Supplements and functional foods and drinks: New evidence of shortcomings





A new scientific study shows yet another evidence that when you combine some antioxidants and vitamins together, such as ubiquitous Beta Carotene and Vitamin E, proper absorption of these nutrients is compromised.

This is what we get with both supplements and these new "Frankenstein foods or drinks", made with patched-up processed ingredients, and a bunch of fad antioxidants. Food and supplement manufacturers tamper with Nature, while whole foods contain nutrients in the right proportions for correct metabolization. This latest scientific evidence shows again that the food processing and supplements world needs some serious regulations.

Now what do you think when Coca Cola studies Chinese medecine to dig up some new herbal extracts to boost the marketing of their sugary beverages?
