104 Why Doctors Don't Like Natural Dietary Supplements

We often see statements like, "My doctors says I don't need supplements," or "Just eat a healthy diet and you'll get all the vitamins and minerals you need!"And while these sentiments are well meaning, they aren't backed up by science. Every time I see these statements, I ask the people if they are willing to share the results of the test showing that they don't have any vitamin or mineral deficiencies. And every time the answer is predictable... they have no evidence they have no deficiencies.Yet every testing lab in the country will tell you that all the tests show deficiencies, sometimes bad ones.
