective.

That is true too for some people for sure ….
Like any food industry you need a Quality Control system.
Someone who watches and controls the process of manufacturing and quantity of ingredients. Bacteria, mold and oxidation has to be picked up during the testing of these products. And the person who does the testing has to have the guts to document it and report it.

The problem with vitamins is people don't want them regulated for risk of increased cost as we know what happens with the cost of medication, but at the same time not regulated the vitamins don't always have what they are claimed to have. Who do we trust?? That is the key word ... TRUST. People do NOT have Trust in Health Canada or in the ones who profit from the selling of such products.

So in depth, and not scared to be direct.

I absolutely love how they show the equivalent in food source for the vitamins, like that's all that the source contains is the vitamin portion. Yes the cantaloupe only contains vitamin C! Sad part not a lot of people actually analyse what they are showing and how everything is presented.
Something I've heard (or read) is that foods today don't have the same level of nutrients they had 60-70 years ago, because the soil is overused (for lack of a better word). So, that is why we would need to eat so much more vegetables or fruit to equal what one fruit gave us 60-70 years ago. Hence the need for vitamins to supplement our diet, since we cannot eat the quantities of food needed to get our daily requirements of vitamins and minerals.
I think you misunderstand, what it is coming to is that we are overdosing on vitamins. He also said that we should listen to our stomachs and used the fruit to measure, it would be impossible to naturally consume the amount of vitamins that we take from the bottle.

I think the word you're looking for is "Soil Depletion." Plus all the fruits and veges you are getting is NOT fresh. It's kept in refrigeration for months before it hits the shelves. That's why we need the extra vitamins and minerals.
The problem is , you ask 10 doctors , you get 10 different answers .
True
People that take supplements need to instead concentrate on improving their diet with a balanced range of healthy foods. Then they won't need supplements.
MasKistershi
You would have to make sure all your food was purely organic, not the chemicalised products that are around. Fruit, veg meat, milk etc full of chemicals all the crap fed to animals, intensive farming so cruel, spraying fruit and veg crops sprayed with chemicals.
Except that it's just big organic trying to get into your pockets as well. Notice when Amazon bought whole foods? they cut prices the next day
@Denise You literally cannot acquire food that has no chemicals in it.
not to mention that the soils are depleted and the vitamins and minerals that should be in the food are not there anymore.
If we all grew a garden, there would be no food shortages
The supplements are useless anyway. The doses are so low you wont even notice any difference. If you eat healthy food you notice the difference instantly!
Wow! I am officially blown away. I never trusted vitamins in the first place as I questioned how replacing real food with a pill helps in any way, but I never expected this. Glad I don't take 'em.
Nobody is "replacing" food with vitamins. How do you know you are getting the needed nutrients which promote better health? Scurvy was a real problem, and still can be for lacking Vitamin C.

Wow Mr. Dr. . Newmaster im from Guelph as well. Thank you for your research..
I was taught that consumption doesn't equal absorption. Nobody's body absorbs 100% of the nutrients you consume, especially if you're naturally thin. That is why they put up to 10x the daily recommended IU level of vitamins in supplements. If most of it is going to end up in the toilet then you would need to over consume to absorb the desired amount. I learned this in a nutrition class in a culinary school, would love to get someone's 2 cents on it as I have never been challenged on this opinion before. Am i right/wrong? Thanks.
If you look at recommended intake in Australia they actually explain the studies they looked at to come to the recommendation. All recommendations are excessive to have a buffer and does take into account likely rate of absorption. If you look around the world the recommendations are slightly different but within 10% or so of each other.
This documentary is of a quality.
I have always had my suspicions about vitamin companies!
I've read loads of medical books, watched hours of medical documentaries, that sure don't qualify me to open someones heart up, of to make pills of any kind. Don' know what the law is in the US, but here in Ireland making pills of any kind without some sort of a license will end you up in a spot of bother.
I don't think that we get enough vitamins with food - iron, magnesium, calcium and vit. d deficiency are quite common among people I know.
If someone's level of any particular nutrient is low, it means that they're not consuming the food(s) which contain them, or they're not consuming enough of those foods; hence the reason our diet should be both balanced AND adequate.
but thats people who only eat take away and pizzas and fast food who are sick,,
@@Palmstreet-u7xNope. IF I just drink 2 cups of coffee, instead of 1, then in two days I will be magnesium deficient, and my muscles will go wild. Also in northern hemisphere vit. D deficiency is very common because of lack of sun. When did you last time check your levels?

