1) It's true that many common fruits and vegetables do have less
nutritive value (at least in some nutrients) than they did, say,
100 years ago. But this is NOT due to "soil depletion", at least
not in the US or Canada -

A myth put forth by organized medicine.

Firstly, _Dr_ Wallach is a Doctor of Chiropractic. Has Chiropractic become
part of "EOM"?

Secondly, Mr Wallach has cited some clearly ridiculous statistics throughout
his magnum opus, _Dead Doctors Don't Lie_ (Apparently living ones,
particularly
this Dr of Chiropractic, do tell lies)> Case in point, the LIE about the
average MD in the USA living to 58. (In fairness he may have gotten that
citation from the 1920's.)

I have made a mistake in this post. I improperly identified Dr Wallace as a
Doctor of Chiropractic. This is incorrect, he is a DVM, or a Veteranarian. I
apologize for posting that in error and for the unfavorable association of his
behavior vis-a-vis Chiropractic.

I recall reading that he did it by going through JAMA (maybe more than
one issue) and averaging the lifespans of anyone whose obituary
appeared there. Very scientific.
