Natural Vitamins or Synthetic?Written by Olga Timbol
Continued from page 1
How do I know what vitamins to take? Good question. How can we be sure we are making right choices when choosing nutrition supplements. Advertisers spend millions trying to convince us that their vitamins are best on market. What can we believe and to whom can we go to for advice? Can we go to our doctor? Most medical schools provide less than 3 hours education in nutrition. Let The Buyer Beware You need a magnifying glass to read ingredients on label. In choosing nutritional supplements it is truly “e caveat emptor”, let buyer beware. There is no regulation in vitamin industry and there are legions of unscrupulous vendors try to get your hard earned money. Some Vitamins Are Hazardous To Your Health Most people are not aware that many vitamins, including some of highly advertised “name brands”, are processed at high temperatures, contain petroleum derived chemical solvents, such as ethyl cellulose and are coated with methylene chloride, a carcinogenic material. According to Dr. Zoltan P. Rona, M.D., “Although most healthy people will have no obvious side effects from ingesting small amounts of toxins found in cheap vitamins, long term consequences of continuous, daily intakes are potentially dangerous. Over 7% of population displays sensitivity to these chemicals.” Dr. Rona says that allergic reactions include fatigue, memory loss, depression and insomnia. A One A Day Vitamin Doesn't Cut It. Research has been done on some of national brand vitamins including Centrum and Centrum Silver. To put it plainly their formulas are cheap. Not just inexpensive...but cheap. They have sub-optimal levels of antioxidants, which are so important for fighting free radicals and building up your immune system to fight off heart disease and cancer. But problem isn’t just important missing ingredients. It is chemicals that shouldn’t be there. Take Centrum Silver as an example. Centrum’s ingredients are all synthetic and include seven different chemicals, solvents or dyes. What Should I Look For? Number one is to choose a manufacturer you can trust. Many companies are more interested in shelf life than human life. Stick with natural supplements and avoid chemicals. A complete all natural formula which includes all antioxidants you need for heart health, and no harmful chemicals, will run you about $1.30 to 1.50 per day depending on ingredients. That's about price of a cup of coffee.To learn more about natural whole food vitamins, please visit http://www.natural-multivitamins.com

For this reason, I have started a website specifically for people diagnosed with Krukenbergs Spindle and Pigment Dispersion Syndrome. It can be found at: http://www.krukenbergs-spindle.co.uk It's aim is to help inform people what these conditions are, what procedures can be taken to help, what to expect, etc. I am trying to assess just how many people worldwide have this condition, any differences in treatment and form a support group for those interested.
