Summary: This paper from the late 1940s ties the growing rates of heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and mental illness in America to the widespread malnutrition of its citizens, a result not just of the removal of nutrients during food processing but, more importantly, of the disappearance of trace minerals in its worn-out soils. The paper focuses on an experiment conducted by Dr. Ira Allison and the famous soil scientist Dr. William Albrecht in which diseased cows feeding on mineral-deficient pastures were returned to health through supplementation with trace minerals. This paper might have caused U.S. health officials to recognize that Americans were suffering massive malnutrition in spite of bellies full of industrially processed foods. Instead, tragically, it was ignored. From the periodical Steel Horizons. Reprint 41A.
