. . . expensive urine than cheap blood.

8. Do not take them on an empty stomach and of course take just--

is needed.

They absorb slower,and better, when taken on a full stomach.

15. I get nauseous without food

:puke:

2. If possible, it's better to get your vitamins and minerals from food.

They are absorbed by the body much more completely.

If your diet is for shit, then vitamins might help, and they can't hurt (unless you take too much).

5. What's the deal with the neon tho? n/t

9. It's mostly for winter use...

...writing one's name in the snow, that sort of thing.

3. Only if you take

too many. Your body will use what it needs and excrete the rest.

4. It's the lecithin

Pretend you are Luke Skywalker :evilgrin:

6. More than I already do?

At least I'm good at it!

[Richard D]

10. It's actually . .

the vitamin B2, or riboflavin that makes the urine yellow.

I thought it was just me or my liver was going south.

7. I was going to ask the same question!

Thanks for beating me to it. I just started on new vitamins, and I got really confused. :)

12. Vitamins or no vitamins

With the hybrisation, and synthetic fertilization, which are devoid of minerals , the conventional grains, vegetables, and food processing, refigned flours, etc are low in nutritive value. Commercial plant breeders went for quantity not quality. The important nutrients are minerals, they are a must first to absorb vitamins. Minerals first, especially trace minerals. Conventional foods have significantly lower , or no minerals, vitamins compared to biological, or organic foods, a fact, nutritive alalysis indicates. Open polinated corn has over 20 trace minerals, hybrid corn less than 8.If you want t good stero, you buy a good brand name, if you want good more nutritiuos food , then buy organic.

13. 13 mph tomato

tomatos bred to withstand the harvesting machinery - not for taste. And we've accepted these conditions!

14. I agree eating healthy is the way

After my dad died a few years ago and I am a few years from 50 I started thinking more seriously about my diet. When we moved here where there is a big Whole Foods store, I buy almost all my items there. Even before I would buy my produce in the organic section even if it cost more. Look at how much vitamins cost!!
