In these tough economic times, it is of great concern to public health officials that more and more individuals appear to be resorting to vitamin pills and protein shakes in order to save money, as real whole food is costly. Nevertheless, pills and powders aren’t a great source of nutrition, even though they’re being used as meal replacements instead of the simple dietary supplements they are at best.
The dangerous nature of this gambit, where financially desperate folks decide to cut back on food to be able to pay the rent, is magnified by the fact that one doesn’t even really know what, exactly, is in the vitamin pill or protein powder.
