Key takeaways

The "balanced diet means no supplements" model is decades out of date
North America once grew 17,000+ apple varieties; stores now carry ~10
Across 43 crops (1950-1999), zinc fell 27-59% and calcium 16-46%
Milling white flour strips 70-90% of B vitamins; ~80% of magnesium is lost in processing
Glyphosate was patented as a mineral chelator and an antibiotic
Organ-meat intake dropped ~90% since the 1970s, cutting choline and B12
Modern water and modern life raise your nutrient demand
The fix is simple: eat the most nutrient-dense food you can, then close the gap with a smart stack
