@wellx.store: Eating the food and taking the pill are not the same thing 🥕 In the 1990s, researchers saw that people who ate the most carrots and leafy greens had lower rates of lung cancer. So they tested beta carotene on its own, in capsule form, in smokers, at doses no vegetable could deliver. Two large trials followed. In one, the group taking the supplement had more lung cancer, not less, and it was stopped early. Scientists still haven’t pinned the benefits of whole foods on a single compound. It seems to come from the combination, the amounts a plant actually contains, and everything else that comes with it. Which is a good reason to eat the food, not just buy the extract. 🥦 What’s your favourite veggie to add to your plate? 👇 #nutritionfacts #wholefoods #healthyeating #nutritiontips #foodscience
