What the article fails to explain is the fact that in the last 30 years or so the nutritional value
has declined by about 40%. so the old saying of ' an apple a day keeps the doctor away'
although true should now say ' 2-3 apples a day keep the doctor away'.
I have noticed that food writers never bother to mention this fact about all of our fruits and vegetables.
