Fruit and veg could be far less nutritious than they were 60 years ago, researchers warn ๐๐ฅ Wheat, apples, carrots and peas are among the foods that may have lost between 20 and 50 per cent of certain key nutrients since the 1960s, according to a new study by researchers at Deep Science Ventures. Declining soil quality is thought to be a factor, with researchers suggesting people may need to eat twice as much fruit and veg to get the same levels of minerals such as potassium, magnesium and copper. Experts also warn that the combination of nutrient-poor crops and reduced food intake among people taking weight-loss jabs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro could leave around five million working-age adults in the UK at risk of falling below safe levels of essential vitamins and minerals ๐ #healthyeating #uknews #health
