DESCRIPTION: Employees in natural food stores have been caught giving advice that is not only scientifically baseless, but also risky and downright dangerous. This is the third of a four-part series on the quality of advice given by employees of natural food stores. See Health Food Store Supplement Advice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/health-food-store-supplement-advice/) and Bad Advice From Health Food Store Employees (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bad-advice-from-health-food-store-employees/) for parts 1 & 2. I have more than five dozen videos on dietary supplements in general for those interested in taking a deeper look (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/supplements/), with a number suggesting toxicity, including Ayervedic medicines (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/amla-and-triphala-tested-for-metals/), fish oil (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fish-oil-in-troubled-waters/), Juice Plus (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/update-on-juice-plus%c2%ae/), Herbalife (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/update-on-herbalife%c2%ae/), blue-green algae (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/update-on-chlorella/), cod liver oil (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-cod-liver-oil-good-for-you/), spirulina (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/update-on-spirulina/), green tea extracts (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-healthiest-beverage/), and noni juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-noni-juice-good-for-you/). There are supplements likely to be health-promoting though, including vitamin B12 (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/safest-source-of-b12/) and vitamin D (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/resolving-the-vitamin-d-bate/), but we should really try to get our nutrients from Produce, Not Pills (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/produce-not-pills-to-increase-physical-attractiveness/). Then there are another 25 videos on pregnancy (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/pregnancy/) and 1,000+ other topics at http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/.

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dangerous-advice-from-health-food-store-employees/ and he'll try to answer it!
