Question by Zu: Why can’t people just live off of vitamins alone?
Vitamins can supply your body with all the nutrients and elements it needs, so why eat food ever again? I know this is extreme, but what are your thoughts.

The sponsoring thought behind my question: There is no telling what they are putting in food nowadays…hormone injections, pesticides/chemicals, edible plastic, preservatives etc. Americans are coming down with weird diseases related to diet. I don’t even want to mention High Fructose corn syrup. Simply, food companies just want make money. They can care less about your health. So, how about those Vitamins?

Best answer:

Answer by MarcusPeterson
I was wondering the same thing, but no, your body doesn’t use vitamins for energy. You need glucose from food and fuel. Your body uses carbohydrates, proteins, and fats differently, and all are nessecary. You need six macro nutrients: carbs, proteins, fat, vitamins, minerals, and water.
