In the movie, they did an interview with some farmers in the Midwest and their biggest concern with the food supply in America, is the lack of minerals in the soil from modern farming techniques.
It is been very well documented over the last hundred years the amount of mineral loss in the soil as farmers no longer add minerals back into the soil. they only use NPK fertilizers to force crops to grow.
The problem for you and I is if you get a traditional supermarket tomato the amount of nutrition that is in there is much less than it used to be.
In one of the books that I have, vitamin C in an orange Is 10 times less now than it was 50 years ago.
So how might that affect you, well, vitamin C is heavily involved with your immune system function and your collagen formation.
This is one of the reasons we've promoted whole food supplements for the last 14 years.
One of the other interesting highlights from the movie was the subtle but powerful comment that the rise in autoimmune diseases corresponds with the rise of genetically engineered crops.
This is a topic that we will cover later in our 50 week class series online.
