May I ask where you found this data? I’ll need to cite the source of the study. Thank you

Sounds made up.

Also on account of fertilizers which are mainly petroleum based. Now days European countries have way better quality food – No GMO – and they taste unbelievably GOOD 😊 compared to American fruits and vegetables 🙁

Are we eating more all the time trying to find both ? I am in my 80’s and know what fruit & vegetables should taste like and miss that taste. At one time we grew a large garden but no longer. Most younger people have no idea what food should taste like. What a loss.
