Mount Sinai study finds only a weak link between fruit and vegetable and reduced risk

Oh, great. Now vegetables aren't even that good for you.


An analysis by Mount Sinai researchers of over eight years of dietary data from more than 400,000 people has found that the relationship between high consumption of fruits and vegetables and a reduced risk of cancer is not as strong as commonly thought. The study is published online April 6, 2010 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

It is widely believed that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of cancer. In 1990, the World Health Organization recommended eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day to prevent cancer and other diseases. However, although many studies have been conducted since then, none have been able to confirm an association between fruit and vegetable intake and cancer resistance.

And further to the study, I found out (only because according to doctors and dietitions) I eat too many vegetables and so intake too much vitamin A and Folic Acid. This has turned my hands and feet yellow and apparently if they were to cut me open, my liver would also be yellow.

If I were to start smoking, I'd drasticly increase my chances of getting lung cancer far more then an ordinary smoker- something to do with the crap in cigs and vitamin A not biding well...
I just hope it doesn't include pollution as some sort of cancer inducint smog!
