Vitamins and Minerals

Much information is scattered around the web about things like the difference between minerals and vitamins, the types of vitamins, a list of vitamins, and all that. In the UK, we see NHS output always at the top of Internet searches, giving what the NHS says is reliable information about how vitamins are so crucial for health. That’s great, and people should read what the NHS says.

Across the pond, in the United States, there is even more information about the benefits of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and all that kind of thing. There is so much information about the topic that it could confuse the average reader.

Experts understand how vitamins, in particular, work in metabolic pathways and their roles in enzymatic reactions.

Regarding the role minerals play in biosystems, experts know about the effects of three minerals: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Indeed, so essential are these three minerals in agricultural production that the chemical industry manufactures NPK fertilizer, mainly to keep these three minerals in farm soils after each harvest.
But what about the other minerals? There are over 75 minerals in the Earth’s crust with which all life has evolved. Claiming that we only need 12 to 16 of them to stay healthy is like saying we can drive a vehicle for 500 miles on just one gallon of gas/petrol.

For the health industry to completely ignore over 50 trace minerals is rather worrying. They are ignored because hardly any research has been done to find out what they do.

Does a lack of ionic silver harm us? No one knows because no long-term clinical trials have been carried out. Why? Because it’s time-consuming and expensive. Where there’s no profit, there’s no incentive to find out things that may even impact our health.

So, we are left with nagging doubts about the mineral content of today’s mass-produced food. Could there be a link between this and why Doctors’ surgeries are always packed with sick people?

It makes you think.
