“… the current evidence collectively demonstrates that
fruit and vegetable intake is associated with improved health, reduced risk of
major diseases, and possibly delayed onset of age related indicators. ” Diane

Men and women whose diets were high in fruits and
vegetables were shown to have lower rates of angina, arthritis, asthma,

" a starting point… is the regular consumption of foods
that are naturally high in antioxidants and other phytochemicals (fruits,
vegetables…). These foods contain hundreds of biologically active constituents
not present in dietary supplements…”, Michael Liebman, Ph. D., “Nutritional
Tactics Against Cardiovascular Disease”, Natural Pharmacy, Vol. 5, No. 7, July
August 2001, p 30
“ Understanding the intricate world of phytochemicals opens
opportunities to use these botanicals for their inherently powerful dietary and
medicinal value. Studies lend credence to their numerous disease-prevention
properties.- cholesterol-lowering phytosterols, saponins, and phenolics; hormone
mimicing sapogenins; blood thinning proanthrocyanidins; and eye-sight enhancing
anthocyanins.” – C. Leigh Broadhurst, Ph. D., “Phytochemicals: The Ties That
Bind”, Nutrition Science News, Vol. 6, No. 7, July 2001 P 262

disease, some cancers, cataracts, and other health problems…Most experts think
that the best way to get these… is by eating fruits and vegetables… rather than
by taking vitamin pills.” Life Extension: Science or Science Fiction? National
Institute on Aging
“Because of their safety and the fact that they are not
perceived as “medicine”, food-derived products are highly interesting for
development as chemo-preventive agents that may find widespread, long-term use
in populations at normal risk… Many food –derived agents are extracts,
containing multiple compounds…these compounds may find use as
chemo-preventatives in higher risk subjects (as well). Journal of Nutrition,
2000 Feb: 130(2S Suppli ) pp 4678-4718
