Over The Hill Health Matters

It would appear that there are currently in the neighbourhood of 50 bajillion multi-vitamin and mineral supplements on the market today. I have gone to numerous sites in an attempt to discern if anyone out there has an idea as to how one goes about determining which multi-vitamin and mineral supplement, if any, would be the best one for his or her body.

Good luck with that.

The obvious loser is the lead-contaminated Vitamin Shoppe offering, and Hero brand children’s multivitamin has twice the amount of vitamin A as is stated on the packaging. Centrum, although extremely popular and highly touted by doctors, contains evil additives and hydrogentated vegtable oil for god’s sake.

How many times have we been told by every health educator and his brother that hydrogenated vegetable oil lines our arteries like plastic? Amway also adds hydrogenated vgetable oil to their otherwise excellent whole-food based vitamin and mineral supplements. It is the best selling multivitamin and mineral supplement in the world, and they can’t be  responsible enough to remove the hydrogenated vegetable oil.

Do they think that the army of researchers the world over that have corroborated a milion times over that hydrogenated vegetable oil is not good for arterial health are just making it up? Even John Q Public knows this by now, so why are they still using the stuff? If we keep using it the problem will go away?

It just might, by natural selection. Perhaps only 30 per cent of the population forms plastic-coated arteries and dies from hydrogenated vegetable oil. Who knows? I don’t wish to be the guinea pig. Get it out of the peanut butter while you’re at it. Children who don’t die from peanut allergies eat that stuff, you psychopaths.

Speaking of children, Flintstones multivitamins are considered quite good by reviewers.  Dr. Sahelian’s MultiVit RX is highly touted by his followers, but Dr. Mercola’s whole food-based multi-vitamin and mineral supplement is very impressive.

Dr. Mercola’s website is also user-friendly and most informative. Dr. Mercola also offers a 100 per cent money-back guarantee.  His whole food-based, highly absorbable multivitamin and mineral supplement looks like the best place to start. Dr. Mercola has gone the extra mile in the development of his multi-supplement.  He brings up the valid point that many multi mineral supplements have minerals in forms which may result in toxic build-up. Not his, he says.

Dr. Mercola is a controversial figure in the world of health science and alternative health therapy. Check out his site for yourself.

When it comes to a safe, dependable multivitamin and mineral supplement, I think that Dr. Mercola is right on the money. And Dr. Mercola likes money. And a solid reputation. If he sold crap he would not be in business long. He already takes a stance against EMF pollution and has long warned against the prolonged use of cell phones since research points to brain cancer in mice.

But you know mice.

Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.

Once they got that text messaging down pat, voila, no more brain cancer.

Carpal tunnel on the other hand…

The point is that Dr. Mercola wants to keep us healthy in as natural a way as is possible. He might be a fanatic, but this can only mean that he has gone the extra mile in order to ensure that his whole food-based multivitamin formula is founded on sound nutritive and absorption availability principles.

Pharmaceutical companies don’t like him because he doesn’t trust the motivations behind pharmaceutical companies.

Do you?

And once again, but not always, I do not stand to gain financially from this suggestion.
