The BBC more or less episode with James Wong is making me wonder if this is true (shorter summary of what James said on the podcast: https://mobile.twitter.com/Botanygeek/status/984708381507276801 https://mobile.twitter.com/Botanygeek/status/984708381507276... )
Anyway, from the paper here:
>> with estimates that vegetables have dropped magnesium levels by 80–90% in the U.S. (Figure 2) and the UK [11,12,13,32,33]
Reference 11 doesn’t support this claim.
Ref 12 doesn’t directly mention Mg but does say some nutrients have dropped between 5-40% which is NOT 80-90%
Ref 13 does mention mg specifically on page 3 but states under 20%.
…
I think i’m being fleeced by this paper.
- jcoq 5y agoLooked into this myself and you're absolutely correct. Reference 11 doesn't even come close.
