Verbatim Unabridged extracts from the
74th Congress 2nd Session:
"Our physical well-being is more
directly dependent upon the minerals we take into our systems than upon calories or
vitamins, or upon the precise proportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates we
consume."
"Do you know that most of us today are
suffering from certain dangerous diet deficiencies which cannot be remedied until depleted
soils from which our food comes are brought into proper mineral balance?"
"The alarming fact is that foods
(fruits, vegetables and grains) now being raised on millions of acres of land that no
longer contain enough of certain minerals are starving us - no matter how much of them we
eat. No man of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his system with the
minerals he requires for perfect health because his stomach isn't big enough to hold
them."
"The truth is that our foods vary
enormously in value, and some of them aren't worth eating as food. Our physical well-being
is more directly dependent upon the minerals we take into our systems than upon calories
or vitamins or upon the precise proportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates we
consume."
"This talk about minerals is novel and
quite startling. In fact, a realization of the importance of minerals in food is so new
that the textbooks on nutritional dietetics contain very little about it. Nevertheless, it
is something that concerns all of us, and the further we delve into it the more startling
it becomes."
"You'd think, wouldn't you, that a
carrot is a carrot - that one is about as good as another as far as nourishment is
concerned? But it isn't; one carrot may look and taste like another and yet be lacking in
the particular mineral element which our system requires and which carrots are supposed to
contain."
"Laboratory tests prove that the
fruits, the vegetables, the grains, the eggs, and even the milk and the meats of today are
not what they were a few generations ago (which doubtless explains why our forefathers
thrived on a selection of foods that would starve us!)"
"No man today can eat enough fruits
and vegetables to supply his stomach with the mineral salts he requires for perfect
health, because his stomach isn't big enough to hold them! And we are turning into big
stomachs."
"No longer does a balanced and fully
nourishing diet consist merely of so many calories or certain vitamins or fixed proportion
of starches, proteins and carbohydrates. We know that our diets must contain in addition
something like a score of minerals salts."
"It is bad news to learn from our
leading authorities that 99% of the American people are deficient in these minerals, and
that a marked deficiency in any one of the more important minerals actually results in
disease. Any upset of the balance, any considerable lack or one or another element,
however microscopic the body requirement may be, and we sicken, suffer, shorten our
lives."
"We know that vitamins are complex
chemical substances which are indispensable to nutrition, and that each of them is of
importance for normal function of some special structure in the body. Disorder and disease
result from any vitamin deficiency. It is not commonly realized, however, that vitamins
control the body's appropriation of minerals, and in the absence of minerals they have no
function to perform. Lacking vitamins, the system can make some use of minerals, but
lacking minerals, vitamins are useless."
"Certainly our physical well-being is
more directly dependent upon the minerals we take into our systems than upon calories or
vitamins or upon the precise proportions of starch, protein of carbohydrates we
consume."
"This discovery is one of the latest
and most important contributions of science to the problem of human health."
