Who can really say they have a truly balanced diet? Also there are so many aspects to consider. People with IBS etc who may struggle to absorb nutrients. I have taken a good quality supplement for years. Yes it is not a replacement healthy diet but most people can't meet that a lot of the time.
There is plenty of advice from ZOE on what constitutes a healthy diet, but they also emphasise that there are wide variations in gut biome that will influence health outcomes.
The studies presented in this video looked at cancer and cardiovascular health. They did not look at mood, sleep and energy. 5000 units of vitamin d lifted my mood. 2000 units didn't.
I am 88 and healthy, but I know certain vitamin and mineral supplements are beneficial for me now. An old body does not absorb some from food the way it once did. Also the use of pesticides in agriculture do affect the vitamin content in plants. Collagen supplements have strengthened my nails and hair remarkably. I once worked at the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation Nutrition Division. The doctor is talking of medical trials etc., but I think this needs a holistic approach by many departments. I think most old people definitely do benefit from certain vitamin and mineral supplements. I KNOW I do!
@@sauces_official thank you for this discussion. All discussion of nutrients, vitamins and minerals sourced from food, needs to include a reference, however brief, to the fact that a sufficiently healthy diet to obtain all the body needs is reliant on the health of the soil/water the plant grows in, animal eats etc, fish eats etc...as the primary source of the nutrients and today (as opposed to in the past) these are compromised by exhausted and impoverished, as well as polluted soils/water....not to get into storage, travel, picking early to travel etc. Even an organic plant grown now may be deficient in the minerals/vitamins it once would have supplied to the human body. Probably why multivitamins and minerals are needed even alongside even a healthy diet, until (if ever) the depletion and pollution are resolved. I'm making a plea that 'healthy food or diet' cannot be used, without reference to the difficulties of obtaining a truly replete with vitamins and minerals one....which isn't to discourage people trying to get the best of what is available....but would hopefully drive also people pressure to secure quality food over quantity and regenerative food production over intensive. This, in addition to processed food (consumption of which drives the production of cheap food eg hydrogenated oils, sugar) is the reason why essential vitamin and mineral supplementation is probably optimal for most people groups......for now. Thanks for all your useful and generally balanced information.
These doctors represent special interests. What can that be ? The pharmacutical industry. The pharmacutical industry's greatest threat is from the competition. Competition from who ? The nutritional supplements and the dietary approach to treating disease. Ooooh, be both afraid and suspicious of supplements and dietary approach to prevent or treat disease. Don't, however, be afraid of pharmacutical drugs which have been.......... TESTED. However, do yourself a favor, take a look at the plethora of side effects and contraindications of most of your so-called safe, tested and approved pharmacutical drugs.
As Tim Spector says VIT D levels in the blood are individual, ethnic and genetic. So pick a regime, I would start with 4K IUs with K2 of course and stick to it for 6 months. Then get your blood levels checked mid Winter - it costs about £30. Then adjust if needed. Then test bloods again after 1 year. My wife and I have done this for 3 1/2 years. I am white, my wife is black. We find 4K IUs with K2 perfect for us and our blood levels are exactly on target. But everyone is different. You need to give it 6 months. You need to check your actual levels. Make sure you are on or above target. Been doing this since the pandemic in March 2020. Never got COVID but did get a couple of colds. Not sure if there is any correlation but it is an almost zero cost insurance policy with no downside. Conclusion, just get your levels on target. If you don’t know the target levels they are easy to find out - the blood tests tell you or check Dr John Campbell’s channel.
So much evidence mounting against her claims on Vitamin D here, a dose of 1000 IU is practically worthless. And the general recommendations are way below what they should be, 10000 should not be considered a mega dose, but rather the minimum.
Can you please share any reputed journal article like in Lancet, Nature and BMJ which contradicts the information? Upper limit for vitamin D for maintenance is 4000 IU with suggested dose as 1000-2000 IU by American Association of endocrinologist. For treatment, dosage can be high under doctor’s supervision like 60,000 IU/ week, but not for maintenance. Opinions can’t be taken as science. We have to go by current science. In order to change that, better scienctific evidence is the only way to change current science.
