hhe said its not the antioxidants that say blueberries contain that are beneficial but their way of communicating to your body to produce its own antioxidants (epigenetics)- not all supplements have this ability - a subtle yet important distinction imho because it crosses a rubicon. our body has inherent codes--language that has to be engaged -just throwing the kitchen sink att it --well iit tries to understand  our genes arre living portals thhat can evolve- |
This echoes what the author of "Minding my mitochondria" said, which was basically that she could never get the benefit of what kale, for example, contains by taking supplements.... one, because she would have to take something like seven hundred pills to get the same quantity of vitamin/mineral in the kale, and two, because the pills lack all of the other ingredients of the food (her example being kale) which she believes work synergistically in the body. Oh, and she also mentioned that foods have things in them that we dont' even know of yet. In other words, we could discover that blueberries have enzyme xyz which is critical to the proper function of something in the body. Seems reasonable to me. We don't know what all we don't know!
