A good book I read on this is called “Whole” by T Colin Campbell. This makes me want to revisit it now.I’ve never heard that vitamins were created with the fast food industry. I thought they were micronutrients just as natural as minerals that are just as important as macronutrients.
Vitamin supplements are much different than vitamins that come from food tho. For example, a vitamin c pill won’t be anywhere as effective as eating an orange. The body receives an orange and uses all the nutrients inside of it to take what it needs, as it needs it. A lot of the other nutrient content in an orange allows the body to receive the vitamin c. W a synthetic vitamin pill, it’s hard to tell what the body does w it, if anything bc it’s not an isolated machine that can be hacked with reductionist theories.
As for juicing, it’s worked hella well for me. I’ve gone on 48 hour all fruit or all juice fasts and it’s contributed a lot to my increased health over the last few years. I plan on doing an 30 day all fruit/fruit juice fast this year at some point as I’ve heard a lot of great things from ppl who have before.
Additionally, vitamins and minerals from natural sources like dried and wet herbs, I believe, are superior to any supplement or synthetic vitamin. Naturally occurring > synthetically manufactured
