It is just not true that it has been 'proved' that "veggies and fruit do not carry the same nutritional value as they had 100 years". It is pill manufacturers marketing. A lie. Designed to fool the gullible. You really have swallowed the nutribollocks, haven’t you?

Because of it's no bread consumption people are able to retain muscle mass and lose fat. As far as supplementing goes, I would say taking fish oils does have some benefits, but its about quality that you receive. Also it has been proven that veggies and fruit do not carry the same nutritional value as they had 100 years ago because of our farming practices, so it would be good to use a antioxidant formula. I do believe Supplements can help people, but there is a majority of supplement companies wanting to make a pretty penny. The Paleo Diet has gotten some popularity over the past couple of years.
