Since soil samples are not the same even taken a few feet apart and
minerals enter the soil not by organic loam but by "mineral" soil [stone]
breakdown, the whole idea of soil depletion of minerals is suspect.
Any given food item will have a variation even in the same field,
especially if trace elements are somewhat rare...like Selenium and Vanadium.
Modern farming, as bad as it may be in some aspects, pays a great deal of
attention to supplementing minerals in soils.
Variety of source location and food types can only help and general
nutrition is far better than it was 100 years ago.
But then, so are the food choices made more choosable, so more choices of
less variety are made possible.
"Back in the old days", you HAD to eat EVERYTHING, [like it or not] just
to get enough to eat.
But everything was so local, that local limitations applied and there were
a LOT of mineral and vitamin deficiencies.
Not that many people lived long enough for a slow disease like Diabetes to
make big problems and sugar was a rarity that few could afford to choose.

(sigh...), and loving sugary goodies, my fasting blood glucose level is
normal. I take 10 micrograms in my daily multivitamins that I get from Walmart.
I read somewhere that the body uses Vanadium to create insulin, and since
it is no longer in the depleted farm soils, it is no longer in the foods.
Ergo, diabetes!
FYI, my late mom was mildly diabetic, and my elderly elder sister (68)
takes 4 shots of insulin a day for her diabetes!

(This is off topic). I got some "junk mail" from Dr. Julian Whitaker
regarding Diabetes. It is the usual glitzy pitch, full of "astonishing
speed cures", "3-Week Miracle treatment claims,", etc., to lure people to
subscribe to his newsletter. But amidst all the hype and hoopla he states
"I'll give you full details about the world's most lifesaving blood sugar
supplement. Vanadium! My colleagues and I have used it with stunning
success for thousands of patients. And in animal studies, this supplement
has eliminated type 2 diabetes, all by itself". Etc.
Anyone know if Vanadium supplements can really help diabetics control
their blood sugar levels, and/or provide other beneficial results?
Thanks,
