My understanding is it's the nutrient density that went down. Like, a bigger plant from CO2 induced growth has similar levels of nutrition but spread out further across the plant.
The less nutritious yields comes from sustained monoculture buffed up by artificial fertilizers. The soils for farmlands suck right now which makes sense when you've only grown shit like wheat on the same plots for 6 decades.
Fruits (fructose) and vegetables (lectins and oxalates) are bad for you. You can get all necessary nutrients from meat and fat. You can't make a rational argument against this. Bye bye.
Fruit juices are not good for you. You basically take a shit ton of fruits that you would normally not be able to eat becasue your stomach would fill up, and cram it into a glass that you can easily drink now. You also remove all the fiber, it is basically liquid sugar. Drinking your calories is the easiest way to overconsume and become a fatass.

Carnivore is shitty for performance. You're gambling that high saturated fat and sodium is safe when it's in the context of a carnivore diet. You're gambling that you're getting an optimal level of micronutrients that are low in meat.

It doesn't matter if you are getting dyslipidemia from meat consumption which is then leading to metabolic disease.
Insulin is a big one, but after that it's the lipids. Meat is high in atherogenic lipoproteins.
You satisfy both problems by eating lots of fiber, as fiber helps mitigate blood sugar spikes, which leads to insulin spikes, which leads to insulin resistance, and it also reduces the amount of cholesterol your body is taking in.
It goes back to the stereotypical diet of meat and potatoes, both need to be consumed for optimal health. Our bodies naturally evolved to consume both to mitigate the damage of consuming only one

Not exactly. It has more to do with the onset of overall metabolic dysfunction from eating the liquid form of oxidative stress for the past 150 years. Before that diabetes almost did not exist.
Humans did not evolve to eat potatoes. Roots and tubers were always starvation prevention. Meat was always preferred. We aren't gorillas. We don't have the gut specialization to digest and ferment plant fiber into short chain fatty acids like they do. We have a gut well adapted to eating primarily meat.
The necessity of fiber is way overblown. Can you eat it and be fine? Most people can. Should you seek it out actively? Highly questionable.

Difficult to gain PUFAs from meats, which, in large quantities would be cancer inducing, but in smaller quantities are basically cleaning up irregularities in you.
Also, imagine using minerals (salt) and salads (pepper, garlic) just to make meat palatable, literal pleb
There's nothing wrong with fruit (for most people) but you're right. Fruit and honey (fructose) are ancestrally appropriate foods that we have always eaten as long as they existed, however meat is king.

