Essential Minerals And Good Health (EDM1954)

Essential Minerals And Good Health

EDM number 1954 in 2005-06, proposed by David Drew on 30/03/2006.

That this House notes the importance of a healthy diet which requires essential trace minerals; further notes evidence that suggests a depletion of minerals in British soils; further notes that the Cancer Research Campaign is funding a long-term trial into the prevention of cancer by the use of selenium food supplements, a mineral depleted in most British soils; and therefore calls upon the Government to initiate research into increasing selenium levels in fruit and vegetables by adding the mineral to British soils, into the importance of other trace minerals in maintaining good health and into whether growing food on mineral rich soil is the best way to incorporate essential trace minerals into the British diet.

This motion has been signed by a total of 40 MPs.
