Another possible reason is that some PhD's look a few nutrients as if
that was all we got from the eggs (just like they look only at a few
soil nutrients to measure the soil's health). I would imagine there
are a thousand other micro-things in the soil and in our food which we
don't even know about but which altogether makes the soil and the food
complete and whole. That's why organic soil and food make us healthier
although measurements show they shouldn't.
