We suggest that any real declines are generally most easily explained by changes in cultivated varieties between 1950 and 1999, in which there may be trade-offs between yield and nutrient content.

It seems the vegetables we are buying in the store aren’t as nutritious as they use to be. I found the study but the news article may be easier to understand.

Vegetables are losing their nutrients. Can the decline be reversed?​

So maybe EVERYONE needs vitamins now.
