   MODERN FOOD PRODUCTION DANGEROUS?

   You might think pollution is the biggest threat to our health? You may be right. But an increasing number of other factors, are competing about the runner up position.
   Modern tomatoes are usually grown in a mineral rich solution, where the 20 minerals seen as most important to the health, are present. As is the method of much grown food today.
   This has been the claim of the industry at this point, anyway.
   According to a growing number of researchers, however, this truth may, at best, be a very ambiguous one.
   - Even if their claim is the truth, we may be in serious trouble in the long run. The number of twenty or the equivalent in other growths, are shown increasingly to evidently be quite a random decision and nothing to be bragging about. Tests have shown that tomatoes grown in «completely natural soil», have a mineral count of several hundred. And even if there was a possibly good reason (at the time), to assume that the 20, being used at present, in the mineral solution, are among the most important, there is simply no way we can be certain of this. There’s no way we can recreate the factor or number of factors, present in nature, in a laboratory. What we can say at this point, is that lack of essential trace minerals in modern diets, is causing an ever growing number of deficiency diseases throughout the world, especially where consummation of artificial food products is most prevalent.
   - And there’s no relief in sight. The new, incoming ways of producing food, like «Genetic Modification», are quite evidently another step in the wrong direction. Ironically laboratory tests, do show that the more removed from nature, life is, the more unhealthy it becomes. Most tests are done in labs controlled by multinational corporations, though, and are only being made available to the public by «disgruntled, former employees», particularly on the Internet. Public research is also, increasingly so, funded by corporations or corporation controlled institutions.
   The interview is ending with a heartfelt statement.
   - It doesn’t look good. Not good at all!
