Get the antioxidants from plant foods.

My doctor told me to stop taking multivitamins. Never said why.

I was not clear whether the antioxidants were artificial or those naturally occurring in foods. It would seem almost impossible for me to get the right balance of nutrients without getting some antioxidants.

Antioxidants are IN Plant Foods so Eat the Whole Food.
Mostly Vitamins are like a Med.....Eat your vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients. It's all mumbo jumbo anyway. Everything for Life and Great Health is in an Apple or Almond and Everything for Poor Health and death is in Cookies and Sodas.....It's SO Simple that many people just don't get it.....How many people looking to lose weight make Authors, Drug Makers and So Called Diet Doctors RICH....it's a joke. It's not that hard to understand....it's just hard to do so everybody is looking for some short cut.....that just doesn't exist....

Thanks for the article Barry, If I put the two articles together the conclusion I get is that processed or artificial is not good. Don't worry about the antioxidants in your normal foods. Did I get it right?

I have been taking a lot of Tumeric thinking it would help my Stage 4 melanoma. I guess I am making it worse. We want to do things to help ourselves, so we have power over our situation, and it backfires! Thanks for the information everyone!

Terri, I got into turmeric when I substituted it for saffron in a Spanish dish. Saffron was yellow so I thought I thought "This turmeric is yellow ; saffron is yellow therefore I can substitute. Saffron even cheap saffron is expensive. I don't know if the dish was authentic but It was delicious. Now I can't cook without turmeric. I use it in soups, stews, chili, lentil dishes, and all bean dishes. I also add it to salad dressings. It also tends to give foods a golden glow. I certainly hope that I am not feeding any cancers I have running about

High Doses of curcumin can help cancer...look it up on PubMed and other places....
