A similar study of British nutrient data
from 1930 to 1980, published in the British Food Journal, found that in 20
vegetables the average calcium content had declined 19 percent;
iron 22 percent; and potassium 14 percent.
The Organic Consumers Association cites several other studies with similar findings: A Kushi Institute analysis of nutrient data
from 1975 to 1997 found that average calcium levels in 12 fresh
vegetables dropped 27 percent;
iron levels 37 percent; vitamin A levels 21 percent, and vitamin C levels 30 percent.
They studied U.S. Department of Agriculture nutritional data
from both 1950 and 1999 for 43 different
vegetables and fruits, finding «reliable declines» in the amount of protein, calcium, phosphorus,
iron, riboflavin (vitamin B2) and vitamin C over the past half century.

iron.
They often face anaemia and blood problems
from not eating
iron due to the lack of animal foods in their diet, so a product which they could use to replace their blood with
vegetable juice would have serious appeal.
Nonheme
iron absorption is inhibited by phytic acid found in everything
from grains to legumes to leafy greens to nuts; polyphenols, such as tannic and chlorogenic acids, found in tea, coffee, red wines, and a variety of cereals,
vegetables, and spices; soy protein (apparently independent of the phytic acid in soy); and eggs.
