3 Popular Supplements That Are A Waste Of Money by Frederic Patenaude
This might make me a few enemies, but I believe that 99% of supplements and "superfoods" on the market are an absolute waste of money.
It seems like every time you turn your head, someone is offering the latest and greatest "beauty enhancing" or "breakthrough" superfood or supplement.
But what if I told you something shocking yet so simple to understand: there's no "food" that arrives in a bottle, having been made in a factory and sold in powdered form, that will ever compare in terms of "super-nutrition" to fresh fruits and vegetables.
But still, almost every day I get an e-mail that says, "what do you think of __________" (fill in the blank with whatever supplement or superfood is now being promoted as the latest "amazing" product).
Although it would take forever to review every product on the market, let's review some popular supplements and superfoods that, in my opinion, are an absolute waste of money.
Green Powder Almost every supplement company has a variation of the "green powder," which is basically a powder made with dried grass, dried grass juices or dried vegetables and possibly algae. This powder is supposed to make your body more alkaline and give you nutrition you can't find elsewhere.
First, I would say that grass powder is not a worthy food and anyone growing grass and turning it into a powder and making a lot of money selling it is really laughing their way to the bank at the expense of unknowing customers. Even if it's called "wheatgrass", it's still grass.
A powder of vegetables or algae can never compare in nutritional value to fresh vegetables, even if those vegetables are not organic.
The real superfoods are dark green vegetables such as spinach, romaine lettuce, black kale, parsley, celery, arugula, and so on.
With the use of "green smoothies" made with *fresh* green vegetables and fruit, anyone can obtain superior nutrition in a few minutes a day (ruling out the argument that people don't have "time" to eat well).
Green smoothies and fresh raw greens literally put these green powders to shame. For a free mini-course on the power of green smoothies, go to: <http://www.greenforlifeprogram.com>;
Protein Powder Another all-time favorite of supplement companies is the protein powder, in all its forms. There's the ultra-refined soy protein powder, we've got whey protein, rice protein, and now a less refined hemp protein.
