Vitamin Cautions Explained

Precautions exist for Folic Acid, Selenium, Calcium, Zinc, Beta Carotene, Vitamins A, B1, B6, B12, C, D, & E. Why there are so many DESIGN FLAWS in multi-vitamin formulas may be a mystery to some, but after discovering the new vitamin reality presented on this website, the mystery will disappear. 

Have you heard this before?

New large study research found an association between higher vitamin B6 (>35mg) and B12 (>20 mcg) intakes with 50% increased risk of hip fractures. article The reason is unknown, but theories are offered! ref 

FUN FACTS

Plants and trees take in CO2 from the atmosphere to help growth. As CO2 levels increase from the burning of fossil fuels, volcano eruptions, ocean water temperature changes, and melting permafrost, plants and trees have been busy growing faster and larger. In fact this fun fact has lead to the re-greening of many non plant areas of the planet. NASA over the last decade has been measuring this effect from satellites in space taking pictures. article

So far, this re-greening has impacted an area twice the size of the continental United States with new plant and tree coverage. This will significantly slow down any climate changes as this new green area growth will absorb quite a lot of future CO2 emissions. This gives Nations more time to make and implement non CO2 energy changes. article

The Sun is due to flip poles within a year. Have to wait and see what the effects will be from the increased release of electromagnetic energy coupled with this event. Were the Northern Lights showing up in lower altitudes recently a beginning? article

Vitamin Rationale to take or not

There are studies with results on all sides of the vitamin supplement question. Here two sides are examined to further complicate the question about taking supplements or not to take supplements and just get vitamins from food.

 

  • STUDY 1: This study showed people who take multi-vitamin supplements have longer telomeres on DNA strand coils in cells than people who have not consumed supplements. Longer telomeres mean that the cells are younger and more responsive to challenges. Every time a cell divides, the DNA strands unwind and after duplication, they rewind forming two identical DNA strands. To prevent the strands from breaking during this process, a little bit of the telomeres at the tips of the DNA strands break off. Older cells reach a point after dividing a certain number of times when the telomeres are so short that they can no longer protect the unwinding DNA strands and they break causing the cell to die. ref  ref
  • It is of interest to note that cancer cells produce an enzyme to prevent telomeres from shortening when cancer cells divide, which they do very quickly to cause the rapid growth in some tumors.
  • STUDY 2: Another study on people consuming certain vitamins, B6, B12, and Folic acid, designed to show a positive affect on cardiovascular disease by reducing homocysteine levels. Even though homocysteine levels dropped, there was only a slight positive affect on CVD from higher folate and vitamin B6. The study also found a slightly negative influence of increased cancer risk. Many of the test people smoked, so the cancer that increased was lung cancer. Thus, smokers, especially males, should not consume supplements of B vitamins. But, check out the next study. ref
  • STUDY 3:  This study looked at B complex vitamins on Esophageal Cancer. While vitamins B1, B3, B6, and B9, reduced EC, higher vitamin B12 increased EC rate. ref
