Default Solar neutrinos and Gravitational differences of a chemical nature

The solar neutrino problem is discussed in the Physics FAQ at:
http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physic..._neutrino.html
In essence, the detected number of neutrinos is consistently smaller
than the expected number based on the known nuclear reaction energy that
is released.

Another seemingly unrelated anomaly is consistently reported by Mario
Nanni in a series of papers in Apeiron Journal with titles such as
"Gravitational differences of a chemical nature", and at last someone
else has taken pity on him and been involved in additional experiments
which confirm the earlier results. Some papers:

Nanni, M. 1997. "Simple Experiments to Test the Dependence of
Gravitational Action on Chemical Composition", Apeiron, vol. 4, no. 1

Nanni, M. 2000, "Dependence of Gravitational Action on Chemical
Composition: New Series of Experiments", Apeiron, vol. 7, no. 3 -4

Nanni, M. 2001, "Gravitational Differences of a Chemical Nature"
Apeiron, Vol. 8, No. 1, January 2001.

The variations are of the order of several parts in 10^-5 and many times
larger than the experimental errors. I think the altitude difference is
several thousand meters. What the experiments show is that the relative
weights of different chemical substances vary with altitude. Of course
the proportion of relative weights at any one place is also the
proportion of the relative masses. These experiments undermine
assumptions made by most physicists (other than Narlikar etc) in dealing
with cosmological problems. However it is always a good idea to test
assumptions thoroughly.

It seems to me that if these effects found by Nanni are real then they
might also show up in measurements of isotope masses if they have been
done at different altitudes (although these are performed in a different
way so they also might not show up). The variation in altitude of the
isotope mass measuring laboratories is likely to be a lot less than the
work done by Nanni, but the accuracy is perhaps also correspondingly
greater. Does anyone know where one might obtain isotope mass
measurements listed by different laboratories?

Now, back to the subject of this post, which is "Solar neutrinos and
Gravitational differences of a chemical nature". If there are variations
in relative isotope masses with altitude or gravitational potential,
then these variations would likely be much more significant in the solar
core than they are over several kilometres vertically on the earth.

If such were the case, then the energy released in the production of
solar neutrinos, being dependant on mass differences, might well be very
different to what it is for the same reaction on earth. So Nanni's
observations may well provide a clear explanation for the solar neutrino
problem.
