Guide to Nutrition and Free Vitamins and Minerals is a must for any food consumer interested in great health!

Did you know that the first vitamins were only discovered in 1913?

Surprise!  During the 1980s hundred of plant-based components called phytonutrients were discovered through chemical analysis.  

A component is a chemical substance present in food:

Natural as in the case of nutrients
Accidental- as in the case of biological and chemical contaminants. 
Intentional-as with additives.  Today biological and chemical contaminates are intentional.
