I am so interested in vitamins and am also a bit confused. I want to take what I need but really I just do not know the exact amounts that I need of each. I do know that I need to add vitamin D supplements and just bought some in fact. I take a daily multi-vitamin and I also take my Vidazorb OPC anti-aging probiotic every day. I also eat well I think with lots of whole foods. Thanks for the info on all of this and I will keep reading about what and how much to take of everything else!

I always thought this phrase was so true and so perfectly said...until we started taking our Vidazorb chewable probiotics. They say "you are what you absorb" which I think is even more accurate. Our family loves probiotics and after all the reading I have done on them - I am convinced that they play a vital role in our health!

Different doctors results may vary... I'm not sure why everything in the health industry is not standard where everyone can agree.

Finally, eat fewer calories overall for a healthier lifestyle.
Easier on the budget too.

The American Medical Association stated that, “Because the composition of high fructose corn syrup and sucrose are so similar, particularly on absorption by the body, it appears unlikely that high fructose corn syrup contributes more to obesity or other conditions than sucrose.”
According to the American Dietetic Association, “high fructose corn syrup…is nutritionally equivalent to sucrose. Once absorbed into the blood stream, the two sweeteners are indistinguishable.”
In 1983, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration formally listed high fructose corn syrup as safe for use in food and reaffirmed that decision in 1996.
This article confuses scientific research about distinctly different sweeteners, treating studies involving abnormally high levels of pure fructose as if they involved high fructose corn sweetener, which they do not. Peer reviewed research has shown that high fructose corn syrup and sugar are handled similarly by the body and have similar metabolic effects.
As many dietitians agree, all sugars should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced lifestyle.
