Why are vitamin pills not a replacement for a balanced diet?
In: Biology
Because we don’t fully understand exactly what the human body needs, and why. Nutritional science is still in its early days. We have an understanding on how to avoid death, but full quality of health is not as well understood.
Also, they contain no energy.
Full vitamin and mineral replacement with pills would mean a lot of different pills being taken at different times, all day long.
Your teeth would eventually go soft and deteriorate out from lack of use.
You would likely build up toxins in your intestines with them being used but without fibre, as well as making them prone to both bacterial and fungal infection.
Your stomach would shrink and your gallbladder would stop working properly, so if you did eat (which you would still have the desire to) you would feel sick and uncomfortable.
