Here is a statement from http://www.iofbonehealth.org/facts-statistics that is typical of our broken way of thinking of health in this country:

"Fruit and vegetable intake was positively associated with bone density in a study in men and women. The exact components of fruits and vegetables which may confer a benefit to bone are still to be clarified (121,122)."

The thinking is that if we could just isolate the components in fruits and vegetables that are good for us, we could put those components in pills, then everyone could take them and we'd all be healthy. It just doesn't work like that. It is the combination of the thousands of chemical compounds in the fruits and vegetables that lead to health, not just a few "components." And it doesn't matter which components benefit us, how about we just eat the fruits and vegetables? It makes me sick.
