Nutrition

In the days before becoming a Kinesiologist, I had an occasion to visit a medical consultant regarding some particular condition—I genuinely cannot remember what it was. What I do remember is completing a questionnaire beforehand. One section asked what medication I was taking; I was only taking supplements, and that’s what I detailed. When reviewing the questionnaire, the consultant scoffed. Taking supplements was pointless; you could get everything you need from food. All you are doing is making “expensive wee.” I wondered if that was true. Can we get everything we need from food? Are supplements a waste of money?
