-
so estimates are that you can attribute
-
two point six million deaths per year globally
-
to low intake of fruits and vegetables.
-
Those same estimates say that if you could turn that around,
-
that if the world could eat the recommended level of fruits and vegetables,
-
that you'd reduce the prevalence of heart disease by 31%.
-
Now, figure in the fact that smoking is playing a role,
-
physical activity is playing a role,
-
still just changing fruit and vegetable consumption
-
potentially could reduce heart disease worldwide by this much:
-
stroke by 19% and some cancers by as much as 20%.
-
Changing the diet of populations is a pretty good idea