Canadian government don't care if the product is real are not, as long as there get that tax revenue. sad
As the video pointed out, it's not that they don't care. It's that there is so much pressure on them from these companies and from regular people as well who have been duped by these companies' billion dollar campaigns.
Actually, we have it a lot better than the USA where each state is in charge of its laws and regulations. We have had caring health ministers and the laws and regulations are there. However, you are correct in that the govt has to come down on those who sell non-real foods. I'd like junk food heavily taxed. If the cheapest small bag of chips (about $1.50) were $3 by weight (~55gr), the larger bags would be prohibited in price for those with common sense. A small bag now and then isn't so bad.
Call it a health tax.
That's so depressing!
Like practically every country in the world
Dr David Kessler needs to look at the Pharmaceutical company's.
*A doctor from a private and damn expensive clinic prescribed me vitamin D pills with 20. 000 iu per pill and he said I should take one twice a week. After 2 weeks I felt dizzy every time I stood up as soon as I stopped taking them the dizziness stopped. As soon as I started to take them again, the dizziness returned. So I knew that those vitamin D pills sure weren't good for me.*
When the health official stated that he had a harder time taking on the supplement industry than big tobacco 😳. I have wisened up significantly now, however, at one point I spent a small fortune on seeing naturopaths and taking bucket loads of highly expensive supplements for chronic ailments. Perhaps I was fortunate to only lose money and waste my time. Dr Harriet Hall has an excellent series on debunking the anti-scientific elements of the wellness industry.
I take my Vitamins every day and they help me a lot. Without them I would no longer be able to function properly.

Health Canada is not the best judge of what vitamin levels are appropriate
what about the FDA approved pharmaceutical drugs ???? what about the quality and contaminations and others bad things they have, please we need a report on they products too.
Vitamin pills now contain much stringent vitamins. I just check mine. It says it have 8.8 mg E per pill lower than 15 mg what we need everyday. Since we have other sources of E, it is ok to eat one pill to ensure sufficient intake.

21:20 again wrong! "But those who had low fish intake - fish is the primary source of marine omega-3s in the diet - had a statistically significant reduction in the primary endpoint, compared to placebo. The lower half of the distribution had a "19 percent reduction with treatment" and, "for heart attack alone", a 40 percent reduction."
I noticed a big difference when I don't take my cod liver oil. My skin feels and looks so dry even if I use lotion
Fish eat algae thats how they get omega 3 so no you should be eating flax and seaweed to get omegas
Best way to stay healthy is to juice and blend fruits an veggies

How come since ive been taking vitamins ive gotten sick way less and when i do get sick the duration is alot shorter?
Jordan Turner Simple, the placebo effect.
Confirmation Bias
My little brother too and me also.. No it’s Not Placebo, my Vitamin D Level is from 10 to 100 now and them it’s like I‘m a New Person.
You found a good combination of supplements for your body?
Precisely. That is what the "placebo effect" explains. People believe they are taking something that is efficacious when in fact it is not, meaning the perception of efficacy is psychological, not physiological.
The doctor at 18:49 looks like he eating a good diet. Regardless of what anyone says here, if he could post his diet we would all be better off. Shortages of some minerals in local soils do put farmers who eat exclusively from that soil at risk. It's not hard to see that poor teeth might be related to a lack of something, if everyone in the area has poor teeth. If they could have more localized studies, I think it would justify the sale of CERTAIN items in regional areas, and an information campaign through the public health department to promote the benefits of certain minerals in such an area are beneficial. If you visit a restaurant and could line up the patrons, and then look at their general well being, and ask what they normally eat and take as supplements, youi might get a better feel for what is lacking in the area. Lack of iron, Vit D, even things like iodine, cause huge problems for people.
You assume somebody looks good because of the diet. That's the most reductionist American thing I've ever heard.
Astounding.
Good looks are genetic.
I believe in the medicinal properties of plants. But i know that a lot of herbal companies are taking advantage of our trust and they cut costs by barely adding the medicinal properties needed to reap any benefit.
And/or just adding the cheap ones..

Everything you know about everything is brought to you by ADVERTISING. The strategy to separate consumers from their money.
Fear tactics through health concerns generate more than vanity product's.
The first to reap the millions was the old Listerine ads of the 60's.
"You probably suffer halitosis but nobody's going to tell you" campaign was the first to discover that frightening people with a made up disease makes millions.
Although it does happen, I highly doubt there would be enough anabolic steroids from this type of contamination (equipment wasn’t cleaned well enough) to cause clitoral enlargement (which occurs after long-term steroid use) and for there to be growth of male breasts when vitamin intake is stopped (due to the higher levels of estrogen produced naturally in response to an exogenous supply of testosterone). Anabolic steroids also do not necessarily make you aggressive, not to the point of causing you to get kicked out of school. Contamination is a big issue, especially for athletes who are subjected to tests, and people on anti-depressants and birth control. However this seems to be really exaggerated, which they’d have an interest in doing if they’re suing the manufacturer of the tainted pills.

