I apologize for not having a citation, but I read years ago that the stereo image (left-hand---right hand)of synthetic vitamins is reversed, and they are bad for us.

A to help an eye problem because it could be toxic. She researched Vit. A and found out this ONLY applies to SYNTHETIC Vit. A, not natural Vit. A. Guess what this taught me?! I will never, ever, buy another SYNTHETCIC vitamin of any sort. The body doesn't recognize what to do with them and therefore doesn't utilize them properly, not to mention that synthetic vitamins can actually harm you." Synthetic vitamins are made out of petroleum by-products. The are not vitamins, but chemicals that look a bit like vitamins. Inuit eskimo indians consume 500,000-650,000 I.U.s of Vitamin A/day without any negative side-effects. There was a doctor in the Eastern US (I'll try to find his name) who used megadoses of Vit A to combat cancer (quite successfully). He gave his patients 3,000,000 I.U.s of Vit A/day without ever seeing any overdose symptoms. He stated that every overdose was with synthetic A. When I lived in the US, I regularly ingested 100,000 I.U.s of Vit A/day as a lifestyle for years. Here in Canada, I cannot get 25,000 I.U. Vit A (5,000 I.U is the maximum allowed). __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
