Millions of Americans suffer from an almost completely ignored epidemic of drug-induced nutrient depletion that can cause grave health problems. Perhaps 30% of pharmaceutical side effects are the direct result of these drug-induced nutrient deficiencies. In other words, a drug "robs" you of one or more nutrients or other helpful substances, and this lack of nutrients causes additional side effects.
In a sense, the drug acts as an "anti-vitamin pill," taking away the substances you need for good health. Thus, nutrient depletion caused by the drugs—rather than the drugs themselves—is often directly responsible for many of the side effects associated with pharmaceuticals.
Among the most common drugs linked to nutrient depletion are oral contraceptives, cholesterol-lowering statins, and antibiotics. These and many other over-the-counter and prescription medications can interfere with your body's ability to digest, absorb, synthesize, or make use of certain nutrients, leading to nutrient deficiency-related "side effects."
