In 2002, The American Medical Association told their doctors to recommend to their patients the use of nutritional supplements. This was because there was a decrease in the micronutrients in our food supply. In 1951, a woman needed to eat 2 peaches to get the RDA of Vitamin A and Folic Acid. Today, the same woman needs to eat 53 peaches to get the same amount of Vitamin A and Folic Acid. Corporate farming has reduced the amount of micronutrients in their produce by harvesting the crops before the nmicroutrients have been added due to ripening. The produce is picked before they are ripe and in the last 72 hours of ripening, the micronutients are added to the produce. The levels of these glyconutrients is significantly lower than they were 50 years ago.
