Why you need a handful of this in the morning
9th June 2009
• The great vitamin can of worms
reopened AGAIN!
• Why this piece of government health
advice is outdated
• How to top up your daily vitamins and
minerals with a handful of this every
morning: Food State
The topic of today's letter was picked because of
overwhelming demand.
Really, I've been surprised by the volume of emails
I've had about this subject. It seems that when I
wrote about vitamins a few months ago, I opened a
huge can of worms.
(Not literally a 'can of worms' of course. If I were to
eat worms I certainly wouldn't go for the canned
variety. I'd pick fresh worms and advise Good Lifers
that natural was best!)
Before I reveal an extraordinary piece of new
information I've found about this, let me recap for
you...
How the Great Vitamin Debate began...
Back in February I wrote a letter about how to get
the most vitamins and minerals from your daily diet.
My point was that too many people (myself
included) don't put enough effort into trying to keep
their diets varied and packed full of fruit and veg.
After this email I received a deluge of comments
and criticisms. The suggestion that I was being a bit
idealist and optimistic about getting all my nutrients
from 5aday.
Me...idealistic?
Tell me that when I'm living in my pure air, taxfree
vegetation pod in the clouds! Then you'll be sorry!
Anyway, many readers rightly pointed out that not
only was life far too complicated, hectic and crazy
to achieve this perfect diet...but ALSO that the
quality of natural food these days simply wasn't up
to scratch.

Why?
• Because the modern farming preference
for high yields over nutritional quality has
lowered the nutrient levels in our food.
• Because heavy industrial farming has
depleted the level of active nutrients in
the soil.
• Because plants have been bred to withstand
pests and disease and last during long
overseas journeys. But it's the elements
that make plants decompose faster and
make them attractive to pests that also
make them healthy.
• And finally, because modern transportation
methods mean that food is carted half way
across the globe, and then shoved on a
supermarket shelf for WEEKS before you
get to eat it.
All this is very true.
So I went off and did some more thinking and
reading. (This is my usual response to criticism.
Just ask my constantly infuriated wife!)
I decided I agreed with these statements... even
though I still felt I should encourage people to eat
as much natural, fresh locally sourced fruit and veg
as possible.
I also realised that the government's 5-a-day
wisdom could be hopelessly outdated. |
Why this mainstream advice is old hat
A newspaper article in the Daily Express on
February 12th 2009 reported the views of natural
health expert Dale Pinnock. He told the paper:
'The current five-a-day recommendations are
based on standard dietary guidelines written 40
years ago, when the soil was richer in vitamins and
minerals. Now, because of intensive farming
methods and increased pollution, fresh fruit and
vegetables don't contain nearly enough nutrients.'
His view was that the only way to address this was
for people to take daily supplements.
Many readers agreed.
And that got me thinking...
If people need and want to top up their daily dose of
nutrients with supplements... what would be my
ultimate recommendation? What are the best
supplements to take?
And if we think of natural food as the 'ideal', what's
the next best thing to food?
Many readers have asked me to look into this. And
after lots of research, I've found something I think
you'll like....
The benefits of Food State Technology
I've found a type of supplement that ticks all the
right boxes, as far as I'm concerned.
It's called 'Food State'. And it has been specially
developed to work like real food, with the same
active properties.
Research studies have shown that Food State
vitamins and minerals are better absorbed into the
body, and therefore don't get flushed right through
your body.
If you take a look at this website, you'll see the
whole story, plus a list of the studies carried out:
Food State |
Here are just some of the findings as reported on
the website:
• One study showed the benefit of Food State
vitamin C lowering cholesterol in the blood
stream and significantly inhibiting
atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)
therefore decreasing the risk of coronary
disease.
• Another showed that Food State Vitamin C
is significantly more bio-available (easily
absorbed by the body) than ascorbic acid
(isolate vitamin C)
• Another study outlined how Food State
vitamin C can be used to reduce the risk of
complications in diabetes.
• And another study showed the effectiveness
of Food State vitamin C at reducing the risk
of colorectal cancer.
This looks to be a winning form of supplement. It's
high quality, it's designed to be absorbed into your
body more quickly and effectively that regular
supplements. And rather than giving you one
vitamin or another, it comes as a fully
complementary package you can take every
morning without hassle.
All the elements are design designed to work
together to give you bets possible nutritional top-up.
All the information is on the website below. You can
also try Food State supplements out for 30-days
with a full refund if you're not happy. So there's
nothing to risk by trying it out.
Well worth a look. Click here for the details:

And finally...
Why I'm like a sad old train with nowhere to go
I realise that it's very strange me writing to you on a
Tuesday.
To explain... the email broadcast system I use was
having 'maintenance repairs' at the weekend. So
while I could write this email, I couldn't send it out to
everyone.
For a newsletter writer this is like having a train...
but no track to run it on!
But I'll be back as normal on Friday.
