Prevent prostate cancer with this powerful vitamin-mineral combination

Last Friday, you saw how the mainstream press and conventional medicine have teamed up to undermine supplements. In that poorly done study, researchers said vitamins and minerals cause early death. But they didn’t limit their aggressive attacks to this one study. At the same time, they reported on another flawed study. This one suggested that vitamin E use might increase the risk of prostate cancer.

You can see the flaw in this study right in the publicly available abstract. The researchers conducting this study used synthetic vitamin E. They used alpha tocopheryl acetate instead of naturally occurring mixed tocopherols. That means the makers of the vitamin E did not balance it properly. Synthetics typically omit the more beneficial and protective gamma tocopherol.

Will supplements really cause you to die early?

Once again a scientific report is attacking your supplements. This time, a study says they might shorten your life! The study, released a couple weeks ago, continues to make news. But few are looking at the real truth of the report. Here’s what you need to know.

The report did an analysis of vitamin supplement intake on 38,772 older women over 22 years old. They found, of 15 supplements studied, that folic acid, vitamin B6, magnesium, zinc, copper, and multivitamins increased your risk of early death. But iron was the one nutrient that led the pack. Let’s look at how the study was done. Then I’ll give you my two cents.

The first real problem was how the researchers “measured” supplement intake. They based their measurements on just a few questionnaires sent to the 38,772 women. 

Is salt really bad for you?

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you’re having a wonderful time with friends and family. I also hope you’re eating plenty of great food. And I hope you’re enjoying it well-salted.

What? Am I crazy? Won’t salt give you high blood pressure and heart problems? That’s what they told me when I was in medical school way back in the 1960s. They told me that patients with heart disease, especially those with heart failure, need to be very careful to restrict salt intake.
