Juice Plus+ Whole Food Nutrients Superior to Vitamins

Synthetic vitamins have been shown to actually increase the risk of certain conditions, which is why such supplementation as Juice Plus+® is recommend - because it is nutrients from raw, whole food fruits and vegetables. Now, the Bayer company must change the labeling on its vitamins because of this new research that shows adverse effects from consuming such synthetic vitamins over many years. Here's more --

Bayer will change the packaging and health claims for its vitamins targeted at men, on the heels of research that casts serious doubt on one ingredient's ability to prevent prostate cancer. In an E-mail, Bayer HealthCare spokeswoman Tricia McKernan said the company is "in the process of revising the packaging and promotional materials for its One-a-Day Men's and One-a-Day Men's 50+ to exclude reference to the qualified health claim regarding the relationship between selenium intake to the reduced risk of certain cancers."

The company's website seems to have already been changed; it says the men's vitamins provide "key nutrients to support heart health, eye health, and healthy blood pressure," plus ginkgo to "promote memory and concentration." There's no longer any mention of prostate health, and selenium isn't singled out as a key ingredient, though both vitamins still have 150 percent of the recommended daily amount of selenium. McKernan's E-mail said Bayer would not change the products' formulations.

Late last year, researchers halted SELECT, a clinical trial designed to see whether taking selenium and vitamin E might help prevent prostate cancer, after it became clear that neither nutrient had the desired effect. In June, the Center for Science in the Public Interest warned it would file a lawsuit against Bayer if it continued to promote its men's vitamins as a cancer preventative. ( Source )

Comments: What's really important to realize here, is that although there are studies that show negative effects from taking certain synthetic vitamins and minerals, Bayer ignores this information and instead will just stop making claims of cancer prevention. Wouldn't it be in the consumer's best interest to not just stop making the claim, but possibly take their product off the market? Of course not, drugs have more negative side effects than positive effects...so they're use to this sort of thinking.

If you're going to take a nutritional supplement, choose one that is made from a whole food fruits and vegetables, like Juice Plus+® .
