Eating a small apple is more efficacious than quercetin supplements, and eating a piece of fish does more good than gobbling a handful of fish oil pills.<br /><br />I must say, at least as far as I am concerned, that while diet does help, it is definitely no panacea.Dunnyveghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831713999104638146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548560205914833324.post-17507724945368644962013-03-28T20:44:09.529+00:002013-03-28T20:44:09.529+00:00Thanks Stephen.
I have to say that over the year...Thanks Stephen. <br /><br />I have to say that over the years I too have also become a little weary of just 'popping vitamins' as a route towards good health. The fatty acid story is testament to the fact that not everyone seems to benefit from this particular cup of youth.<br /><br />Targeting and supporting what we have (whilst obviously ensuring that we have the RDA for everything - perhaps even from the food we eat rather than supplements!) does seem to be the more efficacious way of doing things.

Maybe NAC, a glutathione precursor, is a better choice (PMID 22342106).Stephen Boulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04170061924588693181noreply@blogger.com
