Vitamins and Supplements: Magic Pills - the fifth estate
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 гру 2015
- As many as three out of four Canadians use natural health products. From herbal remedies to minerals, vitamins and other supplements, it’s a billion dollar industry that includes everyone from Big Pharma to Mom and Pop operations. They're products packed with promises, but what’s actually in the bottle? Could we be taking too much? And could they actually be harmful to your health?

14.30. she clearly didn't expect that kind of question, and just gave some BS answer.
i went to see nutritionist, she prescribed me 5 to 6 different supplements from her company, i was like 'this is BS!'. that was clearly she was trying to sell her pills.
i am healthy now without taking any of her pill.
33:00 so he is saying that he didn't do any study on the product's health effects but he knows it's effective because he wouldn't put it out there if it wasn't effective. I think you should go into comedy, buddy.
my buddy owns a health food store,sells every kinda potion,herb,vitamin,etc,u could think of,and he confides, what a joke it is, and he laughs, all the way to the bank,every single day,with armfuls of cash and a great big smirck on his face

I guess you just lost you're only friend now.
That is how the nutraceutical industry works.
kwokshsee: I had to edit to write your name to make sure that I agree with you: Exactly, I thought the same so what choice do we have? Food? that, too, most of them poisoned. That means we shall starve.
Too much Vitamin D will cause hypercalcemia which will cause calcium blockages in the heart arteries and hence a heart attack. Vit D3 needs to be taken with Vit K2 to put calcium into the bones, not the bloodstream.
Yes Sir. Makes sense. Thank you
So ironic that we need to take vitamins to replace the vitamins taken out of food by the processing manufacturers.
Yeah.... money money money.
I don't even know why people need vitamins all u need is eat good food that's all
Because here in wintertime there is no fresh fruits!
@@aminuaidara8601 and where is the nutricional foods these days?
Reject processed foods and predominately eat whole foods plant based. In the winter, eat frozen fruits and veg or Canadian brown root vegetables and brassicas like cabbage and kale when price or availability is an issue. Frozen also got me through the pandemic when I only went to the store once a month. That being said, in Canada if you don’t go outside, vitamin d still needs to be considered, just not in the mega amounts often offered.
give this lady a cookie... i love her stories
I’m so glad this came across my screen 📺.
Pregnant women need folic acid. Many people need calcium, iron, and vitamin D. Many people do not eat their veggies and need more. Vegan's need B12. Everyone is different. I have COPD and take carnitine and nac. It helps me
I get my vitamins from fruit, vegetables, nuts & grains + a B12 supplement weekly & I am 92 & never been sick . No animal products for me.
Saved by jesus christ ?
Why B12 supplement?
@@snake1625b B12 is made by the bacteria in the soil. We no longer consume this bacteria with our food and water due to sanitation so we need to supplement. Meat eaters get it recycled from the animals (who are ironically supplemented with it as well). Plant based eaters need to take a B12 supplement directly. :)
Yes! Plant based whole foods for the win! 2 years pbhf and in the best health I've ever been 🌱💚
@@snake1625b It's popularly believed that older adults can't absorb B12 properly. In fact, only about 20% (1 in 5) have this problem. Yet most doctors recommend all their older patients take a B12 supplement, without bothering to identify a problem first. Doses of 1000 mcg or more (400 times the recommended daily allowance) are usually suggested. My wife's doctor pulled this stunt and I hit the roof when I found out. It turned out she did NOT have a deficiency. That doctor was playing Russian roulette with her health.
I remember my mother giving me cod liver oil, spoonfuls, when I was small, guess that was bad too? I'd rather take my chances with vitamins than some of the thousands of pharmaceutical products that are recalled each year. But people should choose careful what they are and how much they are ingesting into their bodies.
!
God forbid people taking some vitamin supplement and actually become healthier as that could cut into the profit share of big pharma. Who's gonna buy med if everyone is healthy??
These ARE unregulated pharmaceutical products 😂
No. The old cod liver stomped out ricketts which was a dreadful childhood deformity. Your mum did good. It's not needed now due to the abundance of food but some scandinavians still use it due to 6 month winter's devoid of sunlight. It was replaced with vitamin d in the west.
Before taking supplements, thoroughly examine your diet and its nutritional content.
That way, you can rule out what you absolutely do NOT need to ingest more of. My diet for example, is pretty low in magnesium.
So I know that I need to compensate for that - either by adjusting my diet or taking (an appropriately proportioned) supplement.
Does anyone else not wonder how come in 2019 we still don't have a clue what is good and bad for us or what the exact amount of vitamins we need.
@cat Stapleton The BEST response I have heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@riyyahd8442 lmao i hope you're being sarcastic
Nowadays it’s very hard to believe anyone from the nutrition industry. Everyone saying different outcome with different food and supplements. However, I am over 40. I got positive out come with high power (7000 iu d3 +k2). If we get sunlight our skin creat 20,000 iu d. So lil bit high dose of d3 with k2 is not a problem. However, if you got cold and flue take high dose C . With in two days ..you will be clear. D, k2, zink, C and magnesium this safe me from Australian flue. It’s my personal experience.

