I haven't heard that freezing depletes minerals, but I have heard that most

types of food preserving techniques deplete vitamins and other nutrients. My

main concern is that our crop soils are so depleted. A few years ago the

National Institute for Health (NIH) in the US made headline news and shocked a

lot of doctors when it announced that a balanced diet may not provide all of the

necessary nutrients and they recommended supplementation.

The following article posted below describes one part of this problem. There is

no shortage of documentation of the mineral depletion of crop soils.

Have you had your spinach today?

In 1948 you could buy spinach that had 158 milligrams of iron per hundred grams.

By 1965, the maximum had dropped to 27 milligrams. In 1973 it was averaging 2.2.

That means you would have to eat 75 bowls of spinach to get the same amount of

iron that one bowl might have given you back in 1948. We have to have cobalt to

process vitamin B12. We need vitamin B12 for healthy red blood cells. Sadly most

of the vegetables that supply cobalt in the diet now test zero.

The top soil over most of the land used to grow fruits and vegetables is very

depleted. This in turn produces crops that are severely low in the necessary

vitamins and mineral that our bodies need for optimum health.

The typical daily diet does not supply the necessary proteins, vitamins and

minerals to properly replace the dying cells in our internal and external

organs. If we fall short our immunity system is weakened leaving us vulnerable

to sickness and disease.

Hi,

I have been told overdosing on Magnesium causes diarhea. It seems

to work for me. Would be easy to check, if someone is low or not??

snip - 2904 characters, including two footers.

john codling is sticking to his claim, but his

argumentations make absolutely no sense. Making a

connection between his low blood magnesium and frozen

food is rather weired, but " make sense " to him.

Two drs informed him of what? That freezing food

depletes magnesium? Even if two drs in the Uk did make

such a statement, which, quite likely, they did not,

john codling is not required to believe everything he

is being told.

Magnesium is evenly distributed on the earth, and its

abundance in the western world is the same as on the

rest of the earth - 2% of the earth's crust, which

makes it the eighth most abundant chemical element.

,

You don't have to " overdose " on the mag. to have diarhea. Some

people just react differently to the mag. (I haven't exerienced this

at all, and I am taking a significant amount right now). A simple

blood test can check your mag level.
