So do you think your body "knows" when it's needing certain nutrients? Obviously you know when your thirsty, so on some level it does. But I will sometimes want a specific random food like radishes. Not talking about that feeling you get when you say to yourself "I want Mexican tonight, etc." but when you crave a very specific thing.

There's plenty of reason to think you suddenly have a taste for foods containing nutrients you're in need of. But I don't think this system operates well in a world of artificial flavors that trick your sense of taste.

>but when you crave a very specific thing.

I've had very specific food cravings before, but I doubt it had anything to do with nutrition in my case. I eat a vary varied diet. I get plenty of fruits, vegetables, legumes, etc and I take a multivitamin/mineral tablet daily. I very rarely eat junk food or fast food. I can't claim my diet is perfect but I seriously doubt I'm missing any critical nutrients.

Disinfo agent.

The "nutrients" are quite literally government manufactured chemicals that they pur DRVs on and made you think you need them to survive. 90% Of them are rated hazardous to humans.

If the FDA put a DRV of 1500mg on glyphosate, you people are so fucking dumb that you would claim you need to eat glyphosate to survive.

This is the truth. Get butthurt if you will, you are supporting a black industry of chemical manufacturing and sales and claiming with avarice that people will die if they don't eat the toxic waste pumped out by government owned cameo chemicals.

Think about it like this: Just over a century ago many rural Americans would get spring fever (scurvy) after surviving the winter on storehouse foods. As soon as the first dandelion (or skunk cabbage) greens popped up they'd run out, harvest them, cook them up and eat them. These might not be nearly as desirable as the late spring and summer greens they'd raise in their gardens, but their vitamin C starved bodies were craving them enough that they'd go out even before the last snowfall melted to forage whatever edible greens were poking up. Other cultures solved this problem by developing a taste for pickled cabbage. All of this happened long before we knew what vitamins were.

It doesn't matter if it's the "chemical" version or the "natural" version. Both are identical.

The reason why the "2/4" hazard rating exists for the "chemical" and not for, say, a bag of lemons is that the "chemical" purchased from a lab supply company is pure, whereas lemons contain only a small amount of the citric acid among all the other things that make up a lemon. The difference lies in the concentration.

This is true for just about any nutrient that the human body requires. Small amounts of it are necessary for life. Larger amounts of it (i.e. highly pure) can be toxic.

You're correct in a broad sense, but the vitamin industry does work hard to move product. Look at D for example. Many labs have been increasingly flagging people for having low vitamin D when they're at levels which would not have raised eyebrows a few years ago. And much of the D supplements sold are D2, which is not the same as the D3 your body produces in response to sunlight. So what people are being sold is not the same as the vitamin they're lacking.

You don't need conspiracy theories to explain this. Money is being made, and that's enough.

Sure, vitamin D is different than D2 and D3, but citric acid is citric acid, regardless of where it originates.
And you are right that there is an industry pushing you to ingest certain things, but that's true of literally any product in a capitalist economy. As well, supplements are never as good as the real thing, eating natural foods contain counterparts to certain vitamins etc. that will assist in breaking it down in your body.

Eating an excess of any vitamin isn't going to hurt you either, unless you are consuming it in insanely excessive amounts (i.e. eat an entire polar bear liver). Your body is very good at filtering out excess/unneeded materials. You can probably make a case for trans-fats and hydrogenated oils though,
.
The only way to be sure of what you're eating is to inform yourself; pointing fingers and shouting "muh govt conspiracy" won't get you anywhere in life.

My point is that once things are in pill form understanding the dose is less intuitive. This is why so many kids OD on prescription pills they take recreationally. It's pretty obvious you shouldn't drink a gallon of vodka, but less so when it's just numbers on the label of a bottle.

As for vitamin supplements what's sold is usually the cheapest version of a particular vitamin, not necessarily the kind we ought to be getting. (For example there are six kinds of vitamin E, so while citric acid will always be citric acid vitamin E is not always the same thing). Then there's the whole issue of bioavailability, and which nutrients increase or decrease the adsorption of other nutrients.
