My wife and I were just looking for a safe, effective way
to help our sons' "un-curable" health challenge, but we've
learned some amazing tidbits and facts along the way. I
hope you will feel like you've learned something helpful
via this article about "subtle and typically unknown", yet
absolutely profound, nutrient deficiencies all around us.
Did you know that USDA scientific studies show that in
1951, an adult women could consume just 2 peaches and
receive the current RDA of vitamin A, yet today, that women
would have to consume over 50 peaches to receive the same
amount of vitamin A? (USDA Study results noted in
Pediatrics Journal, 1998, 133(5): 593-600.)
Actually USDA nutrient charts show an average of greater
than 25% nutrient losses for all fruits and vegetables.
Even the broccoli in the grocery store that you think is
chocked full of excellent nutrients for you and your family
has about 40% less nutrients than broccoli grown
organically and on mineral rich soil of just a few decades
ago.
These kinds of nutrient deficiencies in both vitamin and
mineral content have been noted in many studies and,
because of this the USDA has now changed their 5-7 servings
of FRESH fruits and vegetables to 10-12 servings daily and
both they and the AMA (JAMA, Jun 2002) have added the
recommendation to include a quality supplement in your
diet. They recognize we are not getting all of what our
bodies need from modern grown food.
There are lots of reasons for these nutrient decreases,
some of them being:
Green picking, failure to let the soil rest, chemical
fertilizer dependence including just the minerals NPK
(which is all that's needed to grow good looking crops, yet
our bodies need 50+ minerals to function optimally) and the
widespread usage of toxic chemicals.
Quoting U.S. Senate document #264: "The alarming fact is
that foods (fruits, vegetables, and grains) now being
raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contain
enough of certain minerals and are starving us. No matter
how much of them we eat, no man today can eat enough fruits
and vegetables to supply his system with the minerals he
requires for perfect health because his stomach isn't big
enough to hold them. The truth is that our foods vary
enormously in value, and some of them aren't worth eating
as food."
To Your Health & Longevity.
