XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Hello Suze, again:There are several students of

Albrecht's (and/or Carey Reams)which are furthering their cause.The

man at Pike lab's is one of them I believe. He is in your neighborhood

(in Northeast). I'm using some of his instruments for Brix testing,

however I've gotten very little testing done. Brix testing makes

sense to me but I'm " new " to it relative to testing whole fresh food

quality and testing plants. I've intended to look at the Brix talk

list but haven't gotten it done.

> XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX It is an interesting idea. Wonder whether

has some info on the research. One University in Maine, I

think, has done some testing on nutrient content of organic fresh

foods and it is the only university I've heard of doing it. More

research is needed in this area, I think, so us organic/Bio-

dynamic /sustainable/backyard/frontyard producers can verify

nutrient content or nutrient density in our products.I hope some of

these studies are completed before these products are totally

replaced by the toxic chemical grown GMO'd stuff. Dennis Kemnitz
