Guest guest Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Jim: you must be related to my husband! He laughs when I take my supplements, which include 3 chlorella tablets. (The guy at the health food store calls them " pond scum " ). But--when I miss my 3 chlorella tablets, I can tell. That's not the case with some of the other supplements. So laugh away-it's good for you.

While they are compact, two or three pills are never going to be equal to a serving of asparagus or broccoli. Also consider that when you take a pill, you bypass the normal chewing and digestive process. Certainly, a great deal is lost there also. I laugh when I see my wife taking three chlorella tablets and thinking that it is doing much for her health. On the other hand, I subscribed to Dr. Bruce Cambell's newsletter for a few years and saw how he cured many grave conditions using mainly whole food supplements. There is a rational for using them; however, anything can be taken to the extreme. I would say that any green veggie from my garden is most likely equal to about any food that you could find in nature. It grows from composted food scraps and humus soil that is full of earthworms... what more is there. Regards, Jim >It's a WHOLE FOOD!! I'm sorry I can't convey that to get people to understand that. It can't be compared to >isolated/synthetic pills. Whole Food - Fake Vitamin Pills - different. >Carol > > For all the wholeness and completeness of Carol's preferred algae product, the fact remains that the nutritional profile on the product website she provided shows that the recommended four capsule dosage contains almost negligible amounts of basic nutrients. People with critical thinking skills aren't going to overlook that. > > Sure, whole foods are great; the bulk of my diet is fresh whole foods. But, it would be really foolish to think that eating a scant one or two grams of any of those whole foods is going to magically confer super health benefits. So what if Carol's algae contains 20 amino acids; four capsules still only contain less than one gram of protein, which is a tiny fraction of any human's daily needs. A balanced diet containing a variety of natural whole foods will provide vastly more basic nutrients than four capsules of algae. It could be that there are other, unusual, health-promoting substances in algae beyond just basic nutrients, but promoting it on the virtue of its basic nutrients, when the recommended dosage contains very little of them, is ridiculous. ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
