Again, I'm not vegan.  But, this is coming from a vegan -- who you think would be most concerned about nutrients -- and here's his perspective along with some research.  He also states he's posted his bloodwork in other videos.

Thanks for posting that, TR. I'm pretty much in agreement with that. BTW, like you, I'm neither a vegan or vegetarian, but what that guy says makes sense to me.

For the most part, I also agree with him in regard to the ridiculous sales pitch of the video he reviews.
As he states, soil is not "void" of nutrients. If it was "void" of nutrients, the plants would not grow.

Ridiculous video?  

Sounds like some company's pitch advocating the consumption of trace minerals that people fall for.

I was a little irritated near the start of the video where the guy is just saying things like, "Come on, really?", to an obviously sensationalist advert. But overall it seems like good information, and the conclusion that you can just eat more vegetables is at least as reassuring as it is sensible.

On a related note, I read years ago on another forum a doctor saying he'd been telling patients to take a lot of minerals, he said their weight had gone up without any visible change in their appearance (he did believe soil depletion was a significant concern).
