Right foods alone? Have to disagree. Our soil is highly depleted in this
country from over farming and little replenishing takes place. If it's not in
the soil-it's not in the food. Potassium you can count on, it's put back in to
ensure a good yield for farmers. Copper-not generally a concern. If you think
you can count on copper being in your body with even the food raised in
copper-rich soil and take several grams of vitamin C a day- you will develop
copper deficiency. This is serious. I'm not talking about dying at 90 either.
Linus Pauling was quoted as saying something to the effect that all or most
degenerative disease could be traced back to mineral deficiency. I'm sure C was
not the only thing he gave his body. I'd certainly assume a large quantity of
other vitamins and minerals were on his schedule too. I'm talking about dying
at sixty with warning signals of varicose veins and premature wrinkling and
loss of hair pigment. I'm not in a who's right who's wrong battle. I'm just
stating what my own research has lead me to believe. All smartazzity aside-
you
should look this up, you may be getting yourself into trouble here.
