Stating that if terrorists were to kill as many people as doctors do the U.S. would go to war. Contending it is necessary to supplement because the nutrients aren’t in our food.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a study from Tufts University. Finding that people who ate more dietary fiber have are 30% less likely to develop knee pain from osteoarthritis. A Framingham Offspring Study of over 1200 men and women in their early 50s found a 61% lower risk of knee osteoarthritis if they consumed more fiber. Doc disagrees contending fiber contains phytates which bind to minerals and they won’t be absorbed. Stating there must something else other than fiber in the diets to reduce inflammation.
