Supplements certainly are an industry. They even own collectively, lobbying organizations that fight to keep them unregulated. It is one of their biggest lies. Believing supplement companies blindly is as foolish as trusting big pharma or oil companies.
And yes, too much vitamin C mutates DNA, which can cause cancer. The key is 'too much'. Like psych drugs, even vitamins have paradoxical side-effects, although they are only with overdoses. |
I don't believe supp companies blindly, I just think equating them with pharma is stretching things in the extreme.
I like John Oliver, but that video is all about about unchallenged robotic conventional thinking. If Oz or anyone said -- there is a new miracle drug on the market that cures XYZ, everyone would nod their head and obediently run to their doctor to get some. But mention something natural that is not "regulated" by the FDA, and everyone is programmed to smirk and make a joke. Joke's on them.
