Vitamins and minerals added back to our food are not as healthy as if they were present in nature. One nutrient or two does not address the whole complex issue of how nutrients work synergistically in nature. The processed foods are de-natured in some ways due to heat and other processing that also removes the mentioned nutrients. It is always better to get your vitamins from a natural source or natural multivitamin that has a proper blend. Hi Brian,

You mention that B-6 in its primary form (known as pyridoxine) is not synthesized. Yet reading further it is stated that Currently, many cereals and other products are fortified with this vitamin. My question and concern is this: Are vitamins and minerals that are added back into to our foods (known to be inorganic) synthesized by our body? I am under the impression that through the manufacturing processes the natural nutrients are lost and later re-added (fortified). This concerns me and appears to be more of a marketing hype than a reality of getting what is really useful to our health. Can you offer your insight as to the validity of my concern.