Unfortunatly there's not much good research made on vitamin D. Actually, there's much resistance against doing such research in a way that can reveal the effects it really has. The following three research articles explain the current state of the research. A good start for learning about this. And also for any researcher who want to do, and are allowed to do real research on this subject. Physiological Basis for Using Vitamin D to Improve Health Sunil J. Wimalawansa Controlling Chronic Diseases and Acute Infections with Vitamin D Sufficiency Sunil J. Wimalawansa Vitamin D and Cancer: An Historical Overview of the Epidemiology and Mechanisms Alberto Muñoz and WilliamB.Grant By the way, to get most of the effects of vitamin D, you need a blood level of 50 ng/ml (125 nmol/l) of 25(OH)D. Typically each 1000 IU raises the level by 5 ng/ml. With typical food and no sun, you can expect to be at 20 -- 25 ng/ml, if you are healthy. You can easily calculate the supplement dose you need for this. But the individual variation is large, so measure the blood level after 3 months, and titrate the supplement level. To get the full effect of vitamin D, you also need magnesium and vitamin K2. (Actually vitamin A too, but most have enough of that already) You are advised not to aim for levels above 100 ng/ml. That's still not dangerous, but it's doubtful that it gives any extra benefits.
I think that was a very broad answer, yes there are thousands most of which are money driven, however there are also many excellent natural products that need to be tried, long trials are a waist of time and money, there are many old remedies that are excellent. The real problem is the food we are encouraged to eat, and some times we are too lazy to seek out. Not to mention our Governments should be taking responsibility for cleaning up the trade
An interesting discussion. The debate goes on. I was concerned by the blanket write off of meat as a great source of minerals and vitamins. Wild venison, and grass fed organic beef remain in my diet. Super sources of vitamins, minerals and protein too. So sad that some countries only produce indoor bred, mass produced, grain fed, antibiotic reared meat.
@Issie Anderson We only need 40g of meat a day to meet our daily required values for Iron and Zinc. Red Meat depletes the body of Vitamin C; when we eat meat, it combines in the stomach with saliva to produce carcinogens, we need Vitamin C to break down the carcinogens. Red meat also creates urea which is linked to gout disease. Mg, Zn, Vitamin C and D are the bedrock of our immune system. Vitamin C lasts in the body for maximum 6 hours. ..less if you are deficient. So yeah I'm wary about red meat.
@@ThePascoe51 No option is perfect. With 8 billion mouths to feed, what exactly are you proposing? Slaughter all cattle and venison, or do you think the whole world can live on veggies?
Yes, the whole world can live on plants. It takes 10 times as much land to produce vegetation to feed animals which we eventually eat, than it would it we just ate the vegetation. You can get all the protein and nutrition you need. Meat reduces available food. It doesn't increase it.
African Americans absorb less rays due to their melanin, which causes low vitamin D. This video prompts me to ask this question: While the vitamin D study involved many people, it is known that significant numbers of people are low. I tested frighteningly low in D. People such as I should be encouraged to dose at 5,000 per day as my physician advises. If a person is tested before and after supplementing, it hardly seems like mega dosing. Another point that came to mind, most holistic docs recommend D plus K2, since the K2 regulates blood clotting and also ensures calcium uptakes in the bone rather than blood vessels.
Take your supplements and decide for yourself.... Doctors stopped being doctors long ago.... tune in to your body 's signals, learn to research and read articles and take responsibility for your health! At the very least read about Dr. Pauling's contributions to our Understanding of the benefits of vitamin C!
I would like to hear about another reason for taking omega 3 oils. Due to our society consuming such a large amount of omega 6 fats from refined vegetables oil, the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 can be extremely high, Even 20:1. Omega 3 from supplements or certain foods can improve that ratio, reducing inflammation. In regard to reducing inflammation, plant based ALA works just fine.
