Around ten years ago, Lorraine Perretta, Head of Nutrition at Advanced Nutrition Programme, told me something that changed the way I viewed supplements forever. “Madeleine, even if you ate the most nutritious diet possible, you still wouldn’t have a hope in hell of getting anywhere near the vitamins and minerals your grandmother would’ve from the precise same foods. Our soil is depleted. Our foods just can’t offer us what they once could.”
