Bigger is not better

Research by a biochemist at UT-Austin shows that the nutritious value of fruits & vegetables has decreased over the last few decades. Based on data from the US Dep’t of Agriculture, the study looked at the levels of 13 nutrients in fruits and vegetables and found that the values of 6 of them (protein, calcium, vitamin C, phosphorus, iron, and riboflavin) had decreased by up to 38 percent.
