@Riyyah D lmao i hope you're being sarcastic

Nowadays it’s very hard to believe anyone from the nutrition industry. Everyone saying different outcome with different food and supplements. However, I am over 40. I got positive out come with high power (7000 iu d3 +k2). If we get sunlight our skin creat 20,000 iu d. So lil bit high dose of d3 with k2 is not a problem. However, if you got cold and flue take high dose C . With in two days ..you will be clear. D, k2, zink, C and magnesium this safe me from Australian flue. It’s my personal experience.

Yeah.... money money money.

I don't even know why people need vitamins all u need is eat good food that's all

Because here in wintertime there is no fresh fruits!

@@aminuaidara8601 and where is the nutricional foods these days?

Reject processed foods and predominately eat whole foods plant based. In the winter, eat frozen fruits and veg or Canadian brown root vegetables and brassicas like cabbage and kale when price or availability is an issue. Frozen also got me through the pandemic when I only went to the store once a month. That being said, in Canada if you don’t go outside, vitamin d still needs to be considered, just not in the mega amounts often offered.

my buddy owns a health food store,sells every kinda potion,herb,vitamin,etc,u could think of,and he confides, what a joke it is, and he laughs, all the way to the bank,every single day,with armfuls of cash and a great big smirck on his face

Why B12 supplement?

@@snake1625b B12 is made by the bacteria in the soil. We no longer consume this bacteria with our food and water due to sanitation so we need to supplement. Meat eaters get it recycled from the animals (who are ironically supplemented with it as well). Plant based eaters need to take a B12 supplement directly. :)

Yes! Plant based whole foods for the win! 2 years pbhf and in the best health I've ever been 🌱💚

@@snake1625b It's popularly believed that older adults can't absorb B12 properly. In fact, only about 20% (1 in 5) have this problem. Yet most doctors recommend all their older patients take a B12 supplement, without bothering to identify a problem first. Doses of 1000 mcg or more (400 times the recommended daily allowance) are usually suggested. My wife's doctor pulled this stunt and I hit the roof when I found out. It turned out she did NOT have a deficiency. That doctor was playing Russian roulette with her health.

Exactly

Even Drs can't prove that the drugs they prescribe you is really good for you

God forbid people taking some vitamin supplement and actually become healthier as that could cut into the profit share of big pharma. Who's gonna buy med if everyone is healthy??

These ARE unregulated pharmaceutical products 😂

No. The old cod liver stomped out ricketts which was a dreadful childhood deformity. Your mum did good. It's not needed now due to the abundance of food but some scandinavians still use it due to 6 month winter's devoid of sunlight. It was replaced with vitamin d in the west.

This show also conflicts with what I was hearing and witnessing 10 years ago where many natural health products were being banned from Canada right and left, the reason seeming more to do with decreasing pharmaceutical competition than "preventing harm".

Tomatoes for example are not grown in soil, they are in a water solution under tarps. Same with other mass production of food. If people really knew what they are eating, they would be horrified. A lack of nutrients is just one of the problems.

They don’t want you to take vitamin D so you can can their chemical medicines and stay mental fatigued

That is true too for some people for sure ….

Lol, what about homeopathy

200%I agree

"trusted" pharmacist so it must be safe and effective." LOL How many side effects do most if not all synthetic drugs prescribed by doctors and pharmacists. They are legally allowed to prescribed narcotics. Are those "safe and effective"?

The law is probably part of it

Did u take vitamin d with vitamin K2?

@@gitismita418 no----with Glucosamine Sulphate and Vitamin B

True

MasKistershi You would have to make sure all your food was purely organic, not the chemicalised products that are around. Fruit, veg meat, milk etc full of chemicals all the crap fed to animals, intensive farming so cruel, spraying fruit and veg crops sprayed with chemicals.

Except that it's just big organic trying to get into your pockets as well. Notice when Amazon bought whole foods? they cut prices the next day

@Denise You literally cannot acquire food that has no chemicals in it.

not to mention that the soils are depleted and the vitamins and minerals that should be in the food are not there anymore. If we all grew a garden, there would be no food shortages

The supplements are useless anyway. The doses are so low you wont even notice any difference. If you eat healthy food you notice the difference instantly!

Ever heard of Forever Living Products??

@@itscoachsamba yeah the Mlm company?

Something I've heard (or read) is that foods today don't have the same level of nutrients they had 60-70 years ago, because the soil is overused (for lack of a better word). So, that is why we would need to eat so much more vegetables or fruit to equal what one fruit gave us 60-70 years ago. Hence the need for vitamins to supplement our diet, since we cannot eat the quantities of food needed to get our daily requirements of vitamins and minerals.

I think you misunderstand, what it is coming to is that we are overdosing on vitamins. He also said that we should listen to our stomachs and used the fruit to measure, it would be impossible to naturally consume the amount of vitamins that we take from the bottle.

Ever heard of Forever Living Products??

If the food that is being produced wasn't vitamin and mineral deficient we wouldn't need these remedies!

@@BettyJ155 I think the word you're looking for is "Soil Depletion." Plus all the fruits and veges you are getting is NOT fresh. It's kept in refrigeration for months before it hits the shelves. That's why we need the extra vitamins and minerals.

If you look at recommended intake in Australia they actually explain the studies they looked at to come to the recommendation. All recommendations are excessive to have a buffer and does take into account likely rate of absorption. If you look around the world the recommendations are slightly different but within 10% or so of each other.

