One, I am skeptical of the effectiveness of nutritional supplements.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not a big believer in vitamins and all that stuff.
The vast majority of studies say anti-aging supplements don't work.
I am a nutritionist's nightmare.
Millions of Americans today are taking dietary supplements, practicing yoga and integrating other natural therapies into their lives. These are all preventive measures that will keep them out of the doctor's office and drive down the costs of treating serious problems like heart disease and diabetes.
The bottom line is that there is a lot more that could and should be done to help people with nutrition and exercise.
I'm not an environmentalist, or a doctor, or a nutritionist.
We will continue to do all we can to protect the public health against these dietary supplements that have been found to cause serious illness and injury.
Millions of Americans take vitamins safely every day, including me. Vitamins and mineral supplements taken in recommended doses are safe. It's the designer supplements that are worrisome.
I have appeared on 'The Dr. Oz show' and recognize that Dr. Oz does not hold the exact same viewpoints about all controversies in human nutrition that I do, but he has a huge base of knowledge and is open-minded and willing to re-consider a position based on emerging evidence on multiple scientific and health issues.
I'm all about the supplements. I take fish oil every single day, as well as vitamin D, magnesium, B complex, vitamin C.
