  The "measurability" of the non-minimal coupling is discussed by considering
the correction to the Newtonian static potential in the semi-classical
approach. The coefficient of the "gravitational Darwin term" (GDT) gets
redefined by the non-minimal torsion-scalar couplings. Based on a similar
analysis of the GDT in the effective field theory approach to non-minimal
scalar we conclude that for reasonable values of the couplings the correction
is very small.