Nobody is "replacing" food with vitamins. How do you know you are getting the needed nutrients which promote better health? Scurvy was a real problem, and still can be for lacking Vitamin C.

@@GeekBoy03: And yet, here I sit, 54 years old (in 45 mins) and the last time I got a flu was when I was 27. Never had a flu shot, don't take vitamins and rarely even eat oranges.

I obey GOD, I don't take pills, but I avoid the food HE tells me not to eat and do my best to obey the rest of His laws. How do you explain my good health? Hmmm...

@@NeilRoy can I know the food God gave you to overcome your diabetes and how to go about it. Thanks

@@GeekBoy03 scurvy is caused by lack of aminoacids, not vitamin c.

If someone's level of any particular nutrient is low, it means that they're not consuming the food(s) which contain them, or they're not consuming enough of those foods; hence the reason our diet should be both balanced AND adequate.

but thats people who only eat take away and pizzas and fast food who are sick,,

Everything you know about everything is brought to you by ADVERTISING. The strategy to separate consumers from their money. Fear tactics through health concerns generate more than vanity product's. The first to reap the millions was the old Listerine ads of the 60's. "You probably suffer halitosis but nobody's going to tell you" campaign was the first to discover that frightening people with a made up disease makes millions.

Jordan Turner Simple, the placebo effect.

My little brother too and me also.. No it’s Not Placebo, my Vitamin D Level is from 10 to 100 now and them it’s like I‘m a New Person.

You found a good combination of supplements for your body?

Precisely. That is what the "placebo effect" explains. People believe they are taking something that is efficacious when in fact it is not, meaning the perception of efficacy is psychological, not physiological.

tony torok plenty of such documentaries out there

Its canadian...were not influenced by pharma...we wont even let them advertise on tv!! ...

sun in canada during winter..?? right!!!

That's why I do take the sunshine vitamin D when the dark season comes along. Did see a docu or story about the Russians. They had these reclining chairs that tilted the body to the proper angle to get a bit more of the sunshine vitamin. I thought that sounded like a good idea.

Well maybe you are blessed to live in Florida or somewhere, but in Canada the sun isn't strong enough for many months a year! And it's cold and we are covered head to toe.

Whole grains are good source of carbs, minerals and vitamins.

Almost nothing is whole grain any more, but even if it were, minerals and vitamins are much more abundant in fruits and vegetables, and unlike grains, these are _not_ full of dangerous levels of carbohydrate (arguably your could overdose on fructose if you ate enough jack fruit, or something, I suppose). The amount of vitamins and minerals bio-available in the non-processed (whole) versions of the most commonly available grains (wheat, corn, rice) is negligible, and when these are processed the vitamins and minerals are virtually non-existent. However, I see Health Canada has slipped legumes into their grains category (based on commercial definitions, apparently, not scientific ones) just to help them justify their grain-flogging campaign. If they were concerned about health, they would specify which "grains" are healthy, and which should be limited to a minimal level of consumption. And as the documentary points out, they fail to certify that consumer products actually contain what they claim to, giving fatuous excuses like "we are not sure DNA testing is reliable." But their agenda is clearly not the health of Canadians, so I do not consider them a health authority. I would greatly prefer to get my information from independent researchers, but frankly I am more willing to listen to even anecdotal information from disinterested sources than anything this bloated, underachieving bureaucracy has to say.

where do you get whole grains from?

Japan is on the top spot, Canada on 12th, the difference in lived lives 1,5 years. No big deal.

They cause WAY more harm!!

Well, I am vegan myself, so I dissolve 500 mcg of b12(ampule for shots) in 6 litre water bottle from time to time, and couple drops of D2 vitamin oil solution in winter time when there is no sun, some lactose free probiotics. That is the only supplementation that I administer, the rest I get from whole plant foods. But for most people I believe supplemets must be prescribed by doctor, example with iron is very good indeed.

+D&Z Networks if you eat a balanced diet you do not need supplements. Unless you are an elite athlete working out strenuously about 15 hours a week. you need supplements if you have a physical problem otherwise probably do not need them.

She is vegan. B12 can only be found in animal foods. It would be extremely dangerous for her not to take B12.

Andrew Dzyhovsky I took Digestive Enzymes after my gallbladder surgery! It helped me to digest foods! So, some supplements are necessary for some people!

I think you are on the right track, Helen. Study is what it takes. A big problem today is the foods people eat. Vitamins and minerals are actually used up to a point in digestion of food; the wrong junk foods may use up what little they get from the few natural goods they eat.

Helen McCoy Thank you. The voice of reason. :-)

All our fruits and vegetables are Nutrient Deficient because of Soil Depletion, so it doesn't matter how much you use, you will still be deficient.

As the video pointed out, it's not that they don't care. It's that there is so much pressure on them from these companies and from regular people as well who have been duped by these companies' billion dollar campaigns.

Actually, we have it a lot better than the USA where each state is in charge of its laws and regulations. We have had caring health ministers and the laws and regulations are there. However, you are correct in that the govt has to come down on those who sell non-real foods. I'd like junk food heavily taxed. If the cheapest small bag of chips (about $1.50) were $3 by weight (~55gr), the larger bags would be prohibited in price for those with common sense. A small bag now and then isn't so bad. Call it a health tax.

That's so depressing!

Like practically every country in the world
