Pillsorfood is a fantastic resource and I recommend everyone utilize it.  In fact, I like it so much that I have a link to it on the front page of my website.

Most of the supplements found on grocery, pharmacy and even nutrion outlets are made by eight companies who largely use synthetic vitamins made from such lovely sources as coal tar, crushed rock minerals, and other non-whole foods derived items.  In most instances such products are of minimal value and in many instances they may indeed be dangerous for a variety of reasons - including not only the artificial versions used but also shoddy manufacturing and contaminants.

However, on the other side of the coin, in the reality of today's mineral depleted soils, cold storage artificially ripened fruits and vegetables, and processed foods where most of the nutrition has been processed out, it is virtually impossible and highly, highly impractical to get all of the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients needed for even the measley RDA amounts (where established), much less the optimal daily amounts needed for maximum health benefits and the many, many nutrients which have not had RDA amounts established.  I have repeatedly challenged people here and on other forums to provide a one week 2500 calorie per day diet plan which provides such nutrition on a daily basis.  Thus far no one has been able to do so, despite continuing to repeat the false mantra that would have us believe that we can get all the nutrition we need by simply eating a balanced diet.

To be sure, we should make every effort to get maximum nutrition from foods and no doubt, foodsorpills can help us do so.  However, most of us will not get all we need and thus there is a need for supplementation.  The key when turning to supplementation is to look for whole-food derived supplements from a trusted source.  Three outstanding examples are sea vegetables, green foods powders and the wonderful all around nutritional product intraMAX.

Thanks for the message.  The more instances where it will be able to turn people from a pill to food, the better.
