never said it was worse. what I did say is it's not better either
Well fantastic - best to go for the one with the least impact to the environment and suffering then!
To make one redundant point, a nice thing about the less natural sourcing of things is that exact dosages can be measured during synethesis - so when tree bark is swapped out for aspirin, opium for morphine etc. you can get reliable, pure dosages for medicine. I don't think that's really very important for vitamins of course.
