We Are All Deficient in Essential Vitamins and Minerals; And Its Killing Us!






The story of our mineral deficient soil and how it effects our food supply based on an article from the Journal of the American College of Nutrition 
 
 

Bottom line up front: Because of soil depletion, crops grown decades ago were much richer in vitamins and minerals than the varieties most of us get today

It would be overkill to say that the carrot you eat today has very little nutrition in it—especially compared to some of the other less healthy foods you likely also eat—but it is true that fruits and vegetables grown decades ago were much richer in vitamins and minerals than the varieties most of us get today. The main culprit in this disturbing nutritional trend is soil depletion: Modern intensive agricultural methods have stripped increasing amounts of nutrients from the soil in which the food we eat grows. Sadly, each successive generation of fast-growing, pest-resistant carrot is truly less good for you than the one before.

A landmark study on the topic by Donald Davis and his team of researchers from the University of Texas (UT) at Austin’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry was published in December 2004 in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition. They studied U.S. Department of Agriculture nutritional data from both 1950 and 1999 for 43 different vegetables and fruits, finding “reliable declines” in the amount of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin (vitamin B2) and vitamin C over the past half century. Davis and his colleagues chalk up this declining nutritional content to the preponderance of agricultural practices designed to improve traits (size, growth rate, pest resistance) other than nutrition.

“Efforts to breed new varieties of crops that provide greater yield, pest resistance and climate adaptability have allowed crops to grow bigger and more rapidly,” reported Davis, “but their ability to manufacture or uptake nutrients has not kept pace with their rapid growth.” There have likely been declines in other nutrients, too, he said, such as magnesium, zinc and vitamins B-6 and E, but they were not studied in 1950 and more research is needed to find out how much less we are getting of these key vitamins and minerals.

The Organic Consumers Association cites several other studies with similar findings: A Kushi Institute analysis of nutrient data from 1975 to 1997 found that average calcium levels in 12 fresh vegetables dropped 27 percent; iron levels 37 percent; vitamin A levels 21 percent, and vitamin C levels 30 percent. A similar study of British nutrient data from 1930 to 1980, published in the British Food Journal,found that in 20 vegetables the average calcium content had declined 19 percent; iron 22 percent; and potassium 14 percent. Yet another study concluded that one would have to eat eight oranges today to derive the same amount of Vitamin A as our grandparents would have gotten from one.

 

What's happening to us as a result:

Cancer, type II diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, arthritis and many other common ailments are scientifically proven nutritional deficiency deceases that we don’t have to have!! They can all be prevented or reversed via methods that don’t require M.D’s or toxic pharmaceutical drugs. I'm talking about proper Nutritional intake daily combined with physical activity and regular sunshine.

For Optimal Health We Need, 60 Minerals, 16 Vitamins, 12 Amino Acids, 3 Essential Fatty Acids (Omega 3 & 6 are essential).  The lack of any these essential nutrients weakens the body's ability to rebuild itself and increases the potential for 900 Nutritional Deficiency Diseases. Every aliment discussed can be addressed with the use of Youngevities 90 For Life Products. Dr. Wallach, author "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" and veterinarian turned doctor has masterfully created the right formula of the essential minerals, vitamins, and omegas each human and each animal needs to prevent, heal, and be cured. It's time to change your life by taking control of your health.

Chances are, you're malnourished! It's disturbing, but true! When you combine today's fast-paced lifestyle with a diet of mass produced, under ripe and overcooked food, you have a recipe for disaster. The bottom line is that most people are not getting the 90 essential nutrients that they need to survive, much less thrive. Malnourishment can lead to or aggravate many of the health concerns that plague millions.
