"Sandra Hayes88, you're ruining my thread... please change your tone, or just move on."
Sandra Hayes88, there's no logic or actual argument to be found when you try to change someone's "opinion" that wasn't built on logic or arguments to begin with... honestly, don't bother trying to convince them anymore; people's mindsets shift eventually, and it's only a matter of time before everyone is cheering your side. 🙂 :clapping:
"My arguments come from someone who knows a bit more about nutrition than what you'll find in some random pamphlet."
Great, could you introduce me to him? 😎
Well, I suppose I should introduce him via my old professor. 🙂 👍

"For instance, if you eat fish, you don't need omega-3 capsules, because omega-3 fatty acids are a natural component of North Sea fish."
A quick correction to that inaccurate claim:
If you're eating oily fish 2-3 times a week (not just on Fridays), then omega-3 supplements aren't strictly necessary... but does anyone actually eat that much fish? Maybe you do.
"The main sources of Omega-3 are certain marine fish and seafood that aren't used frequently in the diet. The reasons lie in the higher cost of quality fish, the demanding preparation required, and the fact that many people simply prefer the taste of meat or cheese. To supply your body with enough Omega-3, you have to eat fatty fish or seafood at least three times a week. In Japan, every mother and pregnant woman takes Omega-3."
(For those who eat fish once a week, or not at all, or for those who don't have the time to prep fish, the solution is an Omega-3 supplement in the form of a simple, easy-to-swallow capsule.)
"You get your vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables. You get fiber from fruits, veggies, and whole grains too. Honestly, who are you trying to sell this to? Anyone truly looking out for their health can do it without magic potions. I stay healthy without any supplements, even though I have a predisposition for psoriasis. I had a flare-up on my elbow last year—probably from stress—but it's gone now. And I don't rely on 'natural' remedies. Sometimes I go out for drinks, and chocolate is my favorite food."
stress > vitamin and mineral deficiency > psoriasis
Relying solely on the vitamins and minerals found in produce is only one side of the coin; it's been proven that today's produce has 50-80% fewer vitamins than it did 10-20 years ago... and just last night, a neighbor mentioned she ate a disgusting orange that had absolutely no flavor or scent, which seems to be becoming the norm lately... why is that?
It's because our food has become incredibly depleted due to forced ripening, picking produce before it's ready, pollution from herbicides and synthetic fertilizers, and long-distance shipping requiring additives. 😢
"Plant supplements! Who makes them? Under what conditions? How do you know the ingredients match the label—if there even is a label? Or are they being packed by workers in a dirty warehouse somewhere?"
Why does that even matter to you? It's like asking how pâté is made... haha... have you ever actually stepped foot inside a brewery? Hehe... if only you knew everything that actually goes into what you eat and drink. 🙂
