With that advantage, 3 to 10 TIMES the value, if the FDA was on our side they would spend the money to find out those important facts to benefit our good health. But reality is that if agriculture could benefit average health that would reduce the FDA income. That would be opposite to their behavior pattern. What was that theory? Government of the people, by the people and FOR the people?? Bob

To measure free amino acids, takes the ability to do extractions. There are some labs that do this analysis, just don't know them off the top of my head.

Doing nitrate versus protein testing might also work. We've done a bit of testing that shows vegetables, grapes and strawberry grown with healthy foodwebs in the soil contain 3 to 10 times more protein than plants grown in conventional systems.

No replication, however, sigh. Not enough money.
