Fruit and vegetable consumption is associated with reduced all-cause and cardiovascular mortality
Commentary on: Wang X, Ouyang Y, Liu J, et al.. Fruit and vegetable consumption and mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer: systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies. BMJ 2014;349:g4490 Context Dietary guidelines from around the world recommend the daily consumption of a variety of fruits and vegetables.

Fruit chemical may prevent organ damage
Conclusion This exciting set of experiments has identified the metabolic driver of tissue injury seen when blood supply is returned after a period of ischaemia. The researchers have also shown this process can be limited by using an injection of dimethyl malonate in mice and rats. It is likely the same increased metabolic processes occur in humans, so there are wide implications for the future, including the potential use of dimethyl malonate injections to prevent tissue damage during surgery. At present it is unclear how this could be used practically during a heart attack or stroke, and this will be one of many issues...

Fruits And Vegetables May Not Prevent Cancer
BOSTON (CBS) – Who hasn’t heard that eating a lot of fruits and vegetables can help you fend off cancer? Dr. Walter Willett, a leading expert on nutrition and health at the Harvard School of Public Health, says your diet may play less of a role in cancer prevention as originally thought. “As better data have come along,” he says, “the benefits for cancer don’t look nearly as impressive.” And fat doesn’t appear to be as bad as once thought for promoting cancer either. “There had been a strong belief that fat in our diet was the major cause of breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer and oth...

Eating Fruits and Veggies Equals Healthy Arteries in Later Years
Previous studies have found that middle-aged adults whose diet consists of a high proportion of fruits and vegetables are less likely to have a heart attack or stroke, but the relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption during young adulthood and heart disease later in life was less clear. To study this concept, researchers evaluated the association between dietary intake of fruits and vegetables in young adults and the presence of coronary artery calcification (CAC) 20 years later. CAC scores, which were obtained using a CT scan, provide a direct estimate of the amount of plaque in the coronary arteries.

Using financial incentives to increase fruit and vegetable consumption in the UK
Summary Encouraging the consumption of fruits and vegetables can help people increase their intake of micronutrients, dietary fibre and non‐nutrient substances, which together have benefits for health. A high intake of fruits and vegetables is associated with a lower risk of a number of diseases including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. Among the numerous barriers to purchasing fruits and vegetables, price is still cited as a common factor. Therefore, more needs to be done to incentivise consumers to pick up more of these foods during their weekly shop. The UK Public Health Responsibility Deal se...

Total and specific fruit and vegetable consumption and risk of stroke: A prospective study
Conclusion: This study shows an inverse association of fruit and vegetable consumption with stroke risk. Particularly consumption of apples and pears and green leafy vegetables was inversely associated with stroke.Highlights: ► Fruit and vegetables is a heterogeneous food group with different content of nutrients. ► It remains unclear which fruit and vegetable subgroups that are most protective against stroke. ► We examined the relation between fruit and vegetable consumption and stroke risk. ► Particularly consumption of apples/pears and green leafy vegetables was inversely associated with stroke.
