The World Of Supplements – E49We’ve been talking about nutrient density and bio availability in the soil, but with far from ideal nutrient levels in our food, more than half of Americans take dietary supplements. Much like foods, the nutrients in supplements may or may not be nourishing depending on how or out of what they are manufactured. We talk to John Willard about Willard Water, a supplement that increases the absorption of nutrients from foods and supplements. Later we talk to wellness coach, Jim Wilkin, who answers our question “do the vitamins and minerals in most multivitamins come from food?” Um, no. With so many supplements and multivitamins in health food stores now claiming to be whole food derived, can we expect that they are organic and sourced from non gmo ingredients? Listen and decide.

Sally Fallon and Liz Reitzig on the release of Farmageddon – E46SWAT type raids with guns aimed at unarmed families on small dairy farms? Confiscation of product and equipment with no proof of contamination, and no compensation for damage and loss? Is it because these dairy farms are just covers for drug operations or weapons stockpiling? Nope. They only produce raw milk. Uh-huh, a food that humanity has been consuming for hundreds of years before pasturization. Whoa now! better bring in the guns, this is dangerous! Or…could it be dangerous to one of the mythologies that industrialized large scale food production is built on? It’s the idea that food in it’s natural state is poisonous, and we must be protected from it. What if more people started drinking raw milk and experienced the health benefits? What, then, might happen to factory style dairy operations? Hmmmm.
