Vitamins: Are They Necessary?
Our ancestors knew nothing about vitamins, and they did fine. They didn't know about food additives, artificial coloring and flavoring, above all, about pasteurized, homogenized, or skim milk. Medical researchers from other countries have attributed the high degree of heart disease and cancer in the U.S. to our high consumption of milk pasteurized, of course, and in recent years homogenized or skim. This, along with our national addiction to Coca-Cola, ice cream, donuts, pizza, candy bars, gives us one of the highest rates of degenerative diseases in the world. For all these, and other such popular favorites as powdered fruit drinks, sugar-coated cereals, hot dogs, potato chips, are susceptibility foods - foods, that is, which nibble away at, rather than build up, the body's immune system to disease.
