If you're eating an apple a day to keep the doctor away. Maybe you should consider doubling it to 2 apples a day. Why? Because according to some dude at the University of Texas at Austin, fruits and vegetables are not as rich in vitamin as they used to be. Up to a 30% decrease in protein, calcium, vitamin C, phosphorus, iron and riboflavin from before. This is all due to farmers using new techniques to increase their output, which results in fruits and vegetables spending less time absorbing nutrients from the soil and less time soaking up the sun. So, if you normally save some space for fruit during dinner, you might want to save some extra space.
