Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 Hi, I have a college degree in clinical nutrition and I buy most of my supplements at Wal-Mart. The companies that sell the more-expensive vitamins and herbs always say that theirs is far superior for this reason and that reason. But what most people don't know is that the same supplements are made by just a few labs in the U.S. So, quite often, the product is exactly the same but it has a different brand label on it - one costing $4 and other costing $12. I do tend to gravitate towards the vitamins, minerals and herbs that have the LEAST amount of fillings and preservatives in them. I also think that the " natural " vitamins are probably advisable, but you can buy them at Wal-Mart, too. In the health supplement business, more expensive is not necessarily better. Pus, nowadays there is almost as much marketing " hype " in the health food industry as in the pharmaceutical industry. My two cent's worth, anyway.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 Hi Jim, Well that's good to know. Since you have a degree in nutrition do you have any suggestions on what vitamins and minerals are worth taking? I appreciate everyone's wonderful suggestions but I would be taking pills all day long if I tried everything that is suggested at this site. I know everyone is different but can you tell me what the must have vitamins are and the amounts. Thanks a lot. --- Hall <jimchristianhall@...> wrote: > > Hi, > > I have a college degree in clinical nutrition and I > buy most of my supplements > at Wal-Mart. > > The companies that sell the more-expensive vitamins > and herbs always > say that theirs is far superior for this reason and > that reason. > > But what most people don't know is that the same > supplements are made > by just a few labs in the U.S. So, quite often, the > product is exactly > the same but it has a different brand label on it - > one costing $4 and > other costing $12. > > I do tend to gravitate towards the vitamins, > minerals > and herbs that have > the LEAST amount of fillings and preservatives in > them.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 > i would like to know if freezing zucchini without cooking first is ok? would it contain bacteria if i just cut it up and froze it? Hi vanessa. Don't be concerned about bacteria, since freezing kills them anyway. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
