my wife and i do drink barley green every morning.  it is very nutritious but the taste is not so good.  some people love it but after 6 years of drinking it i still get the shivers after drinking.   fortunately one only drinks 4 oz of it.  it is made for kep and some other seaweeds.  lol   ours comes from a company called  AIM   which seems to produce very high quality stuff.  i also have had a green vegatable life powder but forget the exact name and company presently.  it too has the "healthy" taste.    funny after all these years i just don't consider the barley green a supplement, more just another type of food, like a morning juice or something.   

The last time I checked, I haven't coerced any men into agriculture.

Of course you haven't Kallyn. The Neolothic revolution was hundreds of generations before you were even born.

Suze. True, patriarchy is men in charge. But, there's an old addage... behind every great man is a great woman, right?

I think anything we need can and should be obtained from real food sources


Anyone here have strong opinions for/against supplements?

Absolutely! When I discovered the Natrol Cinnamon Extract I was taking for my blood sugar contains three or four hidden sugars, not to mention several other harmful chemicals, I checked all the twenty or so supplements I had been taking and found them all full of toxins, sugars and salts! That was when I decided that I will never use supplements again. That was two or three weeks ago and I feel no worse for the lack of them.

Besides, how did I manage to be healthy throughout my entire childhood and early adulthood without supplements? Simple, like my ancestors, I got what I needed from the foods I ate.

I'm through with supplements forever. They are not only mostly expelled from the body as waste, they also contain dangerous substances that make it absolute lunacy to take them, thinking you're going to protect your health!

Like all the other dietary myths concocted to separate us from our money, the unregulated supplements industry's hype that we need their products is among the worst.
