Does Fruit and Veggie Protect Against Cancer?

A new study showed that eating fruit and vegetable will protect heart disease then cancer. If you eat 5 serving fruits and vegetable per day had 28% lower risk of herat diseases then who eats 1 serving a day.

"When you eat fruits and vegetables, you're meeting your calorie needs with healthy food, as opposed to meeting them with sugar, fat, or low-nutrient foods," said Jeanne Calle, director of analytic epidemiology for ACS. "Making good food choices is going to directly protect you from heart disease, but it's also going to protect you from weight gain, and that's going to protect you from cancer."
