I think it shows the limitations of agriculture. Plant-based nutrition (as I know from reading Dr. Ede) has all kinds of barriers to absorption built into it. The number from the lab turns out to be only 10% bio-available in the end.

Add in the way carbs alone trigger hunger through various methods, and highly agrarian carb-based diets turn into a weapon of disease. Modern methods ensure these "traditional diets", when offered in even more processed ways, are like mainlining a drug right to the vein.
