Just for reference. The points I raised remain unresolved here.

Regarding nutritional content of organicaly grown v. conventionally 
grown plants, and particularly hybrids v. older cultivars, some very 
interesting research has been done by Alan Kapuler and Sarangamat 
Gurusiddiah over the past decade. 
	Their work is premised on the twenty protein amino acids as primary 
human food. Their analyses include testing various crops under 
differing conditions for their free amino acid content, using liguid 
chromatography.
	Organically grown foods and older cultivars demonstrate remarkable 
difference from hybrids and conventional food when considered for 
their free amino acid contents. Kapuler and Gurusiddiah's work not 
only challenges our current food production system, but also 
challenges our entire paradigm of nutritional analysis.

For more information write directly to Deep Diversity at 2385 SE 
Thompson St., Corvallis, OR 97333. Request back copies of the Peace 
Seeds Resource/Research Journal. There is a cost to these 
publications, as all the research was funded out of pocket. The 
journals also contain fascinating investigations into the 
coevolutionary layout for the plant "kindom".
