Corporations had already "fortified" everything else, so why should I have been surprised that they did it to water, too? But I may have reacted prematurely. Year after year, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) shows that America, while being corpulently overfed, is ridiculously undernourished.

In fact, the NHANES people concluded that "a low proportion of the U.S. population has an adequate diet." Apparently, putting vitamins or nutrients in chewing gum, chocolate milk, Rice Krispie bars, and yes, water, isn't a fix.

For instance, NHANES has often found that normal weight people eat more sugar than obese people. You have to take info like that with a grain of sugar-glazed and deep-fried salt, though, because fat people are notorious for lying on questionnaires. They don't want you to know that the reason for their obesity might be related to poor food choices.

Instead, they want you to think they were all slim-hipped Swedish boys and girls until they sassed a wizard who retaliated by putting a fat curse on them. Regardless, the NHANES usually reveals what appears to be largely reliable info, and for the most part, it's a little scary: 32% of Americans don't get enough B6. 4% don't get enough vitamin E.

Granted, these deficiencies are all based on government-determined RDAs (Recommended Dietary Allowances) or EARs (Estimated Average Requirements), so they don't take into consideration things like activity levels, chronic health problems, or how certain nutrients require the presence of others to be effective. In other words, the deficiencies could be much worse or more prevalent than their surveys indicated.

Likewise, certain nutrients don't have RDAs at all, which has probably led to a lack of awareness that's responsible for "deficiency rates" of 93%, 95%, and 97% for choline, fiber, and potassium, respectively. There are several potential reasons for this dearth of vitamins: Soil quality has gradually diminished due to modern farming methods. Food allergies abound.

Never mind that the mineral plays a role in over 300 biochemical reactions, not to mention keeping testosterone levels high, magnesium intake is also inversely related to arterial calcification. Adequate levels of magnesium keep calcium dissolved in the blood so that it can't "turn to rock" in your veins and arteries (or your kidneys, either, thus helping to prevent kidney stones).

If heart disease is America's number one killer, is it far-fetched to think that our chronically low magnesium intake is responsible for a good part of it? There are several things you can do, though, to ensure adequate, or at least better, nutrient intake, many of which are common sense: Eat organ meats whenever possible, as described in The Zombie Diet.

Consume organic vegetables and fruits when possible (as they're somewhat more likely to be more nutrient dense). Take a magnesium supplement like ZMA every day (given that its link to heart health is so compelling). If you can't do any of the above things with any regularity, consider taking a multi-vitamin to cover your bases.

(This is a last-choice recommendation). The NHANES survey also revealed a surprisingly high incidence of anemia or iron deficiency in general. While most men shouldn't take iron supplements without a physician's consent (for fear of hemochromatosis), women, particularly those of reproductive age, might want to consider augmenting their iron intake.
