As a result of the soils that our crops are grown in, the food value of the produce is not what it used to be and what we are faced with are nutritional deficiencies that never existed 100 years ago As a result of over utilization and chemical pollutants in our soils,our water and our air. We are simply becoming more and more nutritionally under nourished. To name one example, a tomato that is bought in an average supermarket has 400 times less food value than a tomato that has been grown organically under natural conditions. Sadly, it is taking far too long for commercial farmers to realize that the fertilizers they are using which are chemical based, are impregnating the produce with chemicals and damaging our health. The health of the first world is failing at an unprecedented rate just look at the amount of hospitals and clinics are being built every year to cope with the demand for healthcare. The standard argument put forward by those with financial interests in this industry are saying “it’s due to population growth”. That may be so to a lesser degree but the reality is chemicals in our foods. This is a vicious circle, more sick people, more drugs are being used and the side effects from these chemicals perpetuate further illness and so the world is quickly headed in a downward spiral that is benefitting the chemical and pharmaceutical companies and the healthcare system and we humans are simply the losers on all fronts.
The pharmaceutical companies have no interest in researching drugs that will address the causes of a disease, there is no money in that, they spend billions on developing drugs that treat the symptoms. The saying goes, “ for $ 400.00 a cure for a condition may be found, but for a $ 1.00 per day they can keep a patient for the rest of his or her life” For example blood pressure or blood thinning medication or insulin for diabetics. It certainly makes a lot more financial sense to the management of these multinationals, this industry is worth $ 1,4 Trillion Dollars annually.
These companies are also now realizing that people are starting to use more vitamins and supplements because the average person is beginning to realize that drugs and chemicals are not the long term solution to our health problems. What these companies are now doing is producing so called “vitamins” that are synthesized from chemicals. The average person will go down to their local supermarket and buy vitamins believing that what they are buying will improve their health, not so. These products are simply costing money and offering minimal benefit and are passing right through their bodies and making “expensive pee” as Professor Harry Seftel says with monotonous regularity. Here is and indication of what I am saying
Listed below are the sources of commercial vitamin supplements.
(chemically based)
Vitamin A: Synthesized from acetone and extracted with Hexane.
Beta Carotene: Synthesized from Vitamin A, or retinal.
Vitamin B1: (thiamine) Synthesized from thiamine dihydrochloride and mononitrate.
Vitamin B2: (Riboflavin) Synthesized from azo dye and barbituric acid.
Vitamin B3: (Niacin) Synthesized from acrolein, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, ammonia, vanadium and titanium.
Viatmin B5:(Pantothenic acid) Synthesized from formaldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, cynide and ammonia.
Vitamin B6: (Pyradoxine) Synthesized from oxazoles and butenediol.
Vitamin B8: (Biotin) Synthesized from fumaric acid, phosgene, bromine and hydrobromic acid.
Vitamin B9: (Folic acid) Synthesized from pyrimidene, trichloracetone, dichloracrolein and aminoibenzoyl glutamic acid.
Vitamin B12: (Cobalamin) Fermentation of pseudomonas or proprionibacterium followed extraction with cyanide.
Vitamin C: (Ascorbic acid) Glucose is converted into sorbitol and altered with perchcloric acid and acetone.
Vitamin D: Cholesterol is converted to acetate, brominated, catalyzed, saponified and photocheically, converted into pre-Vitamin D. Thermal treatment then rearranges it into Vitamin D3. Vitamin D2 are made in a similar way, but starting from ergosterol and extracted with hexane.
Vitamin E: (Alpha-tocopherol) Natural tocopherols are extracted from vegetable oils with hexane and then methylated. Synthetic forms are produced from trimethyl hydroquinones and isophytol.
Vitamin K: Extracted with hexane.
It is so important to supplement your diet with good quality vitamins, there are a few brands that one should consider purchasing because they are organic, chemical free and environmentally friendly and most important of all, safe to use.
Brands that are safe to use.
