There is a stats podcast from the BBC that examines some of these stats. In one of the episodes they look at the Tomatos in the UK. In short while things changed in that particular instance the previous numbers of certain nutrients were actually problematic to other factors(Sorry I'd have to listen again to remember what exactly. I believe it was either energy/coal or war related, but don't quote me on that). However, some of the nutrients in the things we eat actually come from the bacteria in the soil, so it stands to reason that both the killing of the soils as well as breeding more sugar rich fruits in general may ultimately have adverse effects to our health. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3csz3ry https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3csz3ry
