RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL, November 10, 2003: Consuming at least 400 grams
of fruit and vegetables each day will ward off heart disease, cancer,
Type 2 diabetes and obesity. This statement appeared recently in a
published report presented by the World Health Organization and the
Food and Agriculture Organization's Food and Nutrition Division. World
Health Organization Director Pekka Ruska reinterates, "There is strong
and growing evidence that sufficient consumption of fruits and
vegetables helps prevent many diseases and promotes good health, but
large parts of the world's population consume too little of these." The
article says that both United Nation Agencies, the WHO and the FAO,
emphasize that inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables is
estimated to cause some 2.7 million deaths worldwide each year.
