  1. You can't tell what kind of things they are putting in our food now a days.

    Great article. I prefer using raw herbs rather than health supplements. This article provides lots of information to encourage this habit. Thank you! Ken

  3. So, what is the answer? I would think it impossible to obtain our needed nutrients from food filled with GMOs and pesticides. The vitamins that we purchase are no different. Seems to me the safest and most enduring answer is to raise our own food. If that is not possible for one to do, buy you food from the local farmer's markets, or from a source you know and trust. Be sure their crops are nonGMO and organic, free of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Eat at home. Eating out is an impossible situation. It is very hard to conceive of the fact this is the same country I grew up in…when things were simple and honest.

  4. Excellent article. It pays to research for products that will benefit our health. There are some wonderful companies committed to NonGMO whole food supplements and certified organic, found under the strict guidelines of Canada and USA. Do your homework. Don't take the cheap way out. When I am told by others, 'I can't afford it', I answer with, 'I can't afford not to'.

  5. If you look closely at the quality of ingredients on the labels, you'll see they are not of very high quality.

  6. by rightly calling out problems with the new-comers, you implicitly condemn the whole industry. the reputation of the natural products industry was NOT built by these late comers. there are still lots of companies that do care about putting out good product..
    telling synthetic vitamin E from natural is easy. name of natural begins with "d" and synthetic begins with "dl"

  7. What about the magnesium stereate and maltodextrin which is mostly GMO corn?

    1. According to an article on Natural News magnesium stearate forms some kind of a thin coating on your intestines' wall, which then prevents many nutrients from entering your system. Also, this form of magnesium is not useful for your body.

    Magnesium stearate is always from GMO, far as I know. Maltodextrin is always suspect, although some is claimed to be from organically grown sources. Mike Adams of Health Ranger has some recent posts in his newsletter regarding such info.

  9. I manage a health shop which has over 1000 different lines of vitamins from 15 different suppliers, non of which contain what this journalist has reported. Don’t believe the hype from this article and always speak to someone EDUCATED in supplements. Eating for better health is number one, but fearing supplements isn’t necessary.
