How many times have I heard a patient tell me "...but my old doctor said I don't need to take supplements because you get everything you need from your food."
Answer: too many times to count.
Here's the truth:
1) In a 2015 survey of all 133 US medical schools with a four-year curriculum about the extent and type of required nutrition education during the 2012/13 academic year, most US medical schools (86/121, 71%) were found to be failing in providing the recommended minimum 25 hours of nutrition education; 43 (36%) provide less than half that much. Nutrition instruction is still largely confined to preclinical courses, with an average of 14.3 hours occurring in this context. Less than half of all schools report teaching any nutrition in clinical practice; practice accounts for an average of only 4.7 hours overall. Seven of the 8 schools reporting at least 40 hours of nutrition instruction provided integrated courses together with clinical practice sessions.
2) On a daily basis, the average person consumes less than half of the recommended intake of fruits and vegetables that contain the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants necessary for sufficient methylation, metabolism, detoxification and cellular energy production.
3) Food is only as nutritious as the seed it comes from and the soil it's grown in.
