Well, do you?Here's how you can find out. Get out your bottle of daily vitamins. Hold it up to the light and read the label. You might need a magnifying glass.
Like most people, I bet you're taking a synthetic vitamin. Here's why you need to know:
Three Studies
#1. Study using synthetic beta carotene and Vitamin E halted
29,000 male smokers were given synthetic beta carotene and synthetic Vitamin E. The study was stopped when rates of lung cancer, heart attacks and death increased. - New England Journal of Medicine, 1994
#2. Birth defects increased for women on synthetic supplements
22,000 pregnant women were given synthetic Vitamin A. The study was halted because birth defects increased 400%. - New England Journal of Medicine, 1995
#3. Men get thickened arteries on synthetic supplements
Men who took 500 mg of synthetic Vitamin C daily over 18 months showed signs of thickening of the arteries. - Reuters Health, March, 2000
So are your vitamins synthetic too? To find out, read this educational report. While there, you'll also see the ingredient label of a popular synthetic multivitamin advertised quite a bit on TV.
This educational report, "How Safe Are Your Vitamins?", is not the only one talking about the risk of synthetic vitamins.
Don't you want the real thing?
