[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2763019, member: 150927"] Alas, the importance of '5 a day' is not a real nutritional piece of info backed up by science! It's actually a marketing slogan from, and I have read different countries for this, but the one I have read the most is - from the Canadian Fruit and Veg board. But folks love it I guess, as it has stuck around, to such an extent, we all, and me too once upon a time, believe it had been rigourously researched. But no. The five is arbitary, I take it. I believe, if you are eating wholefoods, that you an pretty much let your body tell you how much veg you need! (If any?!) And even then, it probably boils down to personal taste. Ditto fruit.
