Fruits and Vegetables 50% Less Nutritious Than in the 1960s
New reporting in the UK points to declining soil quality as the reason fruits and vegetables today may contain up to 50% fewer nutrients than produce grown in the 1960s. The claim has drawn wide attention, with readers debating the science behind nutrient decline, the role of intensive farming, and what it means for diets and public health.
Why now: Concerns about modern farming practices and soil degradation make the claim that staple foods are losing nutritional value both alarming and highly shareable.
