- Lipids @ Tutor Vista - "Recent studies show that the lipids help in sending vital signals to the other metabolic activities sensing the deficiencies. The metabolic activities like calcium mobilization, growth, reproduction, and controls like blood pressure, enzymatic actions etc.are monitored by the lipid signalling. Fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A, Vitamin K and Vitamin E are carried in the body by the fat which is also a lipid.... Lipids are one of the most predominant component of life. Though it cannot be synthesized by body it is present in various sources and can be stored in the body. ..In the body, the bilayered cell membrane is phospholipid. Steroids such as cholesterol and cholic acid. Prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes are also lipids. Fat soluble vitamins like vit.A and Vitamin K are lipids.

Many herbivorous mammals, including cattle and sheep, absorb B12 produced by bacteria in their own digestive system. B12 is found to some extent in soil and plant" -Vegan Society

- Getting Too Much of Vitamins And Minerals By Cari Nierenberg - "Too much vitamin C or zinc could cause nausea, diarrhea, and stomachcramps. Too much selenium could lead to hair loss, gastrointestinal upset, fatigue, and mild nerve damage.While most people aren't getting megadoses, if you eat a fortified cereal at breakfast, grab an energy bar between meals, have enriched pasta for dinner, and take a daily supplement, you could easily be over the recommended daily intake of a host of nutrients."

- Don’t Take Your Vitamins By PAUL A. OFFIT @ Sunday Review
- SYNTHETIC VITAMINS AND MINERALS @ Food Kills
- Why Synthetic Vitamins Are Harmful | Supplement Science @ Good Living Warehouse -" Synthetic calcium taken by itself can be dangerous, but combine natural calcium with all the other co-factors and micronutrients in an orange, and it gets ushered into your cells and utilized with simplistic perfection."
- "Vitamin supplementation may seem like an easy and convenient answer to maintaining health, in addition to healthy food choices and regular exercise. However, synthetic vitamins may impede the absorption of nutrients from food, warns the Organic Consumers Association (OCA). Moreover, fat-soluble vitamins can accumulate in the body, leading to an array of toxic reactions at high doses." - @LiveStrong
- As Dr. Judith DeCava points out in "The Real Truth about Vitamins and Antioxidants", "This is what occurs with all synthetic vitamins: the body treats them as toxins, leading to the "expensive urine" of excess vitamin intake referred to frequently, since the human system via the urinary tract attempts to rid itself of the major quantity of such foreign chemicals."Dr. DeCava also points out that vitamin B1, as synthetic Thiamine (Thiamine HCL or Thiamine Mononitrate), "will initially allay fatigue but will eventually cause fatigue by the buildup of pyruvic acid. This leads to the vicious cycle of thinking more and more Thiamine is needed, resulting in more and more fatigue along with other accumulated complaints... ...Natural food-source vitamins are enzymatically alive. Man-made synthetic vitamins are dead chemicals." " - Food Kills (dot) org
- The Differences Between Synthetic and Natural Vitamins by Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFM @Global Healing Center - "The problem is that many vitamin and mineral supplements are manufactured synthetically with chemicals and do not come straight from their natural sources. They are made to mimic the way natural vitamins act in our bodies. Natural vitamins are derived directly from plant material containing the vitamin, not produced in a test tube.Many synthetic vitamins lack the transporters and co-factors associated with naturally occurring vitamins because they have been “isolated.” The Organic Consumers Association emphasizes that isolated vitamins cannot be used or recognized by the body in the same way as the natural version.The natural form come in packages with other vitamins, enzymes and minerals that control the way the body recognizes, metabolizes and uses them to make what it needs.Isolated vitamins can’t always be used by the body, and are either stored until you obtain or create the nutrients required to use them effectively or are excreted. Synthetic vitamins are also devoid of necessary trace minerals and must use the body’s own mineral reserves which may lead to dangerous mineral deficiencies.What’s the Big Deal About Synthetic Vitamins? Synthetic versions of vitamins contain chemical compounds that were not meant for human consumption and do not occur in nature. Evolution has dictated that we eat the food we can gather from the earth, not the food we create in a lab.
