Page "Orthomolecular medicine" Paragraph 11

According to Abram Hoffer, " primitive " peoples do not consume processed foods and do not have " degenerative " diseases.

In contrast, typical " Western " diets are said to be insufficient for long-term health, necessitating the use of megadose supplements of vitamins, dietary minerals, proteins, antioxidants, amino acids, ω-3 fatty acids, ω-6 fatty acids, medium chain triglycerides, dietary fiber, short and long chain fatty acids, lipotropes, systemic and digestive enzymes, other digestive factors, and prohormones to ward off hypothetical metabolism anomalies at an early stage, before they cause disease.
