I heard a promotional tape once sent by a liquid vitamin company . This guy 
who was on wild kingdom for Prudential Insurance with  Merlin Perkins started 
life on a farm went to agriculture school then became a vet then a people MD. 
He says that farm animals have to be healthy because it is not cost effective 
to do hip replacements on pigs or cows to enable them to mate and produce 
more etc.... So farmers have to take good care of livestock.  Get this  since 
1950s they all knew that ulcers were caused by a bacteri called  H. pylori 
bacter. but medical docs still had people on bland food and milk and other 
meds to deal with symptoms when farmers dosed with Flagys to get rid of that 
bacteri as people MDs do now.  Also that there was a agriculture dept report 
in 1935 that said we are depleteing the soil and that nutrional value of 
veggies is decreased. Lots of other stuff in the tape about zinc defeiences 
give you gray hair. ETC   thanks for the reminder  guess i need to get back 
on those vitamins since brocoli is practically worthless nutrition at this 
point. 
The other gist was that most animals die of a nutrition related problem. lack 
of calcium makes weak bones which cause hip fracture which then begets 
pnumonia and death.  not necessarily in that order but you get the point.  
Mom was right  you are what you eat.
