since vitamin K is mostly in vegetables and cereals do you think we are ingesting our real recommended value since everything now days is either prepared to where the nutritional value of the food is so low, that our best chances of absorbing its real nutritious value is by eating them raw?
ReplyDeleteThat's a very interesting point to make, Shannon. It defintely depends on your food sources and how often someone is eating certain foods with vitamin k. I think that the best way to gage your vit k intake is through the fruits and vegetables you're eating. Good question and thank you for sharing your thoughts!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathrine,
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this chart on your blog. I think that a great deal of the population is unaware of the amount of each vitamin they need each day, and charts like this make it that much easier for us to learn!
Awesome, glad you liked it! I appreciate the feedback!
