Abstract
The UK's top ten fruit and vegetables have been announced with carrots and bananas taking top spot respectively.
"Supplements can never be a substitute for a healthy diet but we know that compared to the 1930s, fruit and vegetables can be depleted in minerals by an average of 20%, and that other foods like dairy have lost minerals such as iron in milk by over 60%. So with the best will in the world it is difficult today to get everything we need from food alone."
