If the issue is a poor diet, than “treating the cause” would mean
correcting the diet, not using supplements or juices – neither of
which is natural – to get what we need.
When we do use one of these unnatural means, we are actually
creating issues; nutrients are found in natural foods in the same
combinations that we need them in. Isolated supplements tend to
create imbalances as we load up on one (or more) nutrients without
all of their co-factors. Though this has been systematically hidden
from the public, there are multiple studies starting with the Finnish
smoker’s study (began in 1985) which have proven that
supplementation often dramatically increases rates of disease,
especially in the highest risk segments. And because science
suggests that most of the nutrients in food haven’t even been
discovered yet, the only way we can possibly get everything in the
whole food is to eat the whole food.

is your opinion on their efficacy?
