One must make a distinction between organic soil and mineral soil. Most organic growers will till crushed rock dust into their organic soil to supply minerals. The idea of a shortage of minerals in mineral soil is , to me, ridiculous. Of course different areas have different minerals in different proportions and always have. and maybe volcanos etc do help refresh the soil world wide with foreign minerals. [most of it winds up at the poles] We are presently in the middle of the highest volcanic activity period in centuries. BTW A forest fire distributes minerals too. Seen any lately?
I've heard over and over that, mineral wise, our plants today are different from the plants that our great grandparents ate. But I have not seen any comparitive analysis of the old plants to prove it..nor did our great grandparents live longer and their ability to grow healthy crops wasn't greater. I hear over and over that cancer rates are higher now than 100 years ago. In what age group? At what diagnosis level? 100 years ago, really old people were rare and most who died at any age never saw a doctor...and the doctors they did see couldn't diagnose diddily squat in comparison. For instance: TB along with just about any other lung ailment was known as consumption and Arizona was the cure.