Reducing omega 6 a lot is the much more healthy way to fix this important ratio than increasing omega 3. Unfortunately this is both inconvenient and expensive in our current food environment.
Fantastic podcast, thanks. I agree with JoAnne, Jonathan did an excellent summary! I'm stunned that there are over 90,000 supplements. And the advertising is phenomenally persuasive.
Awesome. I did know a lot of this from reading but getting it straight from such knowledgeable sources makes such a difference, especially as people I know ask me quite a few science based questions, I'm glad I haven't given them bad advice!
The off hand negative comments about red meat surprised me. Lots of people have benefitted from the Keto diet, supported by many studies. I have felt much healthier - mentally and physically since switching to a Keto themed approach - concentrated on meat/leafy greens and reduced carbs. Haven't seen any real evidence against red meat.
The problem with the Keto diet people can’t continue to stay on it and rightly so. It works short term but many then give it to it and return to regaining weight. So for me a balanced diet with exercise is key. No matter what it is calories in and calories burnt in losing weight.
@@CaseyKCRichardsYeah, you have to want it bad enough. It's a mental/addiction thing. It definitely takes some mental capacity which not everyone has. Which is too bad for them considering the healing qualities alone.
The Zoe study found a high negative impact on gut health. I still eat red meat just not as much at a single sitting but still notice the Zoe scores take a high hit when it’s in the dish.
Annoys the hell out of me that I can eat all the things that Zoe talk about, I include various ferments, only eat 2 meals a day, exercise everyday, but because I eat well sourced red meat ...... suddenly Im statistic....I call BS, we evolved eating meat 😠
I’m confused! What IS a “healthy varied diet?” Why can’t you please be more specific? Is a “Whole Food Plant Based “ diet a healthy varied diet? Or are you assuming meat must be added to be “healthy?”
Very interesting. As a late 70s male I have had Vit D and B12 lack due to malabsorption and taking a low value supp of these has worked well getting rid of fatigue (as proved by blood tests before and after as well as in general feeling). I do however concentrate fiercely on diet so take a holiday on supps occasionally. I do not take omega 3 supps and will be researching these more. A bad diet means I am more likely to have problems down the line.
I would have liked to here about any evidence of the roll of vitamin B in reducing mosquito bites. I do use nasty chemicals to deter mosquitos, but I am unhappy using it for 24 hours for several months, and definitely not on the face. It does appear to help.
Had scary neuropathy & fibromyalgia after tick Borrelia exposure. Legs & arms became weak, heavy & achy for many months. Out of desperation to get better, I spent lots of money on megadoses of vitamins & supplements. A year later, my serum creatinine flagged outside the normal range for the 1st time. Scary to realize how my kidneys were damaged by all the pills. I now use nutritional yeast for B vitamins, Brazil nuts for selenium, & eat primarily an organic plant based diet. The only pills I regularly take are a probiotic, Vit. D, coQ-10, & fish oil & on occasion resveratrol & an eye health supplement. I feel its enough.
Looking forward to hearing about supplement use in women's health, particularly for menopause, including specifically, surgical menopause in 20s, 30s, and 40s!
QUESTION-when ‘you’ talk of dosages what level of dosages are we talking about and, especially, when are these taken? Daily? Weekly? Other? Excellent discussion and thank you!
The most current research I hear about says NOT to take calcium. Research is also saying K2 is beneficial for people with heart disease and that it causes calcium to move from soft tissues to bones so it helps prevent osteopenia. What is your opinion?
Great talk as always Jonathan, I wish I had been so talented at summarising things as you are, would have helped heaps at college! Really interesting, I do take a medium dose of vitamin D along with 100 mcg of K2 as I haven't had Covid yet, have had the first 2 vaccines but can't have the mRNA ones due to historical anaphylaxis and have comorbidities, I am working on my health though and am on my 33rd day of the Big IF and am eating a pescatarian whole food diet. If I wasn't so impacted financially at the moment, I would definitely be joining Zoe nutrition as a customer but hopefully in the not to distant future.
