Summary

This news bodes well for the future of functional foods, organic produce, various nutritional supplements and of course sports supplements. Weight loss is not currently a huge concern for Millennials, but as soon as they hit 30, it will no doubt become a higher priority (it's relatively easy to be thin when you're 18, remember?).

Participants in the study cited foods' vitamin content as one of their top five priorities: freshness was at the very top of the list, in fact. Part of the upshot from all this is that universities are starting to deliver organic, healthful food choices to students.

Another important study finding is that consumer interest in healthy foods continues to rise. Apparently, people are increasingly interested in the health effects of what they're putting into their bodies. That's outstanding news, since awareness is the first step towards achieving optimum health through food choice and nutrition.
