scientific research?

Since the United States produces more nutritional products than all the
other countries combined, why is it that the United States
Ranks #l in degenerative diseases?
Something to think about.
Your food should supply you with everything that you need to maintain optimal health.
But with our soils depleted with the essential minerals and the advent of
modern technology and chemicals to increase production your foods do not supply you with the vital important nutrients your body requires to maintain optimal
health.
Two recent studies reported that our
fresh fruits and vegetables are lower in certain
vitamins and minerals today than they were as little as 30 years ago. One
analysis compared levels of 7 vitamins and
minerals found in 25 common fruits and vegetables between 1951
and 1999. Overall, nutrient losses far exceeded nutrient
gains. Of particular concern were losses in foods that
are reported to be good sources of a particular
nutrient. These include broccoli ( calcium,
riboflavin,
vitamin
A, and vitamin
C ), spinach
( riboflavin
and vitamin
A ), and potatoes, cauliflower,
strawberries, tomatoes,
and green peppers ( vitamin C ). Whereas one serving of broccoli
would have supplied more than the current RDA of vitamin
A for adult males in 1951, one would have to
eat more than two servings today to obtain the same
amount of vitamin
A. Two peaches would have supplied the
current RDA of vitamin
A for adult women in 1951. Today, a woman
would have to eat almost 53 peaches to meet her daily
requirements! Another study compared data collected in
1930 and 1980 for 8 minerals
in 40 fruits and vegetables. The author reported
significant losses of calcium,
magnesium,
copper
and sodium in vegetables, and magnesium,
iron,
copper
and potassium
in fruits. The foods were also significantly higher in
water and lower in dry matter (e.g., fiber
) content.
Even in 1936 the Senate issued a report that America’s
farm soils were depleted of the vital minerals and trace minerals, resulting in our foods, (fruits, vegetables and grains) being void of the nutrients
to keep us healthy - no matter how much we eat...

The Reason:
One of the areas of great concern is our topsoil.
-
Over the years our soils has been depleted of the important essential
minerals due to continued growing of crops and misuse of our lands. Instead of replacing our soils with minerals, chemicals are being put into
the soil
to make them better looking to the human eye and as far as the nutritional
benefits
are concerned they only have a fraction as compared to years ago.
-
As more and more chemicals and fertilizers are being introduced into our
soils,
they destroy the microbial life,
which are necessary to reduce the minerals in
our
soils to a form that plants could absorb. The microbes in the soil secrete the enzymes necessary to dissolve the
minerals into an ionic state so plants can take them in.
So… no Microbes… no Minerals
To make matters worse! The food manufacturers refine out most of the remaining nutritional
ingredients from the produce compound this problem.
To give you a good example:
Take the manufacturing of white bread. The food companies take the
whole grain cereal and then through their procedure of processing remove the germ and bran, that contains the vitamins, from the grain.
Since these parts contain the vitamins, you are now left with just the
starch. Over thirty known vitamin and mineral nutrients are removed in this refining
process.
Did you know that your body requires over 90 nutrients in order for you to stay healthy?
Yet the agricultural industry continues to supplement the
soils with NKP (nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous) and in their minds that is sufficient. Where will the other
80+ nutrients come from to keep you healthy?
It’s no wonder that the various degenerative diseases that
so many of us Americans are inflicted with, continues to increase each year.
It is said that most of the degenerative diseases are caused
from mineral and vitamin deficiencies and most chronic diseases can be traced to nutritional deficiencies.
Sure, Prescription drugs and Over-The-Counter medications can relieve us of the symptoms of our medical problem but while relieving us of discomfort and pain, they also prevent absorption
or deplete your body of the essential vitamins and minerals.
Your body cannot make minerals and plants cannot make minerals.
The only way minerals can be absorbed by plants is if they
are in an ionic state and the microbes in the soil transform the minerals into an ionic state.
With this in mind, the only way you will get the sufficient
amount of nutrients to live a healthy life is to add a nutritional supplement to your diet.
The Solution?
The answer is whole food supplements. In fact, when you consider
nutrition, look for whole foods that are nutrient dense which are loaded with
glyconutrients, antioxidants
and phytochemicals and minerals.
Glyconutrients provide
the sugars (not your typical white sugar we all know) that are
beneficial to your well-being, the mono-saccharides that your body uses
for cells to communicate. Glyconutritionals. recently identified as essential
for good human health, address the fundamental structure of the body,
.
Antioxidants are a group of elements, including
vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other substances like phytochemicals that counteracts the process
of oxidation in our bodies. Oxidation causes oxidative depletion which increases
cell dysfunction or causes cell death and phytochemicals work with
antioxidants by aiding the cell's own reparative functions. They also protect us from
toxic chemicals in the environment by deactivating them.
The answer is not about taking just any old vitamin supplement, but
taking nutrients from whole food nutritional concentrates that replace what you should have been receiving from your food in the first place!
In order for your body to absorb and get any benefit from
vitamins, minerals are needed. Without
minerals, vitamins are not properly absorbed and are rapidly eliminated from your body.
For example,
Did you know that diabetes or hypoglycemia involves chromium, zinc and vanadium deficiencies?
We all know osteoporosis is a calcium deficiency, but did you know your body also requires magnesium, boron and Vitamin D in order to
utilize calcium?
As building blocks of all living things, minerals are the
most important nutrients for maximum health. For optimal health over 80 minerals are required. Every cell in your body
depends on minerals for proper structure and function. Minerals are vital
and function as co-enzymes in order for your body to perform its function including energy production, growth and healing.
The many functions of minerals include the:
-
Formation
of blood and bones
-
The
proper composition of body fluids
-
Healthy
nerve function
-
Proper
operation of the cardiovascular system
-
Many
other critical and essential functions
You should be getting the message by now that without minerals, vitamins are useless.
Don’t get the wrong message though; vitamins are essential for
optimal health also.
Keeping your body in balance is the key.
The critical key to optimal health is taking vitamins and nutrients in the right proportions.
Well it seems the AMA has finally come to the conclusion that
"mother knows best" and admits that mothers advice is right - "You DO
need to take your vitamins."