So you mean we don't need chiropractors !
Kamran Khan he was a chemist first! You have selective hearing!
With glyphosate all of our food has become toxic by omission > of all the vitamins and minerals necessary for the proper operation of our immune systems. Also when is Health Canada going to test all vaccines for safety and effectiveness and publish the results.
Anyone from outside Canada also hooked on the Fifth Estate? Texas here
Europe:)
If the food that is being produced wasn't vitamin and mineral deficient we wouldn't need these remedies!
That is true too for some people for sure ….
I love this channel and I am thankful for the exposure. Our people are being robbed of good health all in the name of a fancy, fast life. The world needs to know that the closer we stick to nature, the better it is for our health. Our heavenly Father loved us enough to give us what we need and the love of money is ruining that for us quite well. Our heavenly father cries for his people who are suffering from a lack of knowledge. A big thank you from the Caribbean!!!!!
Taking more than the recommended dose of vitamin D means I don't fall into a horrible depression every winter. It makes things more tolerable.
THere's the other problem that agricultural soils are badly degraded and there is simple not as much nutrition in industrial food as there used to be.
This show also conflicts with what I was hearing and witnessing 10 years ago where many natural health products were being banned from Canada right and left, the reason seeming more to do with decreasing pharmaceutical competition than "preventing harm".
Tomatoes for example are not grown in soil, they are in a water solution under tarps. Same with other mass production of food. If people really knew what they are eating, they would be horrified. A lack of nutrients is just one of the problems.
They don’t want you to take vitamin D so you can can their chemical medicines and stay mental fatigued
If you eat a balanced diet, you don't really need to self medicate with vitamins and stuff that your doctor didn't prescribed.
Exactly
Even Drs can't prove that the drugs they prescribe you is really good for you
as if your MD knew anything about HEALTHY EATING, you so funny
natureboy tom your so silly what makes you think that the supplement s are any safe ?, there’s nothing wrong with the soil eat real foods supplements are bad
+oyinbo peppe:
"Vitamin levels in food these days are so low that it would take impossible amounts of food to eat every day to make up for the deficiency. "
==What is your source for that information?
I remember going to my GP for some stuff and just randomly asked if maybe there's something i could take to improve my immune system, since it was failing me a bit at that time. You know what she said to me? She was like "the best thing is, just have enough sleep and rest, eat properly and it will show the biggest difference". TBH i never really was big on all that BS, except when my mom would go for one or the other. But she wasn't huge on those either. I tried taking certain stuff for skin, hair and nails, but never really saw any difference.
because they don't work.
So your doc gave you excellent advice and you blew her/him off?
I took vitamin D for years until I researched the internet and found that it causes Hypercalcemia which can cause the problems I am having with the urge to urinate when my bladder isn't full----getting up three times a night to pee
about a tablespoon at a time!
Did u take vitamin d with vitamin K2?
@@gitismita418 no----with Glucosamine Sulphate and Vitamin B
The problem is , you ask 10 doctors , you get 10 different answers .
True
I have been so overwhelmed around my vitamins... Other than magnesium, a bit of d with K2 I am throwing the rest away. I will look into the potassium though.… CBC, thank you.!! So in depth, and not scared to be direct. I've not found anything else so informed.… The world needs to see this.…… Now, if you can press the FDA to share just exactly how they go through a process of approving these vitamins
Depends how they make vitamins. It's not problem herbs, it's problem if they mix some chemicals drugs with herbs.
Thank you for this. I would agree, moderation in everything, I think its the key ...
The problem with vitamins is people don't want them regulated for risk of increased cost as we know what happens with the cost of medication, but at the same time not regulated the vitamins don't always have what they are claimed to have. Who do we trust?? That is the key word ... TRUST. People do NOT have Trust in Health Canada or in the ones who profit from the selling of such products.
Ever heard of Forever Living Products??
@@sambawellnesshub no never heard of it can you please explain thank you
The law should not allow these to be sold in "pharmacies" unless they have been scientifically validated. Selling them in a pharmacy indicates to consumers that everything has been verified by a "trusted" pharmacist so it must be safe and effective.
Lol, what about homeopathy
Ever heard of Forever Living Products??
200%I agree
"trusted" pharmacist so it must be safe and effective."
LOL How many side effects do most if not all synthetic drugs prescribed by doctors and pharmacists. They are legally allowed to prescribed narcotics. Are those "safe and effective"?
The law is probably part of it
For goodness sake .Each a Balanced Diet . Meat , Dairy Fish , Fruit and Veg . Exercise go for a 30 minute walk everyday. Everything in moderation .Everything in Moderation try to be Happy. As a Aussie I am Grateful we have Healthcare .
I remember reading that 70% of supplements don't have / have very little of the ingredient on the label. Cowboys.
Most of the vitamin supplements are not absorbed by the body
@@sophiejones304 and you have scientific evidence backing up your claims?
I was taught that consumption doesn't equal absorption. Nobody's body absorbs 100% of the nutrients you consume, especially if you're naturally thin. That is why they put up to 10x the daily recommended IU level of vitamins in supplements. If most of it is going to end up in the toilet then you would need to over consume to absorb the desired amount. I learned this in a nutrition class in a culinary school, would love to get someone's 2 cents on it as I have never been challenged on this opinion before. Am i right/wrong? Thanks.
If you look at recommended intake in Australia they actually explain the studies they looked at to come to the recommendation. All recommendations are excessive to have a buffer and does take into account likely rate of absorption. If you look around the world the recommendations are slightly different but within 10% or so of each other.
Wow Mr. Dr. . Newmaster im from Guelph as well. Thank you for your research..

