- graphe 3y agoNobody eats carrots for sodium and copper. That's like saying you only use your computer for the floppy disk.
- mharig 3y agoAnd what would you have done in say 1993 with a computer without floppy disk?
- jacknews 3y agoThat's ludicrous. The "nutritional content" is the part of the food that your body can make use of. Mostly carbs, proteins, etc. The trace minerals are essential, but hardly central. Even if the definition of 'nutrition' is just those trace minerals (because somehow all the carbs, proteins, and everything else are 'free'), the article grossly exaggerates. And given the whole shtick of this blog is 'using science to make sense of society', it's a poor show.
- TheCoelacanth 3y agoCarbs and proteins are macronutrients. Minerals are micronutrients. Both are central parts of nutrition.
- ponector 3y agoIf there are less minerals than there are more substitutes. Which are also nutrition content with some value. Therefore we can say that nutrition value increased as well!
