Food Supplement Topic (Page 1 of 2)

think there is no vitamin problem so far, to a plenty of meals (convienence food) are vitamins added , for conservation
adding all kinds of vitamins too juices too
....makes me more sad that the original taste (strawberries,tomatoes...)  is gone

Well Mesgott one thing you are right... plenty of vitamins around.
But I much prefer the natural vitamins out of fruit & veggies, over the synthetic vitamins out of the industry. The natural vitamins have proven their health since the stone age.

The food industry know exactly nutrients are decreasing out of veggies and fruit over the past years, Instead of telling the truth, the food industry add synthetic vitamins to their products which I think lead to unwanted side effects. But hey, then the pharmaceutical industry comes in and sell you their medicines to help you fight the symptoms. How brilliant...

The test they did is just related to vitamin C and E. This drink Jus I am talking about is much more than just those 2 vitamins, and Jus is 100% natural.
I dont feel the need to discuss ageing, that's just a step too far.

When you google on Antioxidants, lots of articles inform you about 'dont take too much antioxidants'. Those articles handle about 1 fruit, containing 1 type of antioxidant, while there are 3 types.
True, taking lots of 1 type from 1 fruit does not do you much good. Drinking a bottle of whisky (of one brand if you will) a day is not very healthy as well... so what is new!

Jus is on the right track I think because Jus contains 23 types of fruit (not just vitamin C & E) and does contain all 3 types of antioxidants in there.
That's why they have to ask around 40 US dollar for 1 bottle of Jus, but you take just 30 Ml daily and you finish your bottle in 1 month.
I strongly recommend the US Robots to just try one, it's really exceptional.
These are the ingredients in Jus;
Acai palm    
Acerola    
Aloe vera juice    
Apple concentrate
Aronia berry    
Cranberry extract    
Ginseng    
Grape seed extract
Grape skin extract    
Green tea    
Lycium Berry (Wolfberry)    
Mangosteen
Noni fruit    
Pomegranate    
Prune extract    
Raspberry
Reishi mushroom    
Sea buckthorn    
Strawberry    
Tart cherry extract
White tea    
Wild bilberry extract    
Wild blueberry (wolf berry)

Black shape, you can google on 'Geigy' and you see the first hit, but it's in Dutch.
Maybe hit Translate will help.

Food & vitamin supplements = expensive piss!

a big con in my mind and more a sympton of a paranoid and over health conscious world!

Buy a juicer and shop at your local market more!!

Carrot, orange and fresh ginger juiced is the dog's bollocks in winter!!

A good solution here, I don't know if it exists in your country, is the "AMAP" (association pour le maintien d'une agriculture paysane). It's like a coop where you buy directly from the peasant bio vegetables & fruits, with a contract, like you pay for one basket every week: so if you really need tomatoes in december... well you try to avoid and eat winter vegetables during winter...
This concept is growing a lot, and the advantages are multiple...
Well and if you have the chance to be able to grow your own products, like we do here, it's a must, but it requires much more work than eating a pill...

Edit: found that site for international AMAP: http://www.urgenci.net/

Black shape; the only thing the Swiss should make is watches if you ask me.
Dont take things into the extreme Black shape, to get scurvy you have to refrain from vitamin C for at least one or two months. Even a lousy fruit drink contains some vitamin C which is enough to prevent you from scurvy, but for the long term it is not very healthy for you to live that sober.

The makers of Jus I met a few weeks ago. They are just a few cowboys from Boise, Idaho.

I see you did not gave it a try yet. First investigate and experience before give your comment fellow robot

well you don't really seems to get my opinion in consideration, so keep drinking your Jus..
If you listened to all those food scientist, we'll end up like in Demolition Man movie, where everything is forbidden, because claimed unhealthy: scientists are shouting on animal fat, saying it's really bad, but they don't know how to explain the really low rate of heart problem in south-west of France, where they cook everything in duck fat...
The solution for me is the authenticity of what you eat, and saying that kind of food is out of range because more expensive is untrue.
And about the fall of nutriment in the vegetables, the abuse of NPK fertilizer is the cause, nothing else.

dont quit moderate ! Only act like a teenager on the holidays

I think being content and not stressing over lifestyle is as important.

same for germany, i think, most of my neighbors get their food in a small shop with direct access to organic farmers, but it's still a very small movement.

master main thing is   J O B   S E C U R I T Y   (red ticker is missing at this place...;))

i still try to do my industrial dust ideology - we are industrial dust, everything is industrial dust, every day even more is just industrial dust, there's no way out, one must try to find ways to cope with industrial dust - but am about to combine it with classic green approach, more than i'm doing anyway.

french people have a total different relation to food and eating and living at large.

without wanting to dis anyone from the netherlands, i think there're lots of parallels to germans...:)

0,2 l carot juice + 0,4 l standard multi-vitamin juice is my daily dosis for many years now, but i'll watch out for jus. sounds persuasive.
