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)
  • 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)
