New study highlights decreasing nutrient value of certain fruits and vegetables
Need for multivitamin and mineral complex supplements increases.
03/02/06 Taking a multivitamin and mineral complex may be more important than ever. According to Institute of Nutrition President Jules G. Bitbol, recent studies of more than a dozen fruits and vegetables have shown that there has been a decrease in the nutrient value of many foods, which in some cases is drastic. For instance, the Vitamin A content in apples has dropped from 90 mg to 53mg. Vitamin C in sweet peppers has decreased from 128mg to 89mg.
The USDA recommends 3 to 5 servings of vegetables and 2 to 4 servings of fruit per day to maintain good health. But very few people are able to sustain that kind of healthy diet every day. And, with the decreasing nutrient value of many fruits and vegetables, people aren't getting all the vitamins and minerals they need.
The Institute of Nutrition, www.ionnet.com, has been devoted to research and the production of nutritional supplements and vitamins of the best quality, at the best price. The quality and purity of their products is a top priority. There are no unnecessary additives without nutritional value, no "fillers", or any animal by-products.
The President of The Institute of Nutrition, Jules-Gilles Bitbol, puts as much passion in expanding and improving the Institute of Nutrition on the Internet as he does to his activities with OMECA, a non-governmental Organization of Worldwide Experts, Arbitrators and Consultants. OMECA is a non-profit organization affiliated with The United Nations. Mr. Bitbol is Vice-President and the representative in the U.S.A. for OMECA.
