On "Megadosing" Of Food Supplements

Dr. Beverly McCabe-Sellers, professor of dietetics and nutrition at the University of Arkansas medical Sciences School, gives this warning on "megadosing" on vitamin supplements : "Taking too much of an essential vitamin or mineral may be as dangerous as going without the nutrient at all."

This quote was taken from the book "The 100 Simple Secrets of Healthy People" by David Niven, Ph.D. The book reveals amazing secrets of people who have lived to a ripe old age while junking myths and misinformation.

Enzymes In Vegetables As Powerful Medicines

Certain vegetables have enzymes that release valuable vitamins, minerals and amino acids responsible for keeping the human body alive and well. Research reveals the absence of one simple enzyme can spell the difference between sickness and health.

What are enzymes? Enzymes are pepsin that breaks up the protein from the food we eat. Examples are rennin that releases the nutrients in milk, lipase that splits fat, hydrochloric acid (HCL) that works on fibrous meats, vegetable and poultry. Without hydrochloric acid, there could be problems like anemia, allergies and gastric complications.
