Modest increases in fruit and vegetable intake of just one or two servings
a day may be associated with large benefits for health. Scientists have come up with hard evidence that eating fruit and vegetables
cuts the risk of heart disease. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and is found in many fruit and vegetables.
Antioxidants prevent cholesterol from 'oxidizing' - the process that leads

found that together, these chemicals have an effect which far outweighs
that of taking only vitamin C. |
