The two big reasons, let's talk about that. The first is ultra-processed foods. You know, they dominate modern diets. You know, they're nutritionally hollow. The studies show that the ultra-processed food consumption goes up, the intake of nearly every vitamin and mineral goes down as we go up on the processed foods. So the vitamin A, E, C, vitamin Bs, zinc, magnesium, potassium, they all are seen to be much less in our system. Second is when people who think they eat well and often don't. When I ask patients about their diet and they think they're pretty healthy, But the pretty healthy in the modern America often still leaves significant nutritional gaps. So the problem isn't what ultra-processed foods contain, it's what they displace.
