[MC_USA] Evidence of mineral depletion, Congressional Record in 1936

 

Evidence of mineral depletion

 

The following are quotes from U.S. Senate Report #264,

published in the Congressional Record in 1936:

 

Garnett said:

The following are quotes from U.S. Senate Report #264,

published in the Congressional Record in 1936:

 

" Laboratory tests prove that the fruits, the

vegetables, the grains, the eggs, and even the milk

and the meats of today are not what they were a few

generations ago (which doubtless explains why our

forefathers thrived on a selection of foods that would

starve us!). "

 

" It is bad news to learn from our leading authorities

that 99% of the American people are deficient in these

minerals, and that a marked deficiency in any one of

the more important minerals actually results in

disease. Any upset of the balance, any considerable

lack of one or another element, however microscopic

the body requirement may be, and we sicken, suffer,

shorten our lives. "

 

" We know that vitamins are complex chemical substances

which are indispensable to nutrition, and that each of

them is of importance for normal function of some

special structure in the body. Disorder and disease

result from any vitamin deficiency. It is not commonly

realized, however, that vitamins control the body's

appropriation of minerals, and in the absence of

mineral's they have no function to perform. Lacking

vitamins, the system can make some use of minerals,

but lacking minerals, vitamins are useless. "

 

>..there should be more evidence in the general

population of deficiency syndromes.<

 

I consider 50%+ of the population getting heart

disease and 50% of the population getting cancer

evidence enough. Plus the sharply increasing incidence

of diabetes, arthritis, etc., convinces me.