Except for her remarks grouping processed food with red meat, this info seemed helpful. Red meat is part of a healthy diet. It’s a whole food. Be selective about sources, if you can afford it. But any whole food is better than anything processed.
Dr Manson's statement that red meat is unhealthy is very telling. She needs to reboot her nutritional knowledge regarding the value of ruminant meat in a person's diet. Her points that vitamin supplements need to be targeted and are in no way a substitute for proper nutrition are spot on.
We only need 40g of meat a day to meet our daily required values for Iron and Zinc. Red Meat depletes the body of Vitamin C; when we eat meat, it combines in the stomach with saliva to produce carcinogens, we need Vitamin C to break down the carcinogens. Red meat also creates urea which is linked to gout disease. Mg, Zn, Vitamin C and D are the bedrock of our immune system. Vitamin C lasts in the body for maximum 6 hours. ..less if you are deficient. So yeah ,I can see why the doctor is wary about red meat.
I heard on a surgeons site one of his patients took 20.000vit D3 with K2 and after 5 months she was cured of heart disease, what do you think? Is it safe?
Save for sure. When you are not ill, 5k should be enough and combine it with K2, it helps to avoid side effects of Vitamin D on the kidneys (which have to spread it when you take it as supplements). By studies, 50k per day starts to be bad and lead to kidney stones and alike, so don't get that high, it's simply way too much. Body itself can produce 25k units Vitamin D per day, but you need good sun for that and UVB. Sunlight alone doesn't help, the UVB radiation is the fuel, so when you protect yourself against UVB, you also reduce up to eliminate your Vitamin D production.
It would be really interesting if you did a deep dive into Vitamin D and the book Defend your life 3 by Susan Rex Ryan and inform people if the science holds up to scrutiny.
Yes it is a good source of iron especially if you are deficient, but there are possible issues with red meat including heart disease from saturated fat and dietary cholesterol and a person can also get too much iron if red meat is something they eat all the time.
@@cyberfunk3793 There is no causal link with red meat or saturated fats with heart disease. The studies show that red meat consumption is associated with the consumption of white bread, fried potatos, coke/pepsi, alcohol, and cigarettes. It isn't any of those things causing the heart disease, though, it's the red meat.... 🤦♂️
So sick of these trials designed to fail. Let's see if vitamin D prevents heart attacks. My gosh, turns out it doesn't. Don't get vitamin D. That is not the purpose most people want to have an idea of which and how much to take these nutrients. What is the optimal level? How much to supplement for an optimal level? Should I take it forever or in cures of limited periods. Are there side effects? etc...An honest trial is with endpoints specific to the expected role of that nutrient. If it is an essential nutrient then it must be needed for something in the right amount. Test for that. So they test for endpoints that are likely to fail but they don't test it for long term safety.
Checked my multi vitamin product. Most ingredients are 100-300% RDA. Why are there no pills with say 50% each ? Its supposed to be a supplement, not a replacement. I eat healthy and do a lot of exercise and sweat a lot. I think I could just use a supplement with water soluble stuff only.
Is it just me, or was there a bit of a mix-up with respect to the messaging about dosing and the RDA? I thought I heard Dr Mason say that she would recommend 1,000 - 2,000 IU of Vit D per day (it is commonly stated to be at 400 IU for many jurisdictions), yet also stated, "look at the label and never exceed the RDA unless told to do so by a clinician". Would it be a better assumption then, that perhaps individual supplements would best be curated subsequent to a qualified bespoke assessment?
@@Phantom-mk4kp Thanks, that's interesting that they have given a max dose amount, as I did not know about that. Getting back to the RDA, apparently the NHS give that amount as 10mcg, which is roughly the equivalent of 400 IU. My comment in this case is with respect to RDA's and the advice concerning same, which in my opinion may be contradictory in this excellent presentation, or at least in the case of this one limited example.
