We are supposed to get our nutrients from.....FOOD!

Luanne getting her Manmakers on!
Interesting article in the New York Times on the effect of antioxidant supplements curbing the benefits of exercise.
excerpt:

"The effect of vitamins on exercise and glucose metabolism “is really quite significant,” said Dr. C. Ronald Kahn of the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, a co-author of the report. “If people are trying to exercise, this is blocking the effects of insulin on the metabolic response.”
The advice does not apply to fruits and vegetables, Dr. Ristow said; even though they are high in antioxidants, the many other substances they contain presumably outweigh any negative effect. "
