Supplements are not complete, we hardly understand all the extra good things that are present in fresh produce. At least one study has been done comparing cancer protection provided by anti-oxidants from capsules and getting them from fruit and veg. The capsules gave much less advantage.
Fruit and veg give you fibre which is also healthy and reduces bowel cancer. Lets face it Fruit tastes better than pills as well!

The pleasure of eating alone is enough reason to get your vitamins natures way!
The act of eating produces needed reactions in our bodies and some need the time it takes to eat the apple! They also need the missing elements from the pill form! Fibre and carbohydrates trigger the reactions that are needed to digest anything you swallow! Without food the supplements don't work! If your eating the food then you don't need the supplement! We have managed to survive natures way far longer than we have been able to artificially and I believe our bodies know what they are doing!

Water.
Part of the importance of eating fruit /veg is that the body obtains so much water from it - this is especially important in areas of the world where water may not be pure - as fruit / veg juice is *almost* always safe to consume.

Vitamins. Apparently they have never proven there are any benefits from taking artifical vitamin supplements.

natural vitamins, fibre, enjoyment of eating, plus socialising.
NO ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS.

Nothing- but who wants to live on pills? and your body absorbs nutrients differently from foods than it does from pills- especially if you have any intestinal problems.