@@MountainParameters Are you aware it's a good idea to take K2 alongside a higher dose of D. extremely high dose D can cause calcification in the arteries, K2 gets the calcium into the bones and out of the blood
The UK is way out of line with many other countries, which set their levels more recently, Ours were set after WW2, to prevent rickets, before people realised that Vit D also has a role in strengthening our immune system, protecting the heart, reducing cancer risk, and helping sleep.
@@Phantom-mk4kp Indeed, fortunately with Japanese food being a staple in our house, and starting on D supplements after the original SARs in 2003, turns out Natto has been our saviour in many respects (as I'm sure you know it's high in K2). It's my understanding K2 is also being looked at for possible mitigations for arteriosclerosis as well, but I believe no solid data exists for that as yet. Notwithstanding the high price of Natto in our tourist town, "She Who Must be Obeyed" and I both supplement with 100 mcg of K2 a day at the moment, as I am also taking the 4000 IU of D, corresponding to what you noted previously. I've just started buying my K2 in bulk and have to make my own capsules. As the only empty caps I have are 00 size (which typically hold about 600mg or more), not sure what I am going to use as a filler. Leaning toward using an amino acid. First considered L-Arginine, but recently thinking maybe MSM, as, in my uneducated opinion, a filler of something like milk powder will spoil and go rancid, and corn starch is not a great supplement. If anyone knows of contraindications for using K2 with amino acids, I'd love to hear about it!
in Canada and USA there is a Rx only Omega 3 called vascepa or icosapent ethyl indicated to reduce CVD risk if statins are not enough and TG still elevated. There is good quality evidence to use in secondary CVD prevention?
No declaration of conflict of interests? Who funded all the clinical trails? We know that big pharma funds public bodies that advise on health. So how do we know this information is not contaminated by vested interests? Get all guest, including presenters declaring conflict of interests
Red meat produced in feed lots is dubious. Grain fed should ring alarm bells . Grass fed in small quantities is good for iron absorption satiety and protein
34:17 Oh no! Dr.Mason mixes the ultra healthy stuff, _"red meat"_ and _"saturated fat",_ in with the very unhealthy stuff, _"processed food", "sugar",_ and _"refined carbs"._ She lost all credibility. And worse, she calls unhealthy _"whole grains"_ healthy. I'm wasting my time listening to this unhealthy vegan crap.
A useful discussion about vitamin supplements and research. However, as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Registered Nurse, I was disappointed to hear half hearted promotion of breastfeeding, and factually incorrect advice suggesting breast milk may not contain enough vitamins. There is a huge amount of evidence to show that breast milk has all essential vitamins (and other nutrients and immune factors- many not able to be reproduced in formula). Many vitamins are more easily absorbed through breast milk - for example, there is a lot more iron in formula because it is far more easily digested in breast milk. The amounts of vitamins in breast milk is the perfect amount for a baby. Breastfeeding parents and formula feeding parents, of course, need to eat a nutritional diet and supplement as advised, for their own optimal health.
What does science have to do with the gender of the scientist? Personally I am interested in the quality of the output only, which is dependent only on the scientist's professional competence and moral rectitude.
Thought I'd throw in another comment and a copy and paste to back me up. Its great for doctors to talk about "balanced" diet, etc. but they are obviously unaware of "super tasters" (I'm not one but my wife is). Super tasters basically avoid vegetables in general, very rarelly does my wife ingest a salad, I don't remember the last time I saw her eat one. So before you put down people with poor dietarty habits, best to know what you are talking about, there is a place for vitamins in some peoples lives. "Pros of being a supertaster: May weigh less than average or non-tasters. That’s because supertasters often avoid sugary, fatty foods that are often packed with calories. These flavors can be too overwhelming and unenjoyable, just like bitter flavors. Are less likely to drink and smoke. The bittersweet flavors of beer and alcohol are often too bitter for supertasters. Plus, the flavor of smoke and tobacco can be too harsh, too. Cons of being a supertaster Eat few healthy vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables, including Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower, are very healthy. Supertasters often avoid them, however, because of their bitter flavors. This can lead to vitamin deficiencies. May be at a higher risk for colon cancer. The cruciferous vegetables they can’t tolerate are important for digestive health and helping lower the risk of certain cancers. People who don’t eat them may have more colon polyps and higher cancer risks. May have an increased risk for heart disease. Salt masks bitter flavors, so supertasters tend to use it on many foods. Too much salt, however, can cause health problems, including high blood pressure and heart disease. May be picky eaters. Foods that are too bitter just aren’t pleasant. That limits the number of foods many supertasters will eat."
