Fruit and veg: For a longer life eat 10-a-day

Eating loads of fruit and vegetables - 10 portions a day - may give us longer lives, say researchers.

The study, by Imperial College London, calculated such eating habits could prevent 7.8 million premature deaths each year.

Alternatively, eat red meat and drink booze if you want to live better.

I suppose the study didn't check whether all that sugar and tooth decay damaged your health then...

Eating fruit and veg all day doesn't make you live longer, it just feels longer.

How could anyone possibly know? I haven't finished trying them out yet.

Love these reports - mayhelp you live longer, could prevent deaths. Not that sure of their findings are they.

I like that it will reduce cancer by 23% or whatever. Carry on smoking but eat more veg, awesome!

More of the bleedy obvious? Eat the typical stty UK diet, and you'll look like a typical Brit, pasty skin, fat, poor shape. Eat healthier and you'll be healthy.

People get paid small fortunes to come up with such studies and research! and there you go with your common sense.

This is nothing new, a lot of countries advise eating 10 or more pieces of fruit and veg a day, I believe Canada advises 15. The government here knows how difficult that message would be to sell so sticks to the 5 a day advice which most people struggle to manage anyway.

Of course not, but they have to come up with some bullst once in a while to justify their existence and wages.

I just spotted this thread straight after eating a rare tenderloin with fries supported by a tarty Indian red wine and a LARGE Indian brandy.

I can't even name 10 fruits or vegetables.

[Kawasicki]

...and soon they will say...fruit in large quantities is unhealthy due to sugar content...

Are these the same scientists that pushed the obesity inducing low fat diet scam?

It's no surprise that the food that's best for us is the food we evolved to eat. Perhaps not what people want to hear though.
