Answer to Question 1

Real food is superior to supplements. Most healthy people who eat a nutritious diet need no dietary supplements at all. Even if a person's basic nutrient needs are perfectly understood and met, a dietary supplement taken in place of food still lacks something. Hospitalized clients who are fed nutrient mixtures through a vein often improve dramatically when they can finally eat food. Something in real food is important to health and real food offers something that cannot be provided through a supplement alone.
