Don't Risk Your Health To The Uncertainty Of Synthetic Vitamins Part 1

Don’t Risk Your Health to The Uncertainty of Synthetic Vitamins!  Part 1

Some say that Synthetic (man made) vitamins are the same as naturally occurring nutrients! In a multi-part blog I’m going to present evidence why they’re not.

Synthetics were developed in the lab in the ‘40s. They were far cheaper and could be mass-produced.  Dr. Royal Lee, Dr. Robert McCarrison, Dr. Weston A. Price and a few other pioneers of nutrition immediately determined that they were not the same and did not produce the same results and could possibly be producing bad side effects. Unfortunately much of their thoughts and studies did not come to light because of the power of money that the synthetic manufacturers had. Umm does that sound familiar to what is going on today with the GMO war?

Vitamins work in concert with their naturally occurring co-factors that are essential for the bioavailability (absorbance) of the nutrients. Basically your body must recognize the nutrients or they are treated as a drug or foreign substance and will try to expel them in the most efficient manner. The co-factors, some that have been identified and many others that haven’t, are as important to the body’s use of the nutrients as the vitamin itself. Synthetic vitamins are isolated and do not include natural co-factors which renders it’s usefulness as damaged our destroyed.  One such instance of the incompetence of synthetics were the studies of Nobel prize winner, Dr. Gunter Blobel in 1999. His studies of intercellular communication brought him to a conclusion of understanding that naturally occurring nutrients know where to find the proper receptors in the body to be absorbed, unlike synthetics!

Synthetics can show, in some cases, a short-term benefit but the real question is what are the longer-term detriments and havoc that they can wreak on the body?!!  As in many vitamin supplement studies that have been conducted, of which 99.9% of them use synthetic vitamins, the results have shown inconclusive or even  detrimental effects. Well we all know that the body needs vitamins and yes it’s best to get them through your food, correct? Could it be that synthetic vitamins are not what some scientists say, “Synthetic vitamins are identical to naturally occurring vitamins?” I would have to say a big DAH to that!! And maybe a What the…….? They are not the same!!

As more and more of us are learning to mistrust the producers of GMOs we must take a long hard look at synthetic vitamins with like contempt.  The mistrust of these laboratory-created, so-called nutrients have been in question since the ‘40s so let’s continue to question!

We will explore these problems and uncertainties in blogs to come. Please join in the conversation!
