Vegetables are less and less nutritious

This is the conclusion of American scientists after surveying the data at the Ministry of Agriculture. According to biochemist Donald Davis, compared to the past few decades, vegetables now have a 38% lower rate of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and vitamin B2.

The cause of this phenomenon, as the scientists explain, is due to the application of some new technologies and techniques to increase crop productivity.

When stimulated to grow faster, vegetables and fruits will not have enough time to form many nutrients. This is the inevitable rule of nature. "When people in the United States are creating more and more varieties of vegetables than before, at the same time their vitamins and minerals are less," David said.

Despite the disappointment of this result, scientists still recommend that we eat lots of vegetables and fruits. Although the amount of minerals in today's fruits and vegetables has decreased, their role in life is irreplaceable.
