Are green powders and multivitamins actually healthy?

In this video, I'll talk about comprehensive nutrition products (CNPs). This category includes green powders, multivitamins, nutritionally complete drinks, etc (anything that claims to give you a wide array of the vitamins and minerals that you need in one convenient daily package). People with chronic illness especially might benefit from this advice.
Are there individual exceptions to my arguments in this video? Absolutely. Are they rare relative to the norm? I believe so.

This makes sense. It does seem silly to think that a powder could replace fruits and vegetables in their whole food state. Great stuff as always!

Glad it resonates with you! Your question inspired me to make this video, so thanks!

I agree with the overall message, but disagree with the suggestion that fruits are especially important. Many experts rate vegetables as "better" in terms of nutrients than fruits - that's why the guidelines have more servings reserved for vegetables than fruit. Fruit tend to be a lot lower in protein and calcium, iron, selenium, and zinc than other foods like beans (including soy beans), vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. I love fruit of course, but for the reasons I listed above, they shouldn't take up a very large proportion of your calories. They can certainly be a part of a healthy diet, and you should try to include them, but they are not better than the other food groups I mentioned.

Look into cymbiotika stuff, things and science evolved from regular multis..

Sending over some constructive crit, hopefully it'll help. I would suggest building some credibility - I'm not sure if I *can* believe you, right? What qualifies you to give advice? Also, what are we talking about juicing here? You mentioned the nutrients from fruits are not going to great from CNPs, then you also suggested juicing could be a solution, but if we're juicing fruits (and I'm sure you know this), we're getting *way way way* too much sugar without the fiber in the whole fruit. I agree with nearly all of your points though, keep it up!!

That’s great feedback, thank you! I definitely should share my story at some point, to explain how I’ve learned what I’ve learned. I’ve healed myself from severe chronic illness using only dietary changes. I’ve also helped my friends and family members heal as well. As for juicing, it’s been my experience (as well as those in my ideological circles), that juicing both fruits and vegetables can be beneficial in different ways. That’s a bit of a complex subject that could actually be the subject of another video. Apologies that I was a bit vague about it in this video. Thanks again for the feedback!
