Nutritional decline of actual fruit and vegetables or the nutritional decline of food as is consumed by humans?
I don't think we are seeing the former while the later is how you use the former for the production of actual food that is consumed.
Converting fruits into smoothies makes them retain mostly only sugar, while vegetables (and fruits) under thermal treatment loose a lot of nutrients like fiber and vitamins.

- candiddevmike 4y agoThe blender chops up potassium atoms into sucrose molecules via Nutri Bullet fission
- cogman10 4y agoThat's why the blender motor gets hot when you run it. It's fissioning.
- WithinReason 4y agoI always learn so much on HN!
- creaturemachine 4y agoIf it's fissioning then why do I have to plug in my blender? There's something they're not telling us.
- cogman10 4y agoMostly for 5g signals.
- Moto7451 4y agoI think the parent might be slightly off the mark or simply is lacking detail. One concern in nutrition is separating fruit juice from fruit pulp. You probably wouldn't eat three oranges in a sitting without feeling full but you can certainly drink three oranges' juice. That's the number of fruit needed to make a cup of orange juice. If you're adding juice to a kale smoothy it's more complicated. At a certain point of extortion, refinement, and concentration that juice can become a proxy for simply adding cane sugar. If you're blending your fruit and eating the pulp then there is no change.

- tunesmith 4y agoIs that true regarding smoothies? I mean, I get it for juicers, you lose the fiber. But smoothies?
