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.
