To make matters worse, our produce today is modified/hybridized for sweetness. I am willing to bet that the sweetcorn that we ate as kids was 1/2 as sweet as the corn they sell today. The stuff we get now makes my teeth hurt.
Same goes for apples, peppers etc etc. Nutritional value of these foods has gone down with soil nutrient depletion and the sugar content has gone up.
Trying to be "healthy" gets more and more difficult all the time!
