Why Fruits Have Lost Their Vitamins | ENDEVR Documentary Watch 'Secrets of our Food - The Dirty Tomato Truth' here: Sixty years of producing standardized fruits and vegetables and creating industrial hybrids have had a dramatic impact on their nutritional content. In the past 50 years, vegetables have lost 27% of their vitamin C and nearly half of their iron. Take the tomato. Through multiple hybridizations, scientists are constantly producing redder, smoother, firmer fruit. But in the process, it has lost a quarter of its calcium and more than half of its vitamins. The seeds that produce the fruits and vegetables we consume are now the property of a handful of multinationals, like Bayer, and Dow-Dupont, who own them. These multinationals have their seeds produced predominantly in India, where workers are paid just a handful of rupees while the company has a turnover of more than 2 billion euros. A globalized business where the seed sells for more than gold. According to FAO, worldwide, 75% of the cultivated varieties have disappeared in the past 100 years. Loss of nutrients, and privatization of life, reveal the industrialists’ great monopoly over our fruits and vegetables. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe to ENDEVR for free: Facebook: Instagram: ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #FreeDocumentary #ENDEVR #nutrition ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ENDEVR explains the world we live in through high-class documentaries, special investigations, explainer videos, and animations.
