Today soil is missing key nutrients. Scientists have tested soil samples for over 100 years and the statistics are poor mineral values in today's soil. The soil samples have been collected and measured in every state, and every province, in North America. Not one area has adequate mineral-rich soil. This information was presented in 1936 by Dr. Linus Pauling in a Senate document that referred to the findings and problems with the depletion of minerals in the soil.
It has long been known that our soils are depleted of minerals important to the life and health of plants, animals and humans. In 1936 the United States Department of Agriculture issued U. S. Senate Document 264 stating that "virtually all soils in the United States are mineral deficient."
Scientists at the 1992 Earth Summit in Brazil submitted documentation that soils worldwide are depleted of minerals. The agricultural soils in the United States rated as one of the worst with 83% of essential minerals missing.
