| 0:20.1 | and important than that is that there's been a change to the quality of soil such |

| 0:30.2 | sufficiently as they were previously and the reason for that is that we've |
| 0:34.2 | disrupted the microbiome of the soil and we're thinking about micronutrient |
| 0:38.0 | density to vitamins minerals, amino acids, and we're considering the |
| 0:42.1 | crucial role of bioavailability, what do we know about which foods are most |
| 0:47.6 | nutrient dense and most bioavailable? Well, thankfully we have a study to answer this question. This is the most accurate, reliable, validated study |
| 0:56.0 | on the nutrient density of foods that we have to date. |
