Seven-a-day fruit and veg 'saves lives'

Also these studies leave out certain things,I would bet that someone who eats plenty of fruit and veg is health conscious,meaning they probably don't smoke,keep fitter and eat less sugar as well and the veg part is only a small percentage of the benifits.

I'll agree with that

The main reason given why some families dont eat the prescribed amount is because of the cost....So what's the problem in The Philippines? Lucky Jake and Doc Alan has pointed the stuff grows on trees over there. Unlike in the UK, fruit and veg is cheaper than fast food

I remember getting on a plane in Coron bound for Manila in 2011. We all had to be weighed....Out of the whole passenger list, I was the heaviest at 76kgs (63kgs in the pic) and by no means the tallest at 5 6''

Yes, the Philippines are becoming fatter as a nation but, from what Ive witnessed, they've got light years to go to catch up with us in the west