bad motto. Means that you don't know anything about food.
Vitamin pills now contain much stringent vitamins. I just check mine. It says it have 8.8 mg E per pill lower than 15 mg what we need everyday. Since we have other sources of E, it is ok to eat one pill to ensure sufficient intake.
I was obsessed in taking vitamin c , multivitamins, biotin and vitamin d before that caused my ferritin and iron saturation levels up. Now I’m doing venesecation to remove the iron from my system.
Like any food industry you need a Quality Control system.
Someone who watches and controls the process of manufacturing and quantity of ingredients. Bacteria, mold and oxidation has to be picked up during the testing of these products. And the person who does the testing has to have the guts to document it and report it.

They tested for whole products and many are in a Standardised Extract form. Some caught were indeed correct. So far rhe CBC gas refused to take this vid down.
I have always had my suspicions about vitamin companies!
I've read loads of medical books, watched hours of medical documentaries, that sure don't qualify me to open someones heart up, of to make pills of any kind. Don' know what the law is in the US, but here in Ireland making pills of any kind without some sort of a license will end you up in a spot of bother.
The Ad I saw before this vid was for Vitamins!! :D
This documentary is of a quality.
*A doctor from a private and damn expensive clinic prescribed me vitamin D pills with 20. 000 iu per pill and he said I should take one twice a week. After 2 weeks I felt dizzy every time I stood up as soon as I stopped taking them the dizziness stopped. As soon as I started to take them again, the dizziness returned. So I knew that those vitamin D pills sure weren't good for me.*
Welcome to corruption lol
This is very interesting. I had an idea of possible bad quality of supplements but not at all to the extent showed in this documentary. I am left with more questions than answers I think.
Ever heard of Forever Living Products??
I have had multi-vitamin, omega-3, protein supplement and creatine mono-hydrate and felt better. Please also note that i had 10 hours of rigorous cardio and weight workout per week. If you are couch potato, i bet all these supplements will hurt you in short and long term as well. And btw, omega-3 does have inflammation effect, i have experienced it first hand in knee joints as i perform squats with weights in gym and wrists while performing bench press.
at about 21 minutes the lady interviewer states conclusions from various research articles indicating that the research demonstrated the products were of no value, the person she is interviewing responded by saying something to the effect of "the articles contain good supporting data, but not the conclusion", the interviewers response was "but conclusions are conclusions". This seems reasonable by the interviewer, however I have read thousands of research articles and have found many to be bogus, insofar as the research was done using ineffective quantities therefore resulting in conclusions of ineffectiveness.
If research was to be genuine, it should be done using dosages utilized by real doctors, one as mentioned Linus Pauling, but also Robert Cathcart, Abram Hoffer, Jorge Fletchas, David Brownstein for starters

Dr David Kessler needs to look at the Pharmaceutical company's.
When the health official stated that he had a harder time taking on the supplement industry than big tobacco 😳. I have wisened up significantly now, however, at one point I spent a small fortune on seeing naturopaths and taking bucket loads of highly expensive supplements for chronic ailments.

