Re: Nutrient absorption, does the body regulate it?
Then there is the question...are there any nutrients IN our food?
An acquaintance is consulting on a very large farming operation in a third-world country.
Darn trouble is that he favors machine methods of farming.
I've seen videos of great banks of machines tilling the soil, the whole width of fields...throwing up major clouds of dust, and killing the soil microorganisms as they go.
If the soil microorganisms are vital to breaking down the rock which contains all nutrients and vital to deliver the nutrients to plant roots, then how can the harvested food deliver nutrients to us?
In 1968 I heard that it would take 75 bowls of 1968 spinach to equal the nutrients in one bowl of 1930's spinach.
Isn't it odd that machines were put on our growing soil in the 1930's or thereabouts?
And, the economy took a memorable nosedive?
Please...think about that dust!
...Dead/dehydrated microorganisms.
