I’d like to see a study where they actually take crops and determine the mineral content. The one you reference is a paper where they combed other papers until they found data they wanted.

They went through 50k+ studies, found 167 they liked, and only 55 of 167 were of quality.

>No evidence of a difference was detected for the remaining 8 of 11 crop nutrient categories analyzed.

Not sure how to interpret this.

That is how meta analyses are meant to be performed. This is a heck of a lot better than listening to one study that you like.

why would one expect thst? How would the method you choose to keep insects and other pests off of your produce affect the contents of the produce?

I can understand organic food having less "inorganic" pesticide in it, but I don't see why the other contents of the product itself would differ.

If the soil has been depleted of nutrients like magnesium, I'd bet that practices which largely shun fertilizers are going to exacerbate any problem in this regard.
