This is not controversial
Maybe it should be - because it certainly is disputed by scientists. Not NY Times-bestselling "scientists", but certainly peer-reviewed scientists.
The intuitive connection between the claim that grocery market food has been selected for "taste and appearance" and the claim that this has led to "diminishing nutrition" is most certainly controversial.
- noondip 11y agoCan you cite any peer-reviewed publications disputing the decline of nutrients found in food? I found this evidence to the contrary, for example: Historical food composition data and the growing of archived seeds suggest that the average content of some nutrients in many foods has decreased over the last century. Although the changes are small in comparison with other factors affecting nutritional status, we might benefit if agriculture were to place greater focus on nutrient content, rather than just yield. http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=8837520&fileId=S1446545000000841 http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPag...
