Stop Taking These 7 Vitamins (#1 Linked to Lung Cancer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8KYIV0vKus Today, we're going to talk about what supplements you can stop [music] taking. In 1996, the National Cancer Institute shut down an 18,000 person clinical trial. The supplement they were using [music] actually was causing lung cancer and causing people to die faster, closing down the study >> [music] >> by 2 years. We're talking about beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is in carrots. It's in spinach. It's a precursor to vitamin A. What they didn't explain in the news reports was that the type of beta-carotene they were using did not come from spinach, didn't come from carrots. It was made in a lab. So, this is how antioxidants work. We get antioxidants from our diet and our body makes antioxidants. So, what they are are compounds that help donate an electron to help stabilize a free radical. So, in this situation, when they gave the synthetic beta-carotene to patients, it was turning the beta-carotene into free radicals. So, would I ever personally buy a synthetic beta-carotene product? The answer's no. Get your beta-carotene from actual food if you want to get it. All right, number two, vitamin E. The synthetic version of vitamin E is called dl-alpha-tocopherol. Now, a lot of people are taking this vitamin E in their supplements. It's okay short-term if you're trying to handle something or detox, but I don't recommend it as a ongoing maintenance type thing because this too is synthetic. It could become a free radical and create more problems. There was a select trial, 35,000 men who had a 17% increase in prostate cancer that kept rising even after the trial was done. Again, why did this happen? Because you're taking an isolated synthetic antioxidant. So, mega-dosing on the synthetic version of the vitamin E complex will starve out the ones that you really need for protection and set you up for problems. Number three is vitamin A. Sometimes it comes as preformed vitamin A. Beta-carotene is a precursor for vitamin A. This is the active form of vitamin A. You see this in a lot of supplements. Here's the problem with synthetic vitamin A. It can actually compete with vitamin D at the receptor level. And also, for vitamin A to work, it needs zinc. 10,000 IU of the synthetic vitamin A during pregnancy is linked to a 2.4 times spike in birth defects, increasing risk of bone fractures. Given that, I wouldn't even recommend any synthetic version of vitamin A. Get your vitamin A from either egg yolks, cod liver oil, or liver in small amounts. Next one is vitamin B6. Taking the synthetic version, pyridoxine hydrochloride, actually competes with the active form of B6. And all of a sudden, you end up with things like numbness, tingling, peripheral neuropathy. Not good. If you're going to take B6, or if it's going to be in your supplements, make sure it's in the P5P version. Let's go on to calcium carbonate, aka limestone. There was a Women's Health Initiative research study. And it actually did lower hip fractures, but it also at the same time increased kidney stones. When you're taking calcium carbonate, aka limestone, that's not the best thing for your arteries. Our body has to work hard at even using this version of calcium. Get your calcium from sardines, dairy, like it's cheese, yogurt, things like that, or from vegetables. But I wouldn't get your calcium from chewing on cement. I have a free free that I want to give to you. This free download is my daily routine in a checklist. This is a routine that I use every day to feel like I'm 18 years old, even though I'm 60 years old, and I want to give it to you for free. And so, there's a little link down below, click it, and definitely download that. All right, number six, iron. Too much iron in the body is very corrosive, and it's very oxidizing, and it can mess with our liver and create inflammation. And so, if someone's female and they're menstruating, they have a way of getting rid of the iron, but if you're a male, the only way to get rid of the iron is to donate blood. And they put this iron in a lot of supplements as ferrous sulfate or fumarate. And this type of iron is not even the bioavailable type of iron. If you want to get iron, get it from food, and it's called heme iron, okay? Like from steak or liver, things like that. And then, let's get to number seven, vitamin D2, ergocalciferol. This is not the natural version of vitamin D. When you take high doses of D2, it gets rid of excess D3. Okay, now this is pretty wild. I'm not going to even tell you what vitamin this is, but this is the most profitable multivitamin on planet Earth. Guess what's in here? Every single one of these supplements. The first one being calcium carbonate. And anytime you see calcium carbonate is the first thing in the ingredients, that's pretty much the majority of the ingredients. That's why it's so heavy. But there are certain nutrients that are very, very difficult to get. And for information on that, you should watch this video right here. Check it out.
