NPR: Fruits and Veggies Prevent Cancer? Not So Much, It Turns Out

Link: NPR: Fruits and Veggies Prevent Cancer? Not So Much, It Turns Out

I swear I saw version of this article in the New York Times in the fall. Actually, I know I did. My dad cut it out of the paper and gave it to my mom to give me, telling me “see! They’re not good for you.” 

Well, it seems like every study contradicts another one, but don’t take this as an excuse to not eat your fruits and veggies! As the article points out at the end, they do prevent heart disease because of their anti-inflammatory properties. That and, oh yeah, you feel better when you eat them.
