EVEN IF THEY EAT THEIR VEGETABLES, IT IS NOT ENOUGH!
"In 1948 you could buy spinach that had 158 milligrams of iron per hundred gramsBut by 1965, the maximum they could find had dropped to 27 milligrams. In 1973, it was averaging 2.2 milligrams. That’s down from 158! That means today you'd have to eat over seventy bowls of spinach to get the same amount of iron that one bowl might have given you back in ’48.”
- Linda Grover, August Celebration
“No man or woman today can eat enough fruits and vegetables he or she requires for perfect health because his or her stomachs aren’t big enough to hold them. It is bad news to learn from our leading authorities that 99 percent 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, and shorten our lives."
