Leo has been consuming a very poor diet that is low in fruits and vegetables for most of his 27 years. He is not worried, though. He thinks that his daily multivitamin, plus his individual supplements of betacarotene, vitamin C and selenium are adequate to preventdegenerative diseases such as cancer and heart disease.   Using 12-point font, double spaced in approximately 1-2 pages (the length requirement is for the body of your essay which does not include your name or reference list), discuss whether consuming foods rich in nutrients is more likely to reduce the risk of degenerative diseases than taking a broad array of supplements. Find, cite and evaluate at least one source of information (other than the textbook) that supports your view about food vs supplements.  Then find, cite and evaluate at  least one source of information (other than the textbook) that is opposing your view.  State your conclusion after discussing these articles.
