Toxic Vitamin Warning!

Vitamin warning!
Some nutritional supplements use hydrogenated oils as fillers

The next time you buy soft-gel vitamins, you'd better take a look at what's inside them. Would you be surprised if I told you that vitamin companies are taking one of the most toxic food ingredients known to mankind and putting it in soft gels as a filler? It's absolutely true. You can find it in vitamins and supplements in health food stores, grocery stores, price discount warehouse clubs, retailers and pharmacies all over the country and around the world right now. What toxic ingredient am I referring to? Partially hydrogenated soybean oil.

Today, anyone who follows nutrition knows that hydrogenated oils are extremely toxic. We know that, long-term, they will lead to cardiovascular disease and heart attacks. They can even encourage strokes. We know that they cause harm, sometimes irreparable, to the nervous system. We know that they interfere with the absorption of the essential fatty acids you need to maintain healthy cells, a healthy nervous system, healthy blood sugar regulation and many other functions.

Big Pharma manufactures vitamins, tooAnd yet, vitamin companies - the cheap ones - are taking this ingredient and putting it in soft gels as filler. And that's not the only ingredient they're putting in, either. Some vitamin companies are taking artificial colors - that's right, chemicals extracted from coal tar - and putting them in not only soft gels but in tablets and capsules, too.

Now, why on earth would a vitamin company do this? The answer is because some of these companies aren't at all interested in health. In fact, the dirty little secret of the nutritional supplements industry is that many of these companies are wholly or partially owned by pharmaceutical companies, so these vitamin manufacturers think they can standardize, process and manufacture vitamins in the same way they manufacture prescription drugs (which is an entirely unnatural process, by the way).

When companies manufacture prescription drugs, they really don't care what goes into them as long as the active ingredient is there. Prescription drugs, in addition to containing highly toxic chemicals that are supposed to be medicinal, also contain highly toxic fillers, colors and other additives that sometimes even counteract the intended effect of the drug. When those pharmaceutical companies decide to branch out into nutritional supplements because it's a hot industry, they, of course, carry over these same manufacturing practices to nutritional supplements. This is why you don't want to get your supplements from these mega corporations that are actually owned by Big Pharma. It's better to get something from smaller, more passionate companies.

I don't necessarily mean "mom-and-pop" shops, but I mean companies that are solely focused on health, even if they do happen to be commercially successful. Companies like New Chapter, Nature's Way, Now Foods, Garden of Life or Jay Robb Enterprises (which has outstanding whey protein, soy protein and egg protein products). These are a few of the many companies that seem to really care about health and they avoid using toxic ingredients, whereas many other supplement companies don't care at all what they put in there, as long as they can claim something on the label.

What you see is not always what you get

When you're buying a soft gel capsule, you would normally think that what goes inside that soft gel is what's stated on the label. It makes sense, right? So if the label on that vitamin bottle says "salmon oil," and you take out a soft gel and look at it, you would think it's filled with salmon oil, right? This is what most people think. This is common sense. But in fact, it is incorrect.

You might be amazed to learn this, but that soft gel may not be filled with salmon oil at all; it may have a miniscule amount of salmon oil in it, but the rest of it is just filler. It could be soybean oil, hydrogenated oils or some other form of filler. It could be something that's actually dangerous to your health, so you'd better read the ingredients labels on those vitamins, minerals and supplements, in addition to reading the ingredients labels on foods, as I've always recommended. Watch out! Just because you buy something that looks good on the label - something that claims to have flax oil, salmon oil or vitamin B in it - it doesn't mean it's actually good for you.

Synthetic vitamins are not good for you. You may have taken multi-vitamins for years figuring that they wouldn't hurt you. Unfortunately, research shows that taking them is actually worse than not taking anything if they are synthetic.

In 1941 research done by Dr. Agnes Faye Morgan at the University of California found that animals fed synthetic vitamins had toxic reactions or died more quickly of degenerative diseases compared to those fed whole foods. She stated that the enrichment of processed foods with synthetic vitamins may "precipitate conditions worse than the original deficiency."