Wrong. A meme is a viral joke. Like pingas. No one person can make a meme. It takes a community.
You're some litle homosexual that started hearing normie using it wrong and now you think that's the actual definition when really what you're describing is just A FRICKING IMAGE. Not every image in existence is a meme. "Look a picture of a horse. If I write any random word over it it's now a meme. Lol look at this viral meme I made"
Allow me to tell you zoomers and normies how the word "meme" went from meaning, a specific kind of image, to any image.
First of all the image, or joke, has to be viral. As such it will probably be used in a variety of branching off ways. Like "guile's theme goes with everything" was a meme, being used in a variety of situations.
Courage wolf and foul bachelor frog were the first low effort "memes." They were viral and had many variations. But this format spiraled out of controlled and then you had "socially awkward penguin" and other knock offs. Eventually so many low effort, forced memes were made that normies started thinking "any image that has words on it, is a meme"
Now you have homosexuals that think any image in the world, viral or not, with words on it or not, is a meme, as long as it's intended to be humorous. It could be an image a 5 year old made and nobody could no about it except his grandma, and he would homosexualishly says "look granny, I made a meme." No it's not. It's not a viral concept being shared around in a community like long cat, or pedobear. It's just a random image you made in your basement and nobody knows about it. It's not a meme.
I personally agree to an extent. The issue is that language is evolving rapidly and we didn't bother to create new words for these new phenomenon we're experiencing day in and day out. "Meme" has evolved to mean any image created to amuse or spread an idea within a designated community, regardless of it's success.
Except meme is from The Selfish Gene which was published in, like, the 70s.
Not that I care that it was coopted by internet culture. The Selfish Gene, except for the stuff that's specific to the premise of the book, is a lot of horseshit. The invention of the "meme" and its popularisation is a normie mistake, the real meat of that book is looking at evolution from the perspective of the gene, rather than the organism that carries it.
It's true just not for reasons people tout. Increasing CO2 levels promotes very fast growth for plants. So comparing 1 1950s tomato to 1 currentyear tomato, I'd wager current year tomato has more nutrients, but only because it's going to be much bigger.
A comparison of 100g 1950s tomato to 100g currentyear tomato would obviously show the reverse. In any case, in any year, unless you lived next to the sea and ate lots of seafood, you'd want supplements for potassium, magnesium, iodine and so on... Cooking already damages most vitamins so you'd want supplements for those too.
There's this misconception that people were healthier in the early 20th century but that's not really true. Maybe, pre-industrial revolution, where the average peasant (outside of shit holes like medieval france or russia), would eat 4000+ calories a day due to manual labor they could get enough food in to cover nutrients. But you're average 1950s 9-5 pencil pusher got 50% of his calories from the flavorings in the cigarettes they smoked and rightly died on heart attacks in their 50s.
this peasant eating 4000 kilos myth is absurd. read ferdinand braudel. famines were a regular occurance all throughout europe through until the 19th century. peasants had to sell their wheat to market and survive off of inferior grains and meats. look at contemporary paintings of peasants, like from frans hals or brughel; they're toothless and ruddy looking people, not anywhere near the picture of health.
This isn't true. Nitrate containing fertilizers that dont have a corresponding increase in boron or calcium result in a large crop but it's larger cause its more water weight
Imo, it's true that with gmos, artificial fertilizers, and overall the process of mass producing produce the overall nutritional quality is greatly lowered compared to the produce of a few generations back. When it comes to pills, the source is the most important part imo. If you buy whole food extract pills with enzymes or other plant compounds for improved digestibility, your probably getting nutrients from it. If you buy the cheapest gas station pills you are wasting your money and fricking up your health most likely.
just eat a bunch of different fruit and veg. get your vitamin D and B12 levels checked anually and supplement if necessary. pretty much everyone over the age of is vitamin D deficient.
Wow decline of like 20% that means you need to eat like a fraction of a vegetable more to get the same effect that our grandparents did??? I'm ordering the next heckin multi asap!!!
>Grow the same plant on the same soil for decades >Literally using up minerals in soil, have to supplement it with fertilizers > Yea bro for some ungodly reason the nutrition levels have been dropping in fruits and stuff, no idea why
Sure, homosexual. You can't exacly crop rotate the fruit trees, so they inevitably will create less and less of a value from the gradually depleted soil they have.
This is basic agriculture knowledge. Of course you need supplements if you live in an area that's poor in their natural form.
Vit D for those who live north, and those that have winters
Vit A for countries with longer nights
Vit B to city dwellers
Zinc for all males
Deez nuts for females ±7 years my age
Decades of GMO, fertilizers and other shit can't have any other result than this. We are basically eating something that resembles salad, tomato or potato.
Nutrition levels in food are definitely even lower nowadays.
If the drops are consistently averaging around 20-30% then you would just need to eat 1.25-1.43 oranges. That 8 times figure is completely on its own compared to the entire paragraph before it.
none of those vitamins and minerals matters because there's food that's so high in them that with one serving you get a susbstantial amount of your daily value or you meet it entirely.
2 bites of a carrot will get you 100% dv of vit A, drinking some milk and eating some cheese will get you your calcium, eating a burger will get you your iron, eating some potatoes or bananas will cover potassium. Drinking 8 oz of orange juice or eating 1 orange will give you 100-200% dv of vit C.
Oranges are also very low in vit A, why the frick would you be eating an orange for vit A when you literally can take 2 bites of a carrot.
>Need to eat 8 bananas or 5 potatoes with skin to get the minimum of 2g potassium needed
Bad meme. Just use a salt substitute, they usually have the required ratio of sodium to potassium of 4:7 as well.
you do realize that pretty much everything has potassium in it. If you eat a diet of whole foods, you are going to easily meet your potassium requirements each day. This means eating a banana or a serving of potatoes at least once.
Salt substitutes are not good for people not living in asia as you are removing the majority of iodine you get from your diet if you use a salt substitute.
Vitamin A alone can be very toxic to the body in high doses. Your body takes as much beta carotene as it needs to create vitamin A. It is quite clear how I explained this how beta carotene is far superior to vitamin A since there is almost no way for you to get a toxic amount of vitamin A from beta carotene as your body will just discard what it doesn't need. Some of the best supplements work in this way in that they do not provide the compound specifically, but they provide the building blocks for it.
>your daily value
Is intentionally incredibly low in order to hide how malnutritioned everyone is. The bare minimum needed not to be crippingly ill is far different from the amount for optimal health.
I'm not sure it's quite that extreme, but, yes, nutritional value in fresh produce has been going down these past 50 years.
I'm fairly certain OP's epic maymay is cherry picking a timeframe to make the problem seem more extreme than it is; choosing to start from the 70s is odd, since this has been known about since the 1950s.
Reasons for this are not quite known, but it's thought to mostly be a combination of poor land management (mass production of cereal crops all year round instead of rotating a variety of crops to enrich the soil) and the fact that we started to allow produce to ripen on shelves.
Another reason is that fertilizers are made to contain the micronutrients the specific plant needs to grow, not the ones we as consumers want it to absorb. People can't judge vitamin and mineral content in the store, so consumer choice can't fix this.
Based
No one seems to understand this very simple concept that has been scientifically proven.
Everyone was always told to eat yer veggies so they MUST be healthy. Surely there's no other reason - like actually eating something and getting calories and not being hungry.
My favorite thing is how vegetable defenders love to talk about all these studies that claim health benefits of fruits and vegetables. Guess what? The benefit is the lardass study participant stopped eating goyslop and instead ate a real piece of food.
>3 studies. No links provided to said studies.
You are moronic. You can find low quality, poorly sourced studies to support literally any opinion you want. Try looking up whether where are neurological differences between men and women, or whether or not eggs are healthy, you'll find dozens of studies with opposing, contradictory results.

I dont know why a lot of you guys are absolutely wrong but it goes like this. Your average vegetable that you get in the store is pumped full with GMO's and such. The vegetables have been grown in order to have a higher yield ripen faster and be resistant to diseases. The problem with this is that the fruit or vegetable no longer has the required amount of energy to create and stock up on the nutrients that are normally found in said vegetables. A really good book about this is the Dorito affect and I recommend everyone hear reads it
It's just because conventional produce has been genetically engineered to be artificially large and visually appealing to attract consumers in a grocery store setting, eat organic and this won't be an issue

This is false. Even non food crop plants exhibit this same behavior.

>all the nutrients you need are in meat
Liver King claims another victim
Can you debunk the all the nutrients you need are in meat? no?
Difficult to gain PUFAs from meats, which, in large quantities would be cancer inducing, but in smaller quantities are basically cleaning up irregularities in you.
Also, imagine using minerals (salt) and salads (pepper, garlic) just to make meat palatable, literal pleb
Can you prove it? No?
There's nothing wrong with fruit (for most people) but you're right. Fruit and honey (fructose) are ancestrally appropriate foods that we have always eaten as long as they existed, however meat is king.
Only bad for you if you have a shit digestion system
The carnivore diet advocates are either moronic or schizophrenic. They have schizo epistemic standards, basically reject the hierarchy of evidence and go with "well our ancestors did X, so X is good for us", or they are schizos who cherry pick unrelated mechanistic data instead of looking at the health outcome studies regarding eating lots of vegetables.
fructose and glucose are essential for healthy thyroid function, Frank Tufano and the sisters from the channel Strong Sistas are 2 relevant examples of peopel who quit the carnivore diet for something more balanced. find Jesus and research about Ray Peat
Why would you consume oranges for vitamin a? Eat a carrot Lmao.
>Eat a carrot Lmao
I got a carrot you can eat you little homo.
carrots dont contain retinol, bub
my ipad has a retinol screen tradcucks btfo technology rules
exactly
unless the nutrition facts are lying and they're using ancient numbers it's easy to get your vitamins from food
There is no retinol in carrots. Enjoy the deficiency.
I've been on IST since 2009 so whenever I see someone misuse the word "meme," which is basically every time it's used these days, I rage.
It's literally a picture with text (which is what a meme is) you fricking boomer. Fr people are getting dumber and dumber on this site.
Wrong. A meme is a viral joke. Like pingas. No one person can make a meme. It takes a community.
You're some litle homosexual that started hearing normie using it wrong and now you think that's the actual definition when really what you're describing is just A FRICKING IMAGE. Not every image in existence is a meme. "Look a picture of a horse. If I write any random word over it it's now a meme. Lol look at this viral meme I made"
Sure grandpa. Ong, people these days haha
Allow me to tell you zoomers and normies how the word "meme" went from meaning, a specific kind of image, to any image.
First of all the image, or joke, has to be viral. As such it will probably be used in a variety of branching off ways. Like "guile's theme goes with everything" was a meme, being used in a variety of situations.
Courage wolf and foul bachelor frog were the first low effort "memes." They were viral and had many variations. But this format spiraled out of controlled and then you had "socially awkward penguin" and other knock offs. Eventually so many low effort, forced memes were made that normies started thinking "any image that has words on it, is a meme"
Now you have homosexuals that think any image in the world, viral or not, with words on it or not, is a meme, as long as it's intended to be humorous. It could be an image a 5 year old made and nobody could no about it except his grandma, and he would homosexualishly says "look granny, I made a meme." No it's not. It's not a viral concept being shared around in a community like long cat, or pedobear. It's just a random image you made in your basement and nobody knows about it. It's not a meme.
>meme
>image
You, sir, are and idiot 🙂
Imagine thinking anyone on IST will read this.
fricking based and true words pilled
homosexuals will hate you for telling the truth
Decent bait
Pray tell oh wise scholar, what word you would use to describe funny images with text shared in a digital format?
Based
>they hated him for telling the truth
I kneel
I personally agree to an extent. The issue is that language is evolving rapidly and we didn't bother to create new words for these new phenomenon we're experiencing day in and day out. "Meme" has evolved to mean any image created to amuse or spread an idea within a designated community, regardless of it's success.
Boomer reaction images lover
Baste
Except meme is from The Selfish Gene which was published in, like, the 70s.
Not that I care that it was coopted by internet culture. The Selfish Gene, except for the stuff that's specific to the premise of the book, is a lot of horseshit. The invention of the "meme" and its popularisation is a normie mistake, the real meat of that book is looking at evolution from the perspective of the gene, rather than the organism that carries it.
people have been having this conversation over and over again for almost 2 decades at this point
>I've been on IST since 2009
newbie.
No frickhead you're wrong. A meme is an idea so it is being used correctly. Also, I've been here longer than you.
plants dont have vitamin a. fricking moronic. you get it from liver
imagine being this ignorant
human body woefully inefficient at synthesizing beta carotene into retinoids. you're a FRICKING moron
it's a copy past from https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/soil-depletion-and-nutrition-loss/
It's true just not for reasons people tout. Increasing CO2 levels promotes very fast growth for plants. So comparing 1 1950s tomato to 1 currentyear tomato, I'd wager current year tomato has more nutrients, but only because it's going to be much bigger.
A comparison of 100g 1950s tomato to 100g currentyear tomato would obviously show the reverse. In any case, in any year, unless you lived next to the sea and ate lots of seafood, you'd want supplements for potassium, magnesium, iodine and so on... Cooking already damages most vitamins so you'd want supplements for those too.
There's this misconception that people were healthier in the early 20th century but that's not really true. Maybe, pre-industrial revolution, where the average peasant (outside of shit holes like medieval france or russia), would eat 4000+ calories a day due to manual labor they could get enough food in to cover nutrients. But you're average 1950s 9-5 pencil pusher got 50% of his calories from the flavorings in the cigarettes they smoked and rightly died on heart attacks in their 50s.
>I'd wager
>would obviously show
>but that's not really true
That's a lot of speculation there champ.
Source - he pulled it outa his ass
this peasant eating 4000 kilos myth is absurd. read ferdinand braudel. famines were a regular occurance all throughout europe through until the 19th century. peasants had to sell their wheat to market and survive off of inferior grains and meats. look at contemporary paintings of peasants, like from frans hals or brughel; they're toothless and ruddy looking people, not anywhere near the picture of health.
In which work does Braudel say this? It would be heterodox in the field of agrarian history.

What was the intention behind posting this image?
This isn't true. Nitrate containing fertilizers that dont have a corresponding increase in boron or calcium result in a large crop but it's larger cause its more water weight
i take GNC Mega Man Sport once a week. more than that *might* be bad for the liver so i don't want to overdo it
larp, still won't buy your synthetic pills
Imo, it's true that with gmos, artificial fertilizers, and overall the process of mass producing produce the overall nutritional quality is greatly lowered compared to the produce of a few generations back. When it comes to pills, the source is the most important part imo. If you buy whole food extract pills with enzymes or other plant compounds for improved digestibility, your probably getting nutrients from it. If you buy the cheapest gas station pills you are wasting your money and fricking up your health most likely.
Yes. Modern fruits & vegetables have been bred to grow bigger, while maintaining micronutrient content per unit mass was not a priority. Obviously.
>founded by supplement companies

just eat a bunch of different fruit and veg. get your vitamin D and B12 levels checked anually and supplement if necessary. pretty much everyone over the age of is vitamin D deficient.

oh yeah, also iron studies.

Wow decline of like 20% that means you need to eat like a fraction of a vegetable more to get the same effect that our grandparents did??? I'm ordering the next heckin multi asap!!!

Same with meat my friend, they pump and feed the cattle with all kind of shady stuff.
Home grown food is the only answer.
>Grow the same plant on the same soil for decades
>Literally using up minerals in soil, have to supplement it with fertilizers
> Yea bro for some ungodly reason the nutrition levels have been dropping in fruits and stuff, no idea why
Sure, homosexual. You can't exacly crop rotate the fruit trees, so they inevitably will create less and less of a value from the gradually depleted soil they have.
This is basic agriculture knowledge. Of course you need supplements if you live in an area that's poor in their natural form.
Vit D for those who live north, and those that have winters
Vit A for countries with longer nights
Vit B to city dwellers
Zinc for all males
Deez nuts for females ±7 years my age
Decades of GMO, fertilizers and other shit can't have any other result than this. We are basically eating something that resembles salad, tomato or potato.
Nutrition levels in food are definitely even lower nowadays.
If the drops are consistently averaging around 20-30% then you would just need to eat 1.25-1.43 oranges. That 8 times figure is completely on its own compared to the entire paragraph before it.
none of those vitamins and minerals matters because there's food that's so high in them that with one serving you get a susbstantial amount of your daily value or you meet it entirely.
2 bites of a carrot will get you 100% dv of vit A, drinking some milk and eating some cheese will get you your calcium, eating a burger will get you your iron, eating some potatoes or bananas will cover potassium. Drinking 8 oz of orange juice or eating 1 orange will give you 100-200% dv of vit C.
Oranges are also very low in vit A, why the frick would you be eating an orange for vit A when you literally can take 2 bites of a carrot.
>Need to eat 8 bananas or 5 potatoes with skin to get the minimum of 2g potassium needed
Bad meme. Just use a salt substitute, they usually have the required ratio of sodium to potassium of 4:7 as well.
Also carrots have 0 vit A. Just b-carotene.
you do realize that pretty much everything has potassium in it. If you eat a diet of whole foods, you are going to easily meet your potassium requirements each day. This means eating a banana or a serving of potatoes at least once.
Salt substitutes are not good for people not living in asia as you are removing the majority of iodine you get from your diet if you use a salt substitute.
Vitamin A alone can be very toxic to the body in high doses. Your body takes as much beta carotene as it needs to create vitamin A. It is quite clear how I explained this how beta carotene is far superior to vitamin A since there is almost no way for you to get a toxic amount of vitamin A from beta carotene as your body will just discard what it doesn't need. Some of the best supplements work in this way in that they do not provide the compound specifically, but they provide the building blocks for it.
>your daily value
Is intentionally incredibly low in order to hide how malnutritioned everyone is. The bare minimum needed not to be crippingly ill is far different from the amount for optimal health.
I'm not sure it's quite that extreme, but, yes, nutritional value in fresh produce has been going down these past 50 years.
I'm fairly certain OP's epic maymay is cherry picking a timeframe to make the problem seem more extreme than it is; choosing to start from the 70s is odd, since this has been known about since the 1950s.
Reasons for this are not quite known, but it's thought to mostly be a combination of poor land management (mass production of cereal crops all year round instead of rotating a variety of crops to enrich the soil) and the fact that we started to allow produce to ripen on shelves.
Another reason is that fertilizers are made to contain the micronutrients the specific plant needs to grow, not the ones we as consumers want it to absorb. People can't judge vitamin and mineral content in the store, so consumer choice can't fix this.
Meat still has every nutrient in high amounts. No plant has vitamin a, they only have beta caretine
Supplements are fake versions of the nutrients which your body can scarcely absorb

No one seems to understand this very simple concept that has been scientifically proven.
Everyone was always told to eat yer veggies so they MUST be healthy. Surely there's no other reason - like actually eating something and getting calories and not being hungry.
My favorite thing is how vegetable defenders love to talk about all these studies that claim health benefits of fruits and vegetables. Guess what? The benefit is the lardass study participant stopped eating goyslop and instead ate a real piece of food.
i can confirm that this is a meme
science says that we evolved to eat hydrogenated deodorized oils and corn syrup, incels will disagree though
>thinking vegetables are the only way to get nutrients
you've internalised too many eat-healthy campaigns from when you were 5
>3 studies. No links provided to said studies.
You are moronic. You can find low quality, poorly sourced studies to support literally any opinion you want. Try looking up whether where are neurological differences between men and women, or whether or not eggs are healthy, you'll find dozens of studies with opposing, contradictory results.
The Kushi institute closed 5 years ago and you didn't cite the study.
Wow, I should base my life around this image macro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Btw, if you want more great tips plz subscribe to my patreon and youtube channel. I'm not a grifter.
Huh
its a good thing all those vitamins are found much more abundantly in meat.
yes, even vitamin C you moron

Nobody in the first world dies from the lack of nutrients. If anything people are overfed.
decent bait 7.5/10
>decent bait 7.5/10
I’m not baiting. It’s a natural human concern to be malnourished because for all of human existence it was a major concern. Only in the last 50 years has the opposite problem started to occur, but our natural human psychology is geared toward being concerned with the lack of something
I think the real question is why are so many grown men nowadays absolutely obsessed with fad diets and shit? dieting obsessively has always generally been a female thing. men are now hyper obsessed with spending hours arguing over what diet is best, like keto of vegan. what makes particular men so obsessed? I am assuming they become obsessed because they are correcting a problem, whether it’s weight, feeling bad, etc? are men developing intolerances to food? becoming genetically weaker for some reason? what’s going on
>fad diets
>literally just wanting to eat naturally occurring foods that havent been bastardized by the industrial revolution
I dont know why a lot of you guys are absolutely wrong but it goes like this. Your average vegetable that you get in the store is pumped full with GMO's and such. The vegetables have been grown in order to have a higher yield ripen faster and be resistant to diseases. The problem with this is that the fruit or vegetable no longer has the required amount of energy to create and stock up on the nutrients that are normally found in said vegetables. A really good book about this is the Dorito affect and I recommend everyone hear reads it
>eating oranges for vitamine A
>eating vegatables for calcium
you wot m8
It's just because conventional produce has been genetically engineered to be artificially large and visually appealing to attract consumers in a grocery store setting, eat organic and this won't be an issue
