My uneducated conclusion after seeing all these "super foods" arise and then later be determined to actually be unhealthy is that super foods are only super because they're growing naturally in nutrient-rich/healthy environments. Once people start minmaxing their production for profit/quantity - growing them in over-farmed soil and processing all the remaining nutrients out of them - they're just as unhealthy as the rest of the options.
- BizarroLand 4y agoI would add that a "superfood" may have provided some nutritional substance that a person was lacking and had a positive effect, but no everyone is lacking the same things and once you have built up an appropriate reserve there should usually be no further beneficial effect to consuming more of the superfood. "Superfoods" are simply classified by being nutritionally dense foods. If you have the nutrition, you won't get any benefit from consuming them.