She seemed to be credible until she started saying that red meat is not good for you. I focus on eating beef and staying away from sugar, seed oils and grains. Blood work and pressure is perfect.
Haven't watched the entire video yet but I would love to push research into post cancer radiation and chemo recuperation including multivitamins and Vitamin D. Its no secret that chemo can be especially brutal on the body. I went into sepsis after my laster chemo treatment 3 weeks latter. It is logical to think the body has been stripped out of some essential requirements. For me if I were running the study I'd be interested in multivitamins especially and perhaps not once a day but twice a day for something like 6 months, then 6 months of once a day.
Vitamin D3 4000IU a day everyday for the past year and my depression is gone. I no longer get overwhelemed to the point of crying and taking days to get out of a rut. It's completely removed social anxiety for also and I'm pretty sure it cured my dandruff or whatever the hell that white itchy buildup on my scalp was. Incredible stuff!! Take K2 with it tho. As always, DYOR :)
@@redhen689 My point is that a lot of health pundits say that vitamin supplements are unnecessary since most people get all the vitamins they need from their diets. I'm no scientist but seems obvious to me most people fall short of a well balanced diet.
@@beerman204 Well depending on the country you'll easily find or not people who have a healthy diet. I have a healthy diet. I know how to cook anything so it's not complicated at all for me.
I also would be curious to know that if we have evolved primarily as herbivores why have we inherited a necessity for vitamin b12? Vegetarians and vegans have no choice but to take vitamin B12 as a supplement have they?
Adults over the age of 50 may benefit from "mega-doses" of vitamin B-12 according to the National Academy of Medicine. I take a Centrum multivitamin for men over 50 three or four times a week, and B-12 is the only mega-dose vitamin in it.
Imagine having Sarah round your house and she tries to tell you that too much of a vitamin isn't good for you, and you're like "nah Sarah, think I know more about this than you" 😂
This conversation is very different in France although it's changing in people's mind since people love to follow America's mindset here. In France if you don't have any specific health issue and eat healthy nobody cares about supplements because you just don't need it. Now if your blood tests ( not you intuition) shows you're lacking this or that for some reason you'll get a prescription by your Dr on exactly what you're lacking in form of vitamin-medication so at least you know that controls and tests have been done on what you're putting in your mouth. Vitamins.... they are synthetic vitamins made with chemical compounds just like medication. The bulk of this industry just like medication is in India. The difference is that there strict tests, norms and controls are made on medication not on the random vitamins people are putting in their body everyday.
With respect to the podcast on supplements there was no mention of turmeric / curcumin which is very difficult to get sufficient amounts of in even a highly spiced diet. Would you recommend taking this as a supplement?
A question I still have: I know people, including myself, who take omega 3 supplements to lower their LDL. My experience was that krill oil lowered my LDL and keeps it low enough that my doctor would then NOT want me on statins. So my question is this: isn't omega 3's and lower LDL's more favorable than going on statins the rest of your life?
I’ve read research that states older women with arthritis and hypothyroidism have the most side effects from statins. Another study found that people who religiously took statins for 5 years lived 4.5 days longer, and they questioned that if they included people who had side effects and quit, then statins may do no good at all.
I have small amount of atrophic gastritis, so stomach hasnt full capacity to produce certain substances and so absorb them. B12 supplement has been a great improvement to energy and muscle burn during exercise. Obviously I wasn't absorbing enough to help process the iron I'd say .
