		<description><![CDATA[Today I want to talk to you about B vitamins. They are your best protection against heart attack and stroke and more powerful than any drug.

B vitamins are controversial, but they shouldn’t be… a lot of what you hear about them comes from misleading reports sponsored by drug companies.

Big Pharma is working on drug versions of B vitamins, especially B6. They’re hoping you’ll “trust” their drug version over the kind you get from a multi-vitamin.

But really, why would you pay hundreds of dollars for a prescription form of B6 when you can get it at your local vitamin store for pennies?

B vitamins are water soluble, which means you’ll find them in the meat of animal protein, instead of the fatty part. Some B vitamins are found in fruits and vegetables, but your best source is red meat. And for B12, red meat is your ONLY source.

About 25 years ago, I developed a phrase to help my fellow medical students remember the names for all the B vitamins. I still use this to teach nutrition today: ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may not be as virile as you think...

There may still be something that you aren’t even aware of wrong with your reproductive system. A recent study revealed that if you don’t get enough of a certain nutrient, you risk sterility—or worse.

Truth is, if you’re like most men, you’re probably not getting enough folate.

This is a member of the B complex of vitamins. Leafy greens like spinach and kale are especially rich in folate, along with dried beans, peas, and turnips. We’ve known for decades that it plays a critical role in female reproductive health, improving fertility and insuring the health of the developing fetus.

Turns out it’s just as important for male fertility.]]></description>
