How are we all still alive? Whats the physiological effects of not having veggies in the diet?
Asking as a new parent who’s toddler used to eat everything, but now understands what “greens” are and actively denies any attempt to feed him veggies, even disguised. I swear his tongue has an alarm the instant any hidden veggie enters his mouth.
I also have a coworker who goes out of their way to not eat veggies. Not the heathiest, but he functions as well as I can see.
In: Biology
Most nutrients from vegetables and fruits are B and C (aka water soluble) vitamins. At least in the USA, the government fortifies LOTs of other food products with those to prevent dietary deficiencies (as surplus can just be eliminated via the urine so it takes much more to achieve toxicity).
