 The final step in food processing is the addition of vitamins and minerals, to make up for what was lost during the initial heat-stripping phase. In an ironic sense, food processing might be defined thus: taking a food from nature, removing everything natural from it, then adding preservatives, dyes, bleaches, flavors, emulsifiers, and stabilizers to make it taste, look, feel, and smell like what it was originally supposed to be, but no longer is. The resemblance is there, but little else remains. |

 This uptake was enhanced by vitamins A and C as well as salts of zinc and selenium. The quantity of cesium taken up was sufficient to raise the cell to the 8 pH range... Tests on mice fed cesium and rubidium showed marked shrinkage in the tumor masses within two weeks. In addition, the mice showed none of the side effects of cancer. Tests have been carried out on over 30 humans. In each case the tumor masses disappeared. Also all pains and effects associated with cancer disappeared within 12 to 36 hours; the more chemotherapy and morphine the patient had taken, the longer the withdrawal period. |
| Prasad and Rita Kumar at the University of Colorado, report that multiple high-dose antioxidants are essential for a maximal reduction in cancer incidence among high-risk individuals and that the use of one or two vitamins may be ineffective or even harmful. [Nutrition Cancer 26: 11-19, 1996]
Antioxidants: Cell protectors
Head and neck cancer patients who took 400 units of vitamin E for three years following radiation treatment were at greater risk for secondary tumors (288% increase) compared to patients who did not supplement with vitamin E. |
| They think Mike's melanoma was caused by taking vitamins. So many people hear TV reports or read articles in newspapers that high-dose vitamin C causes cancer, and even though these reports are later found to be in error, they leave an indelible impression upon the people who first heard them. So few Americans realize how many negative reports about nutritional therapy are planted in the news media. |

E-mail from a breast cancer patient
/ have a healthy lifestyle, take vitamins. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 8/19/05 - stage 2 Lumpectomy performed on 9/26/05 and sentinel node procedure. Scheduled first chemo treatment 11/2 - cancelled - blood clot...due to injury to foot-they believe.
Just came home from hospital yesterday - as they found the blood clot had not moved... thought there might be an infection due to a cortisone shot 10/31. All I know is that from the beginning I did not want chemo but decided do the first treatment... |
| The survey found:
13% of Americans age 18-35 years take supplements to lower their risk for cancer
24% of Americans age 55 to 64 and 54% over age 65 took vitamins with the specific aim of lowering cancer risk. [Reuters, August 31, 2000]
What cancer patients face when they elect to utilize alternative therapies
An Australian study found 4 in 10 cancer patients did not discuss the alternative therapies they used with their doctors. |
| He turned his back on chemotherapy and elected for megadose vitamins, a raw food diet and other alternative cancer therapies. A world renowned meyloma expert courteously, but firmly told Gearin-Tosh that "nutrition has no place in the treatment of cancer." Eight years later his cancer saga was revealed in the New York Times. Though weak, anemic, and with brittle bones, he was alive. [New York Times, May 12, 2002] Some people can live for up to /years or more with multiple myeloma, but median survival is about 3 years. Gearin-Tosh lived for 12, without the harsh chemotherapy. |

 Preventive Services Task Force concluded that clinical trials have "failed to demonstrate a consistent or significant effect of any single vitamin or combination of vitamins on incident of or death from cardiovascular disease."6 At the same time, studies of vitamin A failed to show any efficacy in cancer reduction; indeed, unexpectedly, various studies seemed to show that supplements caused some increase in cancer.
There were two possible problems with the HOPE study. First, it was claimed that the time span of the study, 5 years, was too short. |
| Vitamin E, along with vitamins A and C and Selenium, were "antioxidants," that is, they supposedly neutralized the toxic result of oxidation (so-called free radicals) thereby preventing cell damage and subsequent malignant transformation. At the same time they seemed to reduce LDL and diminish arterial clotting, theteby diminishing cardiovascular damage.
It seemed to be too good to be true. By the year 2000, about 12% of all adults (some 24 million people) in the United States consumed megadoses (400 IU) supplements of vitamin E daily. |

| In addition, it is extremely nutritious, containing high levels of protein, vitamins A and C, thiamine, and trace minerals including copper, zinc, iron, tin, calcium, potassium, aluminum, sulfur, germanium and selenium. Garlic is a noteworthy antibiotic against bacilli and germs that cause any number of ailments. One mg of its major constituent, allicin, is estimated to equal 15 standard units of penicillin (32).Garlic's use during the great plague of Europe was therefore a wise course of action. |

 What Are vitamins? -
The term vitamin applies only to a specific group of organic :ompounds—those composed of chains of carbon, hydrogen, and ixygen in various arrangements, augmented sometimes with nitro-;en, sulfur, phosphorus, and occasional other chemical elements— lat medical science has shown are necessary to life. For us to say lat a substance is a vitamin, it has to be something your body re-uires for good health and normal functioning—in other words, ou've got to take it into your diet regularly in some amount, how-/er small, or you will become ill. |

