Although eating the recommended five portions of fruit and veg a day is good for you, eating ten portions is even better, according to researchers from Imperial College London.

Fruit and veg

Eating 800 grams of fruit and vegetables daily (one portion = 80 grams) is of major benefit in reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke and cancer and could prevent as many as 7.8 million premature deaths worldwide every year.

"We wanted to investigate how much fruit and vegetables you need to eat to gain the maximum protection against disease, and premature death,” explains lead author of the research Dagfinn Aune.

Science has come along way in the last 50 years. Dietary science not so much... Totally corrupted by government and those who lobby it. The precursor to modern "climate science"...

Government dietary guidelines have likely killed more people in this country than anything its done over the years and that's saying something...

If your ancestors lived long, productive lives, eat what they ate, it's in your genetics. If not, look at changing the program. You will be your own lab rat.

10 portions? Do they expect us to eat 5 or 6 meals a day?

Good Grief... you eat that much fruit and veggies and you'll never get a solid movement.
