Tonight's Menu: Laboratory Created Meat and Vegetables...mmmmm

Good Afternoon Everyone!

       Picture this:  You're sitting down in a restaurant and the server tells you about the specials of the night.  He says, "The special for tonight is a laboratory created steak with a side of laboratory created vegetables."  Sounds amazing huh?... Yeah Right!!!  I don't think their is anyone out there that would choose that meal over REAL fresh meat and vegetables. 
       So that tends to raise the question:  "Why would anyone take a vitamin or supplement that has been created in a laboratory?"  People take supplements to replace nutrients that they should be getting from natural foods in their diet.  It doesn't make sense to replace these natural food nutrients with those that are created in a laboratory.  The body simply responds much better to vitamins and supplements that come from organic and or whole food sources (just as it would respond better to real food as opposed to laboratory created food). 
      So what this means is that most of the vitamins taken such as Centrum, GNC or others from your supermarket/CVS are not as effective (if at all) as they advertise to be.  When shopping for a vitamin or supplement you should look for the source of the product.  The supplement should be from an organic or wholefood source.  These can be found at many local health food stores, the natural section of Wegman's, Wholefoods or you can order them from our office.  You'll probably pay more for the organic/wholefood supplements, but it makes more sense to pay more for something that works rather than pay less for something that doesn't work.