 People following this type of treatment also often use a variety of approaches to detoxify their bodies and then work to restore them with vitamins and supplements to boost health and strength.15
Does raising pH really kill cancer? In 1984, A. Keith Brewer, founder of the Brewer International Science Library, conducted experiments on mice and humans to study the effect of high pH therapy on cancer.16 The tumors in the mice shrank substantially within two weeks. |

 This owed partly to the fact that, as was already understood by the 1930s, the processing of foods typically robs them of nutrients, vitamins especially. Store food is food designed to be stored and transported over long distances, and the surest way to make food more stable and less vulnerable to pests is to remove the nutrients from it. In general, calories are much easier to transport—in the form of refined grain or sugar—than nutrients, which are liable to deteriorate or attract the attention of bacteria, insects, and rodents, all keenly interested in nutrients. |
| Not surprising, given that his preparation lacked any vitamins or several essential fats and amino acids.) That Liebig might have overlooked a few little things in food also began to occur to doctors who observed that sailors on long ocean voyages often got sick, even when they had adequate supplies of protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Clearly the chemists were missing something—some essential ingredients present in the fresh plant foods (like oranges and potatoes) that miraculously cured the sailors. |
| The entire history of baby formula has been the history of one overlooked nutrient after another: Liebig missed the vitamins and amino acids, and his successors missed the omega-3s, and still to this day babies fed on the most "nutritionally complete" formula fail to do as well as babies fed human milk. Even more than margarine, infant formula stands as the ultimate test product of nutritionism and a fair index of its hubris.
This brings us to one of the most troubling features of nutritionism, though it is a feature certainly not troubling to all. |
| And what would "negative health" be exactly?) vitamins had brought a kind of glamour to the science of nutrition, and though certain elite segments of the population now began to eat by its expert lights, it really wasn't until late in the twentieth century that nutrients began to push food aside in the popular imagination of what it means to eat.
No single event marked the shift from eating food to eating nutrients, although in retrospect a little-noticed political dustup in Washington in 1977 seems to have helped propel American culture down this unfortunate and dimly lighted path. |

| Praise is warranted because of its excellent combination of silicones, glycerin, emollients, soy-based antioxidants, vitamins, and skin-identical ingredients, all in packaging that keeps the vulnerable ingredients stable during use. The mineral pigments in this cream produce a slightly reflective (what Aveeno refers to as "brightening") effect on skin, which can cosmetically blur dark circles—but the effect is gone if you stop using the product. This works best when paired with a good concealer.

| Then I have included a discussion about what vitamins and minerals are and how they generally work in the body. I have tried to keep the science and chemistry of it to a minimum, which may bore the chemistry buffs to tears, but should be enough to give readers of a less chemically scientific bent a clearer understanding of what's going on. Sections on nutraceuticals, antioxidants, free radicals, eicosonoids, and the importance of macronutrients on the effect of the micronutrients should bring you up to speed on the hotbeds of current research areas. |

 GM Additives, Cooking Aids, vitamins, and Enzymes
Genetic engineering is used in the production of many food additives, flavorings, vitamins, and processing aids, such as enzymes. According to the Non-GMO Source, "Such ingredients are used to improve the color, flavor, texture, and aroma of foods and to preserve, stabilize, and add nutrients to processed foods. The number of minor ingredients that may be derived from GM sources, such as corn or soy, or produced using GMOs is vast."11
Among vitamins, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is often made from corn, vitamin E is usually made from soy. |

| In deference to accuracy or to avoid confusion, the pioneers of nutritional research decided to drop the final "e," creating the name by which we call them today: vitamins.1
Each disorder and the vitamin deficiency that causes it has a unique and interesting place in medical history, replete with the missed clues, false trails, and serendipity with which the advancement of medical knowledge often stumbles and bumbles forward. I ask you to thumb through the pages of nutritional history with me now as we examine the Big Four dietary deficiency disorders in turn. |

| Sometimes the cracks develop from deficiency or ovemse of certain vitamins; sometimes they occur because of infection with yeast fungus (usually Candida, the same yeast that causes diaper rash and vaginal itching), or occasionally from bacterial infections (such as impetigo). The cracking brought on by bacterial or fungal infections will require specific treatment with antibiotic or antifungal medications or ointments, but certain nutrients can help speed healing these painful cracks and in some instances be the cure for them. Let's take a look.

 Explanation for Fact 1: Flintstones vitamins did not exist prior to the 1960s. (The Flintstones television show debuted in I960.1*) Earlier generations who did not take Flintstones vitamins (because they did not exist when they were young) have lower divorce rates than more recent generations.
Explanation for Fact 2: One-year-olds have very small feet and very little knowledge. Two-year-olds have larger feet and more knowledge. Ten-year-olds know much more and have much larger feet than babies. Get it? |
| Fact 1: Those who were given Flintstones vitamins as children are more likely to divorce as adults than those not given Flintstones vitamins.
