I keep hearing people praise "natural" products even beyond the limits of the laws of physics!
For example, a friend of mine who studies medicine said that natural vitamin C has different effects than artificial different C (the artificial one has some side effects) even though they have the same chemical structure.
And he's going to be a freaking doctor! I'm sorry I can't remember what the specific difference was.
If there is any truth to these claims, then it must relate to the manufacturing process: artificial vitamin C may come together with other by-products that cause the side-effects, while natural vitamin C comes together with other plant stuff that might help the body.
Thoughts on this?
