Every thing starts with Sinclair’s (link) incredibly obvious but often forgotten points; it is the presence and interaction of nutrients including minerals that allows cells to exist and function; our existence is ultimately conditional on the presence of those nutrients in our diets. There is no middle ground; they are present or they are not; if present they are sufficient, insufficient or deficient. The amount needed for optimal function will also depend on the adequacy of co-nutrients. In Sinclair’s words:

The deficiency of any nutrient which is essential for every tissue will eventually lead to abnormal function in every tissue. That is so incontrovertibly obvious that I am continually astonished by the eminence of the medical scientists to whom it must be forcefully restated.”
“The second is that when deprivation of an essential nutrient occurs, not all tissues will be simultaneously and equally affected, and not all individuals will react in the same way. Which tissue shows symptoms first will depend on the genetic inheritance of the individual and on his or her exposure to environmental factors and lifestyle events.

The purpose of this section is to provide information on topical issues generally that relate directly or indirectly to diet and health, to hopefully inform and create dialogue.
