                                According to the CDC, only about one in ten Americans eats the recommended daily amount of vegetables. This statistic leads many to wonder if they can simply take a pill instead of eating vegetables to cover their nutritional bases. The consensus among health experts is that no supplement can fully replace the complex and synergistic benefits of whole plant foods.