A study of 29,000 Finnish smokers proved that synthetic vitamins increased death rates significantly enough to stop a 10-year study prematurely. The risk of cancer increased by 16% and there were more heart attacks, more strokes, and an 8% higher increase in the overall death rate
.
A Harvard study of 22,000 physicians reported no health benefits from synthetic vitamins. Other studies report toxicity and serious side effects. In one case, synthetic beta carotene blocked antioxidant activity and anti-cancer activity of 50 antioxidants in the diet.

In a Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center study, 18,000 American men and women at risk of lung cancer took a either a placebo or supplements of synthetic vitamin A. The researchers lead by Dr. Gilbert Omenn stopped the study in January 1996 because the group on supplements had a 28% higher incidence of lung cancer.

Most of the multi-vitamins and many of the individual vitamins on the market are made with synthetic vitamins. The profit margin is huge compared to whole food vitamins. But as you can see, not only do they not work, but they actually harm your health. Fortunately, there are a few multi-vitamins that do not contain synthetic vitamins.

That is TRUE. First Time Ever. There is a Food Form Vitamin that the Minerals are harvested from plants that are organically grown.

An article in the Vol. 71, 2000, edition of peer-reviewed Journal of Food Chemistry stated that plant-based minerals are much more easily absorbed by the body. The article referenced a study showing the body was able to use less than 10 percent of the synthetic minerals contained in the most popular brands of multivitamins. By contrast, the body was able to assimilate between 80 percent to 100 percent of the minerals derived from plants.

The hydroponics process was developed during the 1990s using Indian mustard, widely known as "nature's magnet" for its ability to absorb minerals from the soil. Growing Indian mustard using enriched hydroponic cultivation can significantly increase the number and amount of minerals concentrated in the plant's tissue.

A recent study showed that Indian mustard grown using enriched cultivation produced concentrations of iron, zinc and chromium many times greater than concentrations found in mineral-rich vegetables purchased from a local market. The enriched cultivation used for the vitamin called (PhytoMatrix) will provide optimum quantities of the most essential minerals.

In fact, a daily serving of PhytoMatrix will provide the same amount of minerals typically found in several pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables. The body uses minerals for many important functions, including the activation of enzymes, hormones and other molecules needed to sustain life.

In addition to plant-sourced minerals, PhytoMatrix will contain plant-sourced vitamins. When derived from the plant matrix, vitamins come with the beneficial fibers, sugars and organic acids that reside in natural matrices - providing the body with maximum benefit and functionality.

Describing the following synthetic vitamins as toxic is not an accusation so much as it is a logical consequence of letting the product ingredients speak for themselves.

A study of 29,000 Finnish smokers proved that synthetic vitamins increased death rates significantly enough to stop a 10-year study prematurely. The risk of cancer increased by 16% with more heart attacks, more strokes, and an 8% higher increase in the overall death rate.

A Harvard study of 22,000 physicians reported no health benefits from synthetic vitamins. Other studies report toxicity and serious side effects. In one case, synthetic beta carotene blocked antioxidant activity and anti-cancer activity of 50 antioxidants in the diet.

Bottom line every one that has been taking synthetic vitamins needs to DETOX ASAP! Why you ask? Because the TOXIC load of chemicals are still in the body and cells are replicating. Every day, and months that go by immunity will decrease.

The name brands listed here have some of the ingredients that you are about to read. In my opinion the children are the most vulnerable be cause their bodies have already been compromised with vaccinations and environmental toxins.

Ferrous Fumarate C4H2FeO4
Hazardous Substance Databank Number: 7348

Ferrous fumarate is the anhydrous salt formed by combining ferrous iron with fumaric acid and used as a hematinic (a preparation used to improve the quality of blood). Unfortunately, inorganic iron is pro-oxidative, stimulating the damaging effects in the body of substances known as free radicals..(1) There is evidence linking high inorganic iron intake to cardiovascular disease and cancer. Excessive iron accumulates in the liver, and may feed bacterial and viral infection.

Iron is found, in a healthy body, in the form of metalloproteins, because in exposed or in free form it causes production of free radicals that are generally toxic to cells. In its "free" form iron binds avidly to virtually all biomolecules so it will adhere nonspecifically to cell membranes, nucleic acids, proteins etc, causing substantial damage. When, for instance, iron binds with LDL, it oxidizes it, resulting in obstruction.

