Fish Oil Health Benefits: Get Your Nutrients From The Source
Found this article on MSNBC.com today. Here’s the bottom line. Don’t count on foods that have been artificially fortified with vitamins, minerals or omega 3s for your nutrition. The best place to look for your nutrition are whole foods and whole food supplements like Omega 3 Salmon Oil Plus.
Are Vitamin Fortified Foods Healthier?
You may not get all the nutritional benefits with these functional foods.By Janice Lieberman
TODAY consumer correspondent
Jan 31, 2007There’s been an explosion in foods fortified with vitamins and minerals. They’re called “functional foods, and Americans spend billions of dollars a year on them. Your milk is fortified with Vitamin D; your OJ has so many added vitamins its container has more letters in the alphabet than your child’s school books, and your cereal claims to help you lose weight and reduce your risk of a heart attack and stroke. Feeling guilty about eating junk food? Even ice-pops, chocolate pudding, and sugary drinks these days have added vitamins and minerals. It’s hard to find a product that doesn’t contain some healthy-sounding additive.
But are these foods worth buying and consuming? The answer isn’t all that simple. I’m concerned about it, because it’s a way of getting us to eat things that may not be completely healthy for us, says Dr. Marc Siegel of New York University Hospital in New York City. A lot of these products have additives that in and of themselves are good, [such as] vitamins. But what about the overall product? Do they have too many sugars in them [or] caffeine? A lot of these products are not that healthy.
So is a cereal containing yogurt bits healthier than one without them? Not according to nutritionists. Basically, this is a marketing tease. You’re persuaded to buy a sugary product, because you think it is healthier than similar cereals. And what about omega-3 fatty acids that have been added to everything from waffles to peanut butter? Doctors say additional omega-3 fatty acids found aren’t harmful. But they say that we shouldn’t substitute these types of functional foods for ones that naturally contain omega-3 fatty acids, such salmon, sardines or mackerel. (It is recommended that you eat three servings of fish containing omega-3 a week.)
