Falling Into the Trap
- The return of “Stripper or NFL”. (2:00)
- Book a consultation with Vinnie for guidance with your goals. https://vinnietortorich.com/phone-consultation-2/
- What is meant by “functional foods”? (6:00)
- It appears to be a marketing term, similar to vitamins working “at the cellular level.”
- Water works at the “cellular level”, too!
- Chris defines the phrase “functional foods,” which is equivalent to “fortified.”
- Vinnie defines essential vs. non-essential. (17:30)
- For example, creatine is considered “non-essential” because the body can produce it on its own.
- “Essential vitamins” means that if you don’t take them, your body won’t make them. (19:00)
- It appears to be a marketing term, similar to vitamins working “at the cellular level.”
- What is the “new salt” fortified with vitamin D?
- There are different forms of vitamins, and some are more effective than others. (23:00)
- The fortified salt contains vitamin D2, but it is not the most effective form of vitamin D. (26:00)
- Falling into the trap of poor labeling can be a problem. “Functional” isn’t necessarily better than “fortified.”
- Magnesium stearate is a flow agent that can block the absorption of the vitamins you are trying to take! (31:00)
- It’s all another labeling game that people are playing. (40:00)