After all, how can something which is the #1 cause of death by poisoning of children under the age of 6, be safe for ingestion, at any dose?

Chromic Chloride CrCl3
CAS Registry Number: 10025-73-7
Although trivalent chromium like Chromic Chloride is far less poisonous than the hexavalent form, it isdefinitely a toxic substance, known to exhibit genotoxic, mutagenic, teratrogenic (reproductive hazard) and is on the Hazardous Substance list.

Its main use is in the metal industries for chromizing; in the manufacture of chromium metal and compounds; as a catalyst for polymerization of olefins and other organic reactions; as a textile mordant; in tanning; in corrosion inhibitors; as a waterproofing agent (Merck 1983, p.316).

Centrum contains 120 mcg (.12 millgrams) of chromic chloride, which according to Federal Drinking Water standards is above the 100 mcg per Liter limit for safe consumption.

Cupric Oxide (Copper)
Cupric oxide is generally considered a toxic substance in its unbound form. Virtually all copper in the body is present as a component of copper proteins. Unbound or inorganic copper produces oxidative stress in the body, catalyzing highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (Toxicology. 2003 Jul 15; 189(1-2):147-63) A study of men residing in eastern Finland, an area with high levels of copper in drinking water, established a positive correlation between serum copper levels and risk of acute myocardial infarction (Salonen et al., 1991).

Cupric oxide is the rock known as malachite. Its major industrial uses include: a pigment for glass, ceramics and porcelain glazes; in the manufacture of rayon; in sweetening petroleum gases; a catalyst in ammonia manufacture; a wood-preserving agent; insecticide; fungicide; miticide; molluscicide.

Centrum contains 2mg of cupric oxide, supposedly 100% of the RDA. And yet, Federal EPA drinking water standards consider anything above 1.3 mg per Liter to be a health risk. According to the EPA short term exposure amounts in excess of this standard can result in gastrointestinal distress, and long term exposure can result in liver and kidney damage.

OK! Take a short brake and read about a Natural Food form vitamin made with minerals harvested from plants. Many of us have been taking Vitamins since child hood and now some of us are married feeding our children the same synthetic vitamins that all along we though were safe.

After searching for the best Vitamin in the market place I found out about a new Food Form Organic Vitamin Supplement. There is no other like it. This is a new patented technology that uses Hydroponically grown plants for the purpose to extract the minerals in their most natural form.

We are so confident that you will LOVE our supplements that we will give you 180 Days 100% Satisfaction Money Back Guarantee. (That is a 6 months 100% Money back guarantee). You have nothing to lose and lots of Good Health to gain.
Many World Class Athletes are using our Food Form Natural Supplements: TeamMannatech.com

Just so you know 99% of the vitamins in the market have minerals that are harvested from ROCKS. It does not matter how a mineral from a ROCK has been processed and added to synthetic vitamins because the matrix of a ROCK will always be a ROCK and in most cases mineral absorption from a Rock will be 10% or less.

The New Food Form Organic Vitamin Supplement comes from The Plant Brassica Juncea-bound. These minerals in their most natural form have been shown to be more soluble than minerals in most over the counter multivitamins, suggesting that the minerals in this form are more bio-available to help the body absorb from 80% to 100% of the minerals.

OK! Now that you know there is a better way you can continue to empower your self about these TOXIC ingredients in synthetic vitamins sold in all stores.

Magnesium Stearate
Used to make large scale production tableting of supplements and drugs possible, this chemical excipient is produced through reacting sodium stearate with magnesium sulfate, in a way similar to the production of hydrogenated oils. Magnesium sulfate itself is a potentially dangerous substance whose Hazardous Substance Databank Number is: 664. Magnesium stearate is a hydrogenated oil, and like all trans-fatty acids is toxic.

Manganese Sulfate MnSO4H2O
The Material Safety Data Sheet classifies this chemical as a hazardous substance. Toxicological data indicates it is tumerigenic, mutagenic and teratogenic (adversely effects reproduction).

