In Michael Pollan’s book In Defense of Food, he rails against the notion of “nutritionism,” the idea that we can single out nutrients from whole foods, add them back to processed food, or take them as supplements, and achieve health benefits.
Countering this notion is the foundation of Sunrider foods. Harvest the purest crops and then concentrate and dehydrate them. Reduce 9 pounds of fruits and vegetables to a single pound of powder. The real secret to this process is that the live enzymes are not destroyed, so that one gets the full nutritional value of the foods.
Because they are foods, by eating them, one gets all the vitamins and minerals in the foods. It is impossible to do this with a vitamin pill because the vitamins are chemicals and not foods. This means that the body can only process about 20% of what is ingested and the other 80% goes down the toilet. Not a very wise use of money, either.
Why not not stop wasting your money and start eating the foods that your body can really use? Avoid the marketing ploys of the food industry, which wants to trick us into eating more junk food by putting it in friendlier packaging. Go to www.healthangelsnutrition.com to learn more.
