INDUSTRY MYTHINDUSTRY MYTH

“We can get all the nutrition (vitamins and minerals) we need from our food supply.”

Nutrition in the 21Nutrition in the 21stst CenturyCenturyOverfed and Undernourished!The modern diet differs drastically

compared to that of our ancestors.Although we live in an age of

availability and abundance, we choose to ignore many foods that are good for us.

Processing foods destroys nutrients!

WHY Vitamins & Minerals?WHY Vitamins & Minerals?Your body can’t produce them.Timing is everything.Deficiencies today can hurt

tomorrow.

What happens when we don’t get enough??

Soil Mineral Depletion:Soil Mineral Depletion:Warning…35 Years Ago!Warning…35 Years Ago!“In the future, we will not be able

to rely anymore on our premise that the consumption of a varied balanced diet will provide all the essential trace elements, because such a diet will be very difficult to obtain for millions of people.”◦Dr. Walter Mertz, US Department of

Agriculture, 1977 Statement to Congress

Soil Mineral Depletion:Soil Mineral Depletion:Farming Disrupts Healthy Farming Disrupts Healthy LandLandNatural Land Cultivated Land

Inhabited by a diversity of plant species.

Often limited to a single type of crop, depleting the soil of essential nutrients. (Modern farmers attempt to counter this with crop rotation)

Plants grow according to seasonal and climatic fluctuations.

Manipulated to accelerate the maturation of the plant, sometimes, yielding multiple crops in a single growing season, accelerating mineral depletion.

Replenished by its own dying and decaying plant matter.

Harvested, removing all plant matter, leaving the land barren (today’s organic waste is either incinerated or buried in a toxic mix of trash at massive landfills.)

Soil Mineral Depletion:Soil Mineral Depletion:ChemicalsChemicalsEver increasing demands on the

farmPesticides and herbicides reduce

the plant’s ability to absorb and assimilate the few trace minerals that may be remaining in the soil.

In Conclusion: When nature gets cheated, SO DO THE REST OF US!

3 Potential Solutions3 Potential SolutionsRe-mineralize farmlands.Eat locally grown produce from

organic farms.Provide the body with minerals

and nutrients directly through supplementation. (Patented Oligo Technology, discussed later)
