food supplements...is it good or bad for our bodies?

That would depend on many factors. There are food supplements that indeed help our body, nourishes it by providing the essential nutrients it needs. Most of these are derived from natural foods and then made into a capsule or tablet form. However, it is also interesting to note that before these supplements took the form they are, it undergone many processes and sometimes these processes can affect the potency or effectivity of it. Furthermore, there are also certain supplements that produce and adverse effect in the body when taken in at the same with a synthetic medicine so one must be considering this before taking a supplemental products as it may do more harm than good. The bottomline is, natural diet consisting mostly of fruit and vegetables is the best way to get optimum nutrients essential for the body.

I'm curious... was this seminar offering a product without binders or coagulants that don't absorb well? If not, what was their point? If so, they might have been just hawking their line by degrading anything else. So many doctors and nutritionists recommend supplements to offset our poor diets that I seriously question that they are actually harmful, and I'm usually suspicious! If we eat good food, and by that, I mean organic and local, then supplements may not do us much good, but most of us don't eat that way and our food sources are not as healthy as they were just a decade ago.

Well, it's completely safe to my knowledge to consume supplements. However, I would recommend taking the vitamins and minerals you need right from foods that you eat. You need fiber and water to help absorb your vitamins and minerals.
