If the average American is average in his/her diet ONLY due to his ignorance, then my advice could bring his/her attention to the problem that can be solved without a miracle. However, I realize that he/she can be average in other aspects, and for those... my advice will probably only agitate him/her. > >I am sure this choice is right.

And that is fine, Jack. My advice was not directed specifically to you. There're others on this list, you know. And if you eat a refined diet and supplement with only what you know about, you may find yourself down the road wondering why you STILL developed xyz health condition. You don't know what you don't know; hence, eating whole foods, including whole food supplements, will more likely cover all nutrients that your body needs.