Nickelous Sulfate
Hazardous Substances Databank Number: 1114
Nickelous Sulfate is classified within the National LIbrary of Medicine's Hazardous Substances Data Bas (HSDB) as an animal and human carcinogen. It is classified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as immediately dangerous to Life and Health, and a potential occupational carcinogen. Its primary industrial uses are for nickel plating, as a fungicide, an anti-rusting agent, as a mordant for dyeing and printing textiles; coatings;ceramics. Nickelous Sulfate is produced by dissolving nickel oxide in sulfuric acid producing nickel sulfate hexahydrate.

How a toxic substance like this made its way into a product like Centrum is beyond my ability to comprehend when the Federal Drinking Water Guidelines allow for no more than 100 ug/l (equivalent to 100 parts per billion!), and it is considered a hazardous air pollutant generally known or suspected to cause serious health problems. The Clean Air Act, as amendeed in 1990, directed the EPA to monitor and restrict the emission of this toxic chemical.

Polysorbate 80
polyxoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, (x)-sorbitan mono-9-octadecenoate poly (oxy-1,2-ethanediyl)
Polysorbate 80 is a nonionic detergent which is often used in foods and supplements as an emulsifier. Polysorbate 80 is produced using ethylene oxide (which is known to cause cancer in rats). The industries that use this synthetic substance claim there is little to no research available demonstrating either its safety or toxicity, and yet it was shown to have an oestrogenic effect in rats, and it is known that following its exposure to oxygen it may produce free radicals generating peroxides and formaldehyde.

Toxic Vitamin ingredients List Part #2 of 2

Hey, I don't know about you but I stoped taking synthetic vitamins 20 years ago.

According to Dr. Andrew Weil, "The chemicals used to create colour are energetic molecules, many of which are capable of interacting with and damaging DNA. Anything that damanges DNA can injure the immune system, accelerate aging, and increase the risk of cancer. Indeed, many synthetic food dyes once considered safe have turned out to be carcinogenic."

And to think that many parents are literally poisoning their children because they have placed their trust on what they hear. I challenge you to investigate before you give anything to your children that you heard on TV or from some one else.

Silicon Dioxide
Silicon Dioxide function as an excipient keeps ingredients from getting too sticky, adds moisture and aids in the formation of tablets. It is found in nature as quartz, and is a major ingredient in the production of semiconductor chips, glass, ceramics & Portland Cement.

Although this chemical is known to have extensive acute, subchronic and chronic toxicities in animal studies, silicon dioxide is considered an acceptable food additive by the FDA.

This is primarily because of a lack of understanding the difference between silica found in food, or mammalian tissues, and inorganic forms. The qualitative difference is profound, and though theelemental silica content may be the same in a chard of glass and a piece of celery, the biological difference is as profound as the difference between life and death.

Sodium Aluminum Silicate
Hazardous Substance Data Bank Number: 5027
Aluminum Silicate (talc) is added as a lubricant to help speed the production of tablets. Aluminum has been known to be a neurotoxin for over 100 years, and today it is known to be a major causative factor in diseases like Alzheimers.

Sodium Borate (Borax)
Hazardous Substance Data Bank Number: 328
Borax is widely used in detergents, softeners, soaps, disinfectants, and pesticides. Although Borax is banned as a food additive in the United States, it somehow made it into Centrum.
Sodium Selenite
An inorganic form of selenium with known toxicity. Studies have shown it may cause tumors, genetic mutations, interfere with reproduction, and cause birth defects. Although it is an essential antioxidant when found in food as biologically active selenium, inorganic selenium as selenite has a pro-oxidative effect.

Stannous Chloride
According to the Medical Safety Data Sheet Stannous Chloride is a serious poison, which upon ingestion or inhalation can cause severe damage to the following organs: blood, kidneys, lungs, liver, upper respiratory tract, skin. It may be mutagenic, and may cause adverse reproductive effects and birth defects.

Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT)
2,6-DI-T-Butyl-P-Cresol
BHT is a synthetic compound patented in 1947. It received approval of the FDA for use as a food additive and preservative in 1954. BHT is suspected to be mutagenic and carcinogenic. BHT has been banned for use in food in Japan (1958), Romania, Sweden and Australia. The US has barred it from being used in infant foods.

