50. Yes, the vast majority do get adequate trace minerals from their food.

And then there are the ones who don't. As I said in another post, five DOCUMENTED causes of deficiency --

1) prematurity
2) maternal deficiency (prematurity or absorption issue like Crohns)
3) malnutrition
4) absorption issue during periods of high growth/"leaky gut" issues
5) exposure to teratregens (ON EDIT - somehow got changed to estrogen!)

Symptoms include failure to thrive, developmental delays, "floppy baby" syndrome, neuromuscular issues (hyperspasticity/hypotonia), sensory processing issues, chronic constipation, lack of appetite, CVI and microcephely.

For four out of five children with these symptoms, correcting the deficiency (at safe levels - duh) results in improvement in the symptoms. The younger the child, the faster the results (infants have reported improvement in as little as 72 hours), and other factors include GMAC mobility level, and personality (with "risk taker" personalities reporting faster responses, which is extremely confusing, and I'm still confused by it.) Unfortunately, that means one out of five see no improvement.

And only an IDIOT would think I am advocating for people to overdose; however, the good folks at NIH have well documented numbers for the MAJOR micro nutrients, while the TRACE ones have *NOT* been investigated except by the folks involved with animal husbandry issues, which is crazy!

AND THIS NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION, which is like pulling teeth, especially when editorials like the one I am ranting about get posted saying "no need for further investigation!" because they are ignoring what is happening as "anecdotal" instead of documenting it themselves.
