Myth: You need to eat five portions of fruit and veg a day
誤區三:每日五蔬果
"Five-a-day is the most well-known piece of nutritional advice," says Harcombe. "You'd think it was based on firm evidence of health benefit. Think again!"
赫爾康比說:“每日五蔬果的營養建議可謂家喻戶曉。如果你認為有充足的證據來證實此建議有益身體健康,那么你就又錯了!”
"Five-a-day started as a marketing campaign by 25 fruit and veg companies and the American National Cancer Institute in 1991. There was no evidence for any cancer benefit."
“每日五蔬果的建議最早是由25家果蔬銷售公司與美國國家癌癥研究中心在1991年聯合推出的營銷策略。目前尚無證據表明它有抗癌作用。”