A very honest, enlightening and informative commentary for all who did not know. I am thankful that we can live healthy lives through foods that nature has provided for us.
love how funny it often is that when you go to the ''health'' conventions peddling supplements - behind the counter you get an obese overweight salesperson (ex: @ 35:32) smiling mostly because of the sales he (or she) is looking forward to...
...as for myself , in my youth and middle age I was a pretty good athlete ... was on and off 'gear' (PED's - steroids) in order to be at a top level and push my body beyond my genetics. I was also taking supplements that put a good dent in my wallet. But today - no more supplements or gear and I'm over 60, still training but feeling great and not ''overused''. The only difference is that I no longer feel the need to be at a competitive level where health is compromised - now I go for health and well being
Thank you for sharing this.
I take a few supplements but after watching this show I wonder how much of a benefit they are. The politician who stood up and said "Government should not get involved." What a hypocrite he is. Didn't we vote him in to protect citizens and go after companies who are doing wrong by false advertising? Goes to show how a lot of these politicians will never go after the mega rich.

Straight up, if you eat one orange you've nearly got all of the recommended vitamin C. IDK why that guy was going on about rock melon
These days with the ‘rona I shake my head when I see friends and relatives taking those super high dose vitamin c supplements. Most of it can’t even be absorbed and it’s not the best quality for the body to metabolize. I agree, just eat an orange and squeeze some fresh lemon juice in your morning water. Way more than enough.
@@Grk149 Because vitamin C has proven benefits, and you get way more than an orange
A yellow bell pepper contains more vitamin C than an orange, if you ever wanna toss it up one day.
That was the point, he could have shown about 1.9kg of oranges to represent the 1000mg of vitamin c but it's a bit more weight in rockmelon so more dramatic.
Science doesn't have back it, real life reviews for all those many years are what's needed.
If you live alone, it is almost impossible to get all the necessary vitamins, without taking a multivitamin supplement.
I live a lone and find it easier to eat properly. There's not some other person with all those opinions and childish food tastes to disrupt my cooking!

All our fruits and vegetables are Nutrient Deficient because of Soil Depletion, so it doesn't matter how much you use, you will still be deficient.
Canadians Health is a government responsibility . Government should take proper steps to make sure these products are not hurting anybody . About Twenty years ago news of large study of people taking multivitamin and people not taking any vitamins were followed for twenty years . People who took multivitamin died six months earlier . In the study they also noticed people taking vitamins were doing other healthy things ie exercises, eating healthy etc
The government has a responsibility to ensure the products available to us are safe. Your health is no ones responsibility but your own

Joe Nelson But they are wrong when it comes to vitamin d. The 600 UI recomendation is based on false information. 600 units will keep you from some effects of defeciency, but its not an optimal dose.
Most of information we receive is false,it's every man for himself,vitamin's won't help if you jump of a high building,or hit by a bus.

Vitamin D3 should only be taken toghether with Vitamin K2,..otherwise it can harm you,...research it yourself

... I think supplements are good if there is something one isn't getting enough of in one's diet. It's not that they're magic, it's that the human body needs some things to work properly... and that's it. No more than that. E.g. I take iron because I had apparently developed iron deficiency anemia, and about a year later, I'm apparently healthy. I don't feel much difference, but maybe because it's been so long :/.
I think you are on the right track, Helen. Study is what it takes.
A big problem today is the foods people eat. Vitamins and minerals are actually used up to a point in digestion of food; the wrong junk foods may use up what little they get from the few natural goods they eat.
Helen McCoy Thank you. The voice of reason. :-)
But cantaloupe is not the most vitamin c intense fruit. He should have used kiwi. 1 person can easily eat 5 kiwis...which would make 350mg of vit.c, so maybe the pill could be divided into 2 or 3 for daily use (if the person is eating fast food all day). But when someone is sick, doctors recommend 1000mg per day. Excess vit.c is taken out of the body with urine anyway.
Wait who takes omega-3 for their heart health?? I take them for my brain... because that's what omega-3 is for??? Like. I just don't eat fish very often, so I take some omega-3 supplements regularly to ensure that my brain has what it needs to function. Like if I've eaten fish that day (or even the day previous)? I skip the supplement. And I only really take it every other day as is.... Sheesh.
Covid proved how useful the 600iu vitamin D recommendation really was LOL
The blonde woman championing massive vitamin D doses, avoided the question, when asked if she had any scientific evidence for her claims. She got nervous, swallowed a couple of times, paused, and said, there's lots of evidence, did not mention one peer reviewed paper, just says the evidence is there. Not nearly good enough.
The peer reviewed papers on the subject contradicts what that person tells people, in order to sell product.
The few studies I have read about chemical analysis of "supplements" sold in stores that sell supplements, have found many strange and dangerous substances in those products and usually little or none of the ingredient people believe they are buying.
That is what happens when such consumables are unregulated. You have no way of actually knowing what is in the pill, capsule, or liquid you are putting into your body.
I laughed big when I learned that the man who concocted the Purety products was a chiropractor. He was not a "chemist", he had some chemistry in university but gave up science to pursue chiropractic garbage. Chiropractic practice is also full of unverifiable claims.
The claim that uncleaned mixers might be the source of the steroids in the purety products is absolute BS. To get those kind of symptoms from steroids, you are taking a lot of it, not just the traces a mixer might leave in a batch.
