Eating seven or more portions of fruit and vegetables a day is healthier than the five currently recommended and would prolong lives, researchers say.

A study of 65,226 men and women indicated the more fruit and vegetables people ate, the less likely they were to die - at any given age.

Seven a day cut the risk of dying from cancer and heart disease.

But the government says its "five-a-day" advice is sufficient and that many of us struggle to achieve even this.

Oh good grief!!!

I am so fed up with them being so willy nilly.

Next month we will b e told we are poisoning ourselves eating veg and fruit!!

I'd never be off the  p909 if that was the case!!!!  xmas19

we will be eating all day, and then they will say we are too big

What a lot of twaddle, I'm lucky if I can do 7 a week never mind a day.

My personal thoughts are this could be a good April fool joke, if it isn't it should be.  ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^
