Source of vitamins

Source of vitamins. Again, one may ask, from what source may immunity be found as furnished by vitamin A if not from cod liver oil? The answer to this question may be introduced by asking another, where did the codfish get his vitamin A? Doubtless some are already acquainted with the fact that any fish, having vitamin A in the liver, has found this substance in plant food in the form of a sea weed growing in the bottom of the sea where it is synthesized from the bright rays of the sun shining upon it. Strained honey is honey which has been handed via a mesh materials to take away particulate materials (pieces of wax, propolis, other defects) without removing Forever Bee Pollen, minerals or priceless enzymes. Now arises the most important question of all: May we not do as does the fish, and all our ancestors have done, and as the whole Oriental world is still doing— secure a sufficient amount of vitamin A by looking to our food supply as the source of this valuable element? This great secret has been opened to us through the results obtained in the experimental feeding laboratories.

To the farmer has been made known, through bulletins issued monthly at the Experimental Stations, that cows turned out to pasture in the sunshine, give milk containing vitamin A in rich amounts; while those kept in a partially dark stall, and on dry feed, produce milk very poor in this element. It is interesting also to note that the color of milk is easily influenced by the character of the feed. When the cow is fed largely on yellow corn and fresh pasture grass, her milk is a deep yellow. Thus, the “carotene,” that which gives the yellow color to milk, cannot be synthesized in the cow’s body without furnishing her with green feed and a certain amount of sunshine. Another fact of interest is seen in the influence of feed and sunshine on the color of the egg yolk. Forever Bee Propolis is a wax-like resinous substance collected from trees and used as a cement to seal cracks or open spaces within the hive. Hens furnished an abundance of green feed and sunshine produce eggs having a deep yellow color in the yolk; the same hens, given dry feed, and kept shut up in a henhouse, lay eggs with a yolk of very light color.

Then to summarize this question, it may be authentically stated that to obtain an adequate amount of vitamin A it is only necessary to expose the body to sunshine, and to make selection of the natural foods high in this element, without resort to the use of oil from the liver of a fish, or “something in a bottle.” Vitamin B: This vitamin, Sherman tells us, is more apt to be lacking in the diet than most others as it is less widely distributed in foods. However, we again find it is not necessary to visit the drugstore in order to secure it, as there are a number of foods rich in this element, as can be seen by studying the list on Table II in the back of the book.
