Look, the chemists who measured mineral content in soils and produce 80 to 100 years ago were not clueless noobs. The assays they could run might not be as quick or precise as modern, technologically advanced methods, but they worked quite reliably. They were more labor intensive, certainly.
Analyses of samples of modern produce should be comparable to "typical" samples from a few generations ago, especially if the differences are factors of 5 or more. No sampling or testing errors are going to invalidate *all* significance from such results. So, what are the numbers? Does the green pepper I buy in the grocery store today have one tenth the trace mineral content that the one my grandmother bought did? How does it compare with the one I grow organically in the garden? It ought not require 10 screens of dithering to say what does or doesn't measure up. If the evidence is out there, I'm going to listen to it. Be well, Mike D.
