So what makes it so much better to get your nutrients through foods rather than supplements? I understand you need to eat, but say all you’ve got is potatoes and multivitamins, is that very much less effective than eating a balanced diet? Or is it just “ideal” to get them through foods but you’ll still be ok?
Like if that’s all you had for a month, would your health really suffer negatively?