Crospivodone N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone
HSDB Number: 205.
A synthetic homopolymer of cross-linked N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, Crospivodone, like many forms of vinyl, are not appropriate for human consumption and have demonstrated mutagenic/carcinogenc effects. Very little research has been done on the toxicity of this biologically unprecedented synthetic, however, animal studies showed this substance was carcinogenic, caused inflammation, pneumonia, and other adverse effects.

Just to give you a sense of how incredibly alien this stuff must be to the body, here is a
description from the Hazardous Substances Data Bank of how it is manufactured:
"Polyvinylpryrrolidone is prepared by Reppe's process: 1,4-butanediol obtained in the Reppe butadiene synthesis is dehydrogenated over copper at 200 deg C forming gamma-butyrolactone; reaction with ammonia yields pyrrolidone. Subsequent treatment with acetylene gives the vinyl pyrrolidone monomer." (The Merck Index, 1996., p. 1320). Keep in mind that intermediates in the production of crospovidone like "butadiene" are already known to have deleterious effects.

FD&C Yellow 6
disodium salt of 6-hydroxy-5-[4-sulfophenyl)azo]
-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid
FD&C Yellow 6 is a synthetic coal tar derived colourant that has the capacity for inducing an allergic reaction. Other reactions include gastric upset, vomiting, a rash similar to nettle rash and skin swelling. It is associated with ADD and ADHD. This colourant is prohibited as a food additive in Finland and Norway.

According to Dr. Andrew Weil, "The chemicals used to create colour are energetic molecules, many of which are capable of interacting with and damaging DNA. Anything that damanges DNA can injure the immune system, accelerate aging, and increase the risk of cancer. Indeed, many synthetic food dyes once considered safe have turned out to be carcinogenic."

Potassium Iodide
Chronic overexposure can have adverse effects on the thyroid. According to the Material Safety Data Sheet Potassium Iodide indicates that tests on laboratory animals produced adverse mutagenic and reproductive effects.

Sodium ascorbate
The Material Safety Data Sheet states that sodium ascorbate may affect genetic material (mutagenic) based on animal tests. It is believed that chronic effects in humans include damage to the kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, and upper respiratory tract.

Sodium Benzoate
Sodium benzoate is a synthetic preservative which has been shown to have an antibiotic effect on the essential friendly gut flora. Possibly the largest use of sodium benzoate is as an anticorrosive, and antifreeze additive, and in the production of plastics and as a stabilizer in photographic baths/processing.

Sodium Metavanadate
Metavanadate is a form of vanadium with known toxicity when ingested or inhaled. It is a skin, eye and respiratory irritant. Although the toxicity for vanadium is considered low when administered orally, long term effects have not been studied. It affects lungs, kidneys, immune system, cardiovascular system and nervous system.

Sodium Molybdate
According to the Material Safety Data Sheet this substance should not be inhaled or ingested. Chronic use is believed to cause reproductive effects and birth defects based on animal data.

Titanium Dioxide
According to the Material Safety Data Sheet Titanium Dioxide is mutagenic for mammalian somatic cells,and may cause damage to the following organs: lungs and upper respiratory tract. Its chronic ingestion is considered possibly carcinogenic based on animal data.

Zinc Oxide
Zinc oxide is not the same kind of zinc you get from oysters, or other foods. It is entirely inorganic, and has demonstrated mutagenic and teratrogenic effects in animal studies. It is produced through vaporization of metallic zinc and oxidation of vapors with preheated air (French Process). (Merck Index, 1996, p. 1734). Its main uses are for pigments in paints, reflective agent in sunscreen, manufacture of glass, automobile tires, white glue, matches, porcelains, flame retardant, plastics, rayon, lubricants, fabrics, etc.

OK! Now that you are well informed it is time for a mind set change to more natural whole food vitamin supplements. Remember that you are what you eat or you will become what you eat - a walking Toxic load of chemicals high breed human.

Bottom line every one that has been taking synthetic vitamins needs to DETOX ASAP! Why you ask? Because the TOXIC load of chemicals are still in the body and cells are replicating. Every day, and months that go by immunity will decrease being set up for sickness and disease so that you will become pharma dependant for the rest of your natural life.

Prevention is the key to optimal health, but you must eat supplements in its most natural whole food form. Be sure and take a look at this site:
