Fruits & vegetables are becoming less nutritious.

[Agartha]

Not the type of study conclusion I like to read, but it's happening. 

"Mounting evidence shows that many of today’s whole foods aren't as packed with vitamins and nutrients as they were 70 years ago, potentially putting people's health at risk.".

Yes, sad but true! And all on top of peoples reliance on fast food as well. The last few years we've been reminded of this quite a lot, and unfortunately, even though some don't like it, some supplements are helpful. 

I'll need to come back to finish this article. Thanks Ags!

It's not about liking them, the research we have so far indicates multivitamins don't work. Having said that, yesterday I read the first study that actually indicates multivitamins work. This is good news but we have to remember that: 1) this is only 1 small study 2) the sample study was also all white 65+ of age. We need more studies with different ages and different ethnicities. 

So one one hand we have one study that says they work:

And on the other hand we have 90 studies that say multivitamins provide little benefit:  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35727272/

Yes agreed. I'm not convinced of multivitamins but certain supplements like magnesium I believe are helpful particularly due to reasons as put forward in your first article.

Some supplements are definitely helpful and also prescribed by doctors.
