What is the disadvantage of using nutritional supplements?
What will be an ideal response?
A wide variety of whole unprocessed foods is the best approach to getting all the necessary nutrients. Whole fruits and vegetables which have no added ingredients, whole grains such as brown rice, and oatmeal; and lean or low-fat meats and dairy products provide adequate nutrients with few calories. Nutritional supplements provide nutrients but they do not supply the beneficial zoochemicals and phytochemicals which naturally occur in foods. Individuals who use nutritional supplements may be tempted to mistakenly believe that they are superior to whole unprocessed foods.
