what's more beware of the sugar content of fruit
FRUIT and vegetables are being gradually stripped of the natural goodness which makes them beneficial for health, experts have found.
An alarming drop in essential minerals means that the apples and greens of today are nowhere near as good for us as those eaten 50 years ago.
Some fruits are also becoming sweeter than they were during the last century, leading to fears about tooth decay and obesity.
Nutrients needed to help the body and immune system work properly, balance hormones and produce vital blood cells are dwindling across a wide variety of fruit and vegetables, it emerged.
Modern farming methods are blamed for the decline in minerals such as copper, iron, magnesium and potassium in fruit and vegetables.
Crops are being grown in soil stripped of its goodness. Vitamin loss could be exacerbated by fruits being picked before they are ripe.
Government showed that apples can now contain up to 15 per cent sugar, compared with 8 to 10 per cent three decades ago.
Increases in sugar content have also been recorded in pineapples, pears and bananas.