A wonderful expose of the vitamin supplement industry. Hope this will save a lot people a lot money.
People that take supplements need to instead concentrate on improving their diet with a balanced range of healthy foods. Then they won't need supplements.

You would have to make sure all your food was purely organic, not the chemicalised products that are around. Fruit, veg meat, milk etc full of chemicals all the crap fed to animals, intensive farming so cruel, spraying fruit and veg crops sprayed with chemicals.
Except that it's just big organic trying to get into your pockets as well. Notice when Amazon bought whole foods? they cut prices the next day
@Denise You literally cannot acquire food that has no chemicals in it.
not to mention that the soils are depleted and the vitamins and minerals that should be in the food are not there anymore.
If we all grew a garden, there would be no food shortages
The supplements are useless anyway. The doses are so low you wont even notice any difference. If you eat healthy food you notice the difference instantly!
Does anyone know any organization or third-party site of some sort that has information/research regarding the quality/composition of specific brands?
Thank you for sharing this.
But cantaloupe is not the most vitamin c intense fruit. He should have used kiwi. 1 person can easily eat 5 kiwis...which would make 350mg of vit.c, so maybe the pill could be divided into 2 or 3 for daily use (if the person is eating fast food all day). But when someone is sick, doctors recommend 1000mg per day. Excess vit.c is taken out of the body with urine anyway.
4:05 - a chemist that went into Chiropractic. Oh, my, gosh! Why would you study real science and then go into quackery and anti-science? Was it a money thing?
I absolutely love how they show the equivalent in food source for the vitamins, like that's all that the source contains is the vitamin portion. Yes the cantaloupe only contains vitamin C! Sad part not a lot of people actually analyse what they are showing and how everything is presented.
Something I've heard (or read) is that foods today don't have the same level of nutrients they had 60-70 years ago, because the soil is overused (for lack of a better word). So, that is why we would need to eat so much more vegetables or fruit to equal what one fruit gave us 60-70 years ago. Hence the need for vitamins to supplement our diet, since we cannot eat the quantities of food needed to get our daily requirements of vitamins and minerals.
I think you misunderstand, what it is coming to is that we are overdosing on vitamins. He also said that we should listen to our stomachs and used the fruit to measure, it would be impossible to naturally consume the amount of vitamins that we take from the bottle.

I think the word you're looking for is "Soil Depletion." Plus all the fruits and veges you are getting is NOT fresh. It's kept in refrigeration for months before it hits the shelves. That's why we need the extra vitamins and minerals.

little is it known that vitamin c is in all kind of veggies.... for example - kohlrabi has more than lemons... people look and know your food, spend money on fresh vegetable and fruit, cook at home, eat a bit of everything even chocolate and live healthy
Wow! I am officially blown away. I never trusted vitamins in the first place as I questioned how replacing real food with a pill helps in any way, but I never expected this. Glad I don't take 'em.

I don't think that we get enough vitamins with food - iron, magnesium, calcium and vit. d deficiency are quite common among people I know.
If someone's level of any particular nutrient is low, it means that they're not consuming the food(s) which contain them, or they're not consuming enough of those foods; hence the reason our diet should be both balanced AND adequate.

It’s pretty ironic the industry is taking issue (38:40) with a method of testing for the chemical composition of their products that the Feds haven’t actively approved but wont apply that standard to themselves-the method hasn’t been disproven!
Very Informative.
Although it does happen, I highly doubt there would be enough anabolic steroids from this type of contamination (equipment wasn’t cleaned well enough) to cause clitoral enlargement (which occurs after long-term steroid use) and for there to be growth of male breasts when vitamin intake is stopped (due to the higher levels of estrogen produced naturally in response to an exogenous supply of testosterone). Anabolic steroids also do not necessarily make you aggressive, not to the point of causing you to get kicked out of school. Contamination is a big issue, especially for athletes who are subjected to tests, and people on anti-depressants and birth control. However this seems to be really exaggerated, which they’d have an interest in doing if they’re suing the manufacturer of the tainted pills.

Precisely. That is what the "placebo effect" explains. People believe they are taking something that is efficacious when in fact it is not, meaning the perception of efficacy is psychological, not physiological.
I have always heard that vitamins don't have as much in them as much as the actual food but in this video they say that the vitamin is as much as what is more than would fit in our stomach at one time??
Just get what you need from whole foods. Ditch the ultra-processed packages and eat veggies, fruit, protein. Maybe take a Vit D3 during winter months.
