Habit #5: Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements

p80

"God provides all the nutrients we need in natural foods. The problem is that we don't eat the amount and variety of whole foods necessary to meet all our nutritional needs. We also have corrupted our natural food sources with depleted soil, polluted water, and chemical agents like pesticides. Today it's important to take vitamins and minerals as an insurance policy. However, they do not take the place of healthy eating. New spark plugs won't make your car run better if your forget to put gasoline in your car. And vitamins without good food are little value."
