“What have you noticed when taking ____?”
People often ask the question, “How does drinking this supplement make you feel?” or “What health benefits have you noticed from taking it?”
Well… if you ate a piece of fruit, which is undeniably highly nutritious, and then we asked you what health benefits you felt from eating it, wouldn’t you think we were a little crazy?
If you took a Vitamin C pill and a Vitamin E pill daily, and we asked how it was affecting your health, would you be able to give a definitive objective answer?
If you were to say something like, “Well, last winter I had two colds and this year I haven’t had any,” could we specifically attribute that to the Vitamin C (or perhaps it might be because your mindset and beliefs have also changed, or because you’ve eaten healthier foods than last year)?
Can we ever say one thing consumed specifically affects us in a certain, undeniable way?
