I agree with this, since my own circumstances are such that I seem to have eroded some of my systems with stress. As a result, I do best when I supplement more niacin than I could get from food, more D3 than I can get from sunlight, and more protein than my challenged system can digest without some help.
Nutrient dense foods are the base we build the rest upon.
Every time I've embarked on a shift in my low carb eating pattern, I tracked the first few months, and my profile was always above the RDA. Actual food has other stuff -- beyond multivitamin -- like micronutrients and others yet undiscovered.

The organic has everything. |
