It would depend on what other means are. I’m guessing you’re thinking along the lines of supplements and artificial meals?
There’s still stuff like ratio, absorption, bio-availability, and physical stuff (fiber, etc) to think about. It’s not all about getting the nutrients.
We don’t really know all the nutrients. The line between “nutrient” and “medication” gets a bit blurred, right? Plant based anti-inflammatory compounds aren’t nutrients in that they aren’t part of your metabolic chemical reactions, nor will you die without them, but they are still good for you and can stave of disease. “Medication’ isn’t necessarily the right word, but i don’t know if we have a word for that.
I’m sure that something could be equal or superior, I’m just not sure whether or not anything we currently have is equal or superior.
