A few months ago, a friend sent a video of "the most expensive urine in the world". Since I had known what the "most expensive urine" means, it was left in vain after reading it. Now, in order to release the new book topic next year, I have found this video again. Its title is Americans Have the ‘Most Expensive Urine’ in the World.
Its length is only 58 seconds, and the content is that the two doctors are reviewing several just published research papers. Dr. Donna Arnett, president of the American Career Association, said: "Americans spend $5 billion a year to buy vitamins, but this study shows that as long as you eat a balanced diet, vitamins don't help." "This study is not surprising," said Dr. Steve Nissen, director of the Cliffland Clinic Department. "The nutritional nutrition that Americans consume has exceeded their needs, so supplementing vitamins will only expel expensive urine." The study mentioned by the two doctors,
, was actually four papers published in the top medical journal "Episode 19 of Internal Sciences" in December 2013. Their titles are:
Vitamin and Mineral Supplements in the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease and Cancer: An Updated Systematic Evidence Review for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
Long-Term Multivitamin Supplementation and Cognitive Function in Men: A Randomized Trial.
Oral High-Dose Multivitamins and Minerals After Myocardial Infarction: A Randomized Trial (A randomized trial after oral high dose oral dose combined with vitamins and minerals: a random trial).
Enough Is Enough: Stop Wasting Money on Vitamin and Mineral Supplements (already suffered: don't waste any more vitamins and mineral supplements).
The first three articles report three large clinical trials separately, and the conclusion they obtain is that vitamin and mineral supplements do not help (1) the prevention of cardiovascular disease, (2) the treatment of myocardial infarction, and (3) the improvement of cognitive function.
The fourth article is an edited review of these three research articles. From its title, it can be seen how deep and painful the editors use for vitamins and mineral supplements. However, these academic papers are obviously a cup of water and car, which can not have any harsh effects on vitamins and mineral supplements. Let’s take a look at the video of “the most expensive urine in the world”. There have been only 1,200 clicks in 6 years! Actually, there is nothing to worry about. Opinion of vitamins and mineral supplements, the sales volume in the past six years has increased by at least 20% to 30%.
In fact, the Internet word "expensive urine" is not new, but has been around for at least 30 years. Dr. David Gorski is a professor of surgery and tumors at the Medical School of Wern State University. He published Supplements: Flushing your money down the toilet in expensive urine on 2013-12-19. He said, "I remember that when I was in the hospital, several teachers joked more than once that taking vitamin supplements would do the only thing you can do is to produce expensive urination. My first year at the hospital was about thirty years ago and I have no evidence to convince me that the sentence "Erely Urine" is wrong. If your diet is balanced, you don't need to supplement vitamins. Of course, none of these prevents supplement manufacturers from convincing us that a comprehensive vitamin and a single vitamin supplement is absolutely important to health and can even cure diseases. There is even an alternative medicine theory that if a small amount of vitamin is beneficial, then more will be better. This alternative medicine is called Orthomolecular Medicine.
I published "Vitamin C to fight cancer on 2019-3-25? 》, explaining what is "Orthologic Medicine". I said, "It is translated from orthomolecular medicine. Although it sounds so high, it is not a branch or department of medicine.. In fact, it is positioned as a ketopath, and in the last month there was a doctor who performed this sacred medicine in Taiwan (see the death of a ketopath).
The Internet term "expensive urine" is not exclusive to the United States, but is circulated in English countries. In February 2017, several British media reported a "expensive urine" news almost at the same time, such as the MULTIVITAMINS JUST CREATE &lsquo, "VERY EXPENSIVE URINE’ MEDICAL CHIEF WARNS (Comprehensive vitamins just create "very expensive urine", warning from the medical chief). It said: "The Australian Medical Association Chairman said that the comprehensive vitamins are "no benefit" for most people, just making "very expensive urine". Dr. Michael Gannon said that many Australians have very expensive urine. What you need is a good diet, not to pee money into a bucket."
In fact, based on my open and secret visits, Taiwanese people's urine is also very expensive. However, who is the most expensive thing in the world? I am afraid that it is necessary to do a large-scale clinical trial across countries to achieve success.
