Do you have a new resource to share?

[Robert Heltman]

Dear Judy:  On the subject of food crops having lost nutrient content over
the last 20+ years, you might track down the following from The Kushi
Institute in MA....Alex Jack at e-mail: shenwa at bcn.net.

 "Thank you for your inquiry regarding our study on the decline in
nutrients in U.S. foods between the 1970s and the late 1990s. Our study
was based on new food composition tables posted on the Internet by the
USDA compared with the last published version over 20 years ago. We
found in a random sampling of garden vegetables that vitamin and mineral
content were down right across the board about 25 to 50%. Grains, beans,
and other foods showed lesser nutrient declines, but also a clear trend.

    Organic Gardening magazine contacted us about posting our article
and tables/charts on its web site, which I imagine is
organicgardening.com
    If you would like a hard copy of the original article, please email
me your mailing address.

    Kind regards,

Hi to all:

Do you or your organization have a new resource to share? We are looking
for these to publish in Communicating Food for Health Newsletter. This is
your chance to promote a product that has been created in 1999 or 2000.

Thanks,
Judy
