Year: 2017

I can't argue against the fact that some supplements out there are pretty good for you. Humans are naturally more deficient in vitamin D and B vitamins so if you do take vitamins and these are the ones you take, awesome job! If not, then you are just throwing money down the toilet, literally. As I discussed in my earlier article here, we are naturally NOT protein deficient. I urge you to quit protein shakes and eat more broccoli. If not for health's sake, then do it for your wallet.

I know I know... how can anyone be mad at Oprah she's so charitable and so nice to so many people and a total role model and on and on...
