As a very quick reply.... meaning, no documentation just how to do it. Get Benbrooks paper from EcoFarm.
It has all the data on pesticide residues and children. It is an essential document. Get Virginia Worthington's paper. See the summary on mineral depletion in foods. Make a connect between these minerals and the five major disease killers, and notice that some of these same lacking minerals are important biochemical regulators. See the new information on phytochemicals, nutraceuticals, and functional foods. Gain understanding of holism in whole foods vs food broken apart by processing or by making active ingredient extracts for pharmaceutical sales. The UC-Davis paper was about polyphenolics; i.e., phytochemicals. A lot is emerging on this. Again, holism is the key. See Alan Kapuler's researh on amino acids and genetics. See all the other research from Soil Association, Et al.... gather a bunch of different pieces together. Now get into BD qualitative assessment methods: circular chromatography, sensitive crystallization or better known these days as biocrystallization, and capillary dynamolysis. Now get into water quality assessment methods and tie together water as a carrier of information and energetic quality to the vital quality of foods. Talk about organic foods and what they offer: *pesticide free *sewage-sludge free *GMO free *toxic-laden commercial fertilizer free *etc Now you got it. It is all woven together. Now you got a Powerful picture.
