Thanks to Arne for always reminding us about the vitally important mineral magnesium. Almost all of us are deficient, and could benefit from supplementation. "Magnesium is a vital nutrient that is often deficient in modern diets. Our ancient ancestors would have had a ready supply from organ meats, seafood, mineral water, and even swimming in the ocean, but modern soils can be depleted of minerals and magnesium is removed from water during routine municipal treatment. The current RDA for adults is between 320 and 420mg daily, and the average US intake is around 250mg daily."
Why does this matter?---here's more from an article Arne recently linked on mg and depression-- http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/evolutionary-psychiatry/201106/magnesium-and-the-brain-the-original-chill-pill
