The trace minerals are being taken up by the plants, harvested, and eaten. But guess what? The fertilizers being used to keep the soil producing more plants every season do not contain trace minerals. The economics of mass agriculture dictate that fertilizers contain *only* the minimum that the plants need. So the trace minerals are exhausted from the soil and never replaced. > Of course, a whole bunch of this literature is pushed by those who > are selling mineral supplements, so I really don't know what to > think. I'll be the first to admit that was the first place I ever heard about this concept. But I've seen other items from government and medical nutrition sources as well. I also can't deny that I feel a *lot* better when taking a good vitamin and mineral supplement. Be well, Mike D.
