Fruits and Vegetables are Now Weenies!

In 1936, a group of doctors sounded an alarm to the US Senate. It was a dire warning that the mineral content of the soil was eroding. Vegetables were losing their power and people were at risk. Congress did nothing and today we’re feeling the effects.
Nutrient content in fruits and vegetables declining.
Just look at the loss of vitamins and minerals in fruits and vegetables today compared to 1975.
- Apples: vitamin A is down 41%
- Sweet peppers: vitamin C is down 31%
- Watercress: iron is down 88%
- Broccoli: calcium and vitamin A are down 50%
- Cauliflower: vitamin C is down 45%; vitamin B1 is down 48%; and vitamin B2 is down 47%
- Collards greens: vitamin A is down 45%; potassium is down 60%; and magnesium is down 85%
These are the USDA’s own numbers. The vitamin and mineral content of our fruits and vegetables has dramatically plummeted — in just 34 years!
Notice that minerals like iron and magnesium have dropped by more than 80 percent. That’s from commercial farming and powerful fertilizers that practically sterilize the soil — leaving it with little to no mineral content.
If the soil doesn’t have minerals, there’s no way for vegetables to absorb them. And that answers the question of why the use of Excelerite is so important!

When Nutrients Turn Noxious
If global warming seems ominous, consider this new assessment of how humans have disrupted the natural cycling of nitrogen. By using chemical fertilizers, burning fossil fuels and cultivating crops that convert nitrogen into forms plants can use, humankind has over the past century doubled the total amount of atmospheric nitrogen that is converted, or fixed, every year on land. The nitrogen glut is already causing “serious” loss of soil nutrients, acidification of rivers and lakes, and rising atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. Moreover, the oversupply probably explains decreases in the number of species in some habitats, as well as long-term declines in marine fish catches and, in part, the algal blooms that are an unwelcome spectacle in many coastal areas.
That alarming evaluation, to be formally published this summer in Ecological Applications, is the work of eight senior ecologists chaired by Peter M. Vitousek of Stanford University. Their study identifies as the chief culprit the industrial fixation of nitrogen gas to make fertilizer. “The immediacy and rapidity of the recent increase of nitrogen fixation is difficult to overstate,” the researchers say. More than half the nitrogen fertilizer ever made before 1990 was used during the single decade of the 1980s, they note.
Industry now fixes 80 million metric tons of nitrogen every year to make fertilizer. Leguminous crops, which harbor nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and fossil fuels, which liberate nitrogen compounds when burned, together make another 60 million tons of nitrogen available to living things. The natural global rate of nitrogen fixation on land is between 90 and 140 million metric tons, and the excess stimulates plant growth. Moreover, by clearing forest and draining wetlands humans make the situation worse, because those activities liberate nitrogen that would otherwise be stored.
The Environmental Protection Agency, recognizing the damage caused by nitrogen oxides from combustion, has introduced regulations to limit by several million tons emissions from power stations and other industrial plants. And it is negotiating further limits on the already tightly controlled amounts emitted by vehicles. But there are no effective federal controls on the amount of chemical fertilizer a farmer can use. “It is my feeling that this is an emerging issue,” says Gary T. Gardner of the Worldwatch Institute. Gardner asserts that demand for industrially produced fertilizer could be reduced if farmers instead put on their fields organic mineral fertilizers with recovered municipal food and yard waste, rich sources of nitrogen and carbon that together make up a third of the waste volume.
Employing fertilizers more efficiently might be “our best hope for doing something,” Vitousek suggests. The Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund is pressuring the EPA to limit runoff into the Mississippi, which the litigation group contends is responsible for a 7,000-square mile ”dead zone” that appears every summer in the Gulf of Mexico. Reductions are possible: some states, including Arizona, have initiated successful incentive programs to lower chemical fertilizer runoff. And some U.S. farmers have reduced artificial fertilizer consumption voluntarily. A spokesman for the Fertilizer Institute in Washington, D.C., a manufacturers organization, says industry is already developing ways of getting more growth from less fertilizer. But assessments such as Vitousek’s report should, the institute argues, acknowledge the rapid escalation in the human population’s demand for food. It points out that global nitrogen chemical fertilizer use in 1995 was down 3 percent from the peak year of 1988 – although it apparently is on the rise again. Those numbers may need closer scrutiny as the global population zooms to an estimated 10 billion during the next century.