Can they caused toxic problems. Synthetic ones. From Holland and barratts when taking 7 different ones? Tarine and L_lysine is a lifesaver. Never mentioned but is as good as vitd for benefits but never mentioned.
Has it been noted wether it is synthetic or natural supplement used in the studies? This is important. Ascorbic acid is only a part of the vitamin C complex, supplements with amla fruit, acerola berrys are whole foot and contains the whole C-complex.... is it organic produced/bounded selenium or is it not..... is it natural vitamin E or is it synthetic and is it only alpha toccepherol or is it all the 8 compounds of vitamin E (4 toccepherols and 4 toccetriols)..... theres a huge difference in supplements, their efficay and safety.... and it matters....
Very balanced and well needed information from a hopefully impartial scientist. Thank you to all of you. I wish I can get the following answered: 1. Are liposomal versions of vitamins and supplements superior to others in terms of better absorption? 2. Do GMO foods still provide for the expected vitamins and nutrients?
Yes. Thanks to some recent research from Italy (Dr Tom Cowan interviews); it's a steroidal hormone which, if taken orally, can cause inflammation in the gut. Just like other chemicals in that family, it has short term benefits but long term risks (taken orally). Best to let the body make it from cholesterol using sunlight. "vitamin D" is virtually the same chemical as cholesterol - slightly different structure. I think we will see more lamps become available with special UV bulbs (via D) mixed with IR heat bulbs (for melatonin production under skin).
Why do all these studies the doctors do talk about cancer and heart issues. Vitamins minerals, and other supplements can help with lots of other conditions. For instance, I have dry. And if I take my omega-3‘s, my cod, liver oil, which is the only vitamin D I go for, because it also has retinol a and a spoon of flax oil. most of my dry goes away. I don’t necessarily take those things thinking about my heart all the time or cancer, or some such thing but more for other discomforts that can be extremely concerning.🇨🇦
Everyone recommends B12, but I seem to have a reaction to it. It makes my already sensitive nerves even more painful. I've taken every form imaginable. Has anyone ever heard of that? My doctors don't have any idea.
My understanding of the interview. Water soluble vitamins can have reaction soon as they provide energy immediately. Therefore there is a chance of overdosing. And don’t have fat soluble vitamins without workout as they get stored inside fat and if not burnt can poison us.
You understand that every person takes in fat soluable vitamins pretty much with every meal they eat even without supplements and they don't end up poisoned even if they don't work out? Toxicity isn't that easy to happen, needs a high doses for long time to be toxic on for example vitamin-a or vitamin-d.
Heavens! You don't burn excess Vit DAnd E in fat by exercising. They are toxic inn excess . Read the story of Mawson and other Antarctic explorers.just stick to dietary guidelines for both water and fat soluble vitamins. The main way to prevent fractures is to do resistance exercises.
Not convinced of the evils of red meat but I don't live in the US. The only grain fed red meats are imports from interstate which we ignore .Our local meat is produced in pastures not feed lots. Serving size is 6O to to 100g at home ..250 to 300g in restaurants so the trick is to order one for two or three people and share our meals..
40 minutes deep and literally the ONLY thing significant is to eat a balanced diet and get your vitamins from that. Really? What a gigantic waste of time bc the reason we take multivitamin is bc we don't have time to make food that way. I'm starting to hate trying to be healthy bc the goalpost is constantly moving and getting scientific (not for profit) info is almost impossible
Over 50s should not routinely supplement iron, which many multi-vits contain. Plant based diets low in red meat can lead to B12 deficiency. Otherwise, great discussion.
i'd have questions about absorption by the body - but somewhat confused by the discussion - multi-vitamins good but generally supplements not good...? also vit d - i thought it'd been made clear that half the world was deficient in vit d and could not get it from brief or even lengthy exposure to sun (or cloud...) - and 'balanced' diet - that's the big problem
Unless you live where the sun shines a lot all year long and you spend time outside without your shirt on, it's pretty difficult to get enough vitamin-d. One can get their levels checked with a blood test obvoiusly but I think in the US it's something like 40% that are deficient.
