Q: If a vitamin is defined as a vital nutrient, why are some vitamins illegal in some U.S. states?
|
  |
Dr. W: The definition of a vital nutrient can change according to who defines the term. The same
goes for the word illegal, which in certain countries cannot be uttered without receiving a fine.
As for America, the Black Market sells pills it calls vitamins but are actually granules of sesame
and sometimes the shavings from hammerheads. You will know that a vitamin is illegal if you don't
see it for sale in a health or drug store, unless the stores are out of stock, then the vitamin
could be legal but not available in that health or drug store.

Dr. W: Yes but remember you won't get as warm as if you get it from Earth's star in the sky.

  |
Q: Was Vitamin B discovered after Vitamin A was discovered and it is called Vitamin B because
of that?
|
  |
Dr. W: Of course, and the cow jumped over the moon.
|
  |
Q: What vitamin is good for stopping Vitamin A from working?
|
  |
Dr. W: Vitamin P for poison.
