(I don't like being a Michael Pollan groupie, but at the same time, I always find myself agreeing with the things he writes.) His premise is that science doesn't understand micronutrients well enough to put them in our food correctly, but if we eat foods that naturally have lots of nutrients, we don't need to worry about what they ARE - we'll get what we need.<br /><br />I think that whole grains have a lot of micronutrients (ironic that enriched flour is made by removing the nutrients and then artificially putting them back). Fruits and veggies, of course, are full of good stuff.Johttp://www.handsfreecooking.netnoreply@blogger.com
