Disease has an inverse relationship with nutrition: Eat more fruits and vegetables to reduce risk of nearly all disease, research finds

A team of scientists from Imperial College London pulled together all the world’s available population studies that document fruit and vegetable intake. The ninety-five studies included two million people and accounted for 112,000 cases of cancer, 81,000 cases of cardiovascular disease, 47,000 cases of stroke, 43,000 cases of heart disease, and 94,000 premature deaths. They wanted to find out if nutrition has any real-world impact on reducing the risk of chronic disease and premature death. Their findings, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, suggest that disease has an inverse relationship with nutrition.
