After some preliminary research, I’ve found the consensus to be that you can’t replace fruits and vegetables with multi-vitamins and fiber supplements. But, I can’t find an adequate answer for why this is. What does the food offer that the vitamins don’t (aside from macronutrients that could be attained from foods other than fruits and vegetables)? It seems logical that they wouldn’t be interchangeable – just looking for a more specific answer.

For example in multivitamins they use ascorbic acid they make out of corn starch. Commonly known as vit c. They sell you just acid. You dont get the whole complex vit c. Like that it cant work anything good for you except making things sour. You piss it away.
