Fruit, vegetables, and cancer prevention: a review of the epidemiological evidence.

It would appear that major public health benefits could be achieved by substantially increasing consumption of fruit and vegetable consumption, and in particular in cancers of the esophagus, oral cavity, and larynx, for which 28 of 29 studies were significant.

Fruit and Vegetable Intake in the United States: The Baseline Survey of the Five a Day for Better Health Program

Fruit and vegetable intake among adults in the United States is lower than the recommended minimum of five daily servings and this data will be useful in targeting campaign efforts and in assessing progress of the Five A Day for Better Health Program.

Investigating Biological Systems Using Modeling: Strategies and Software

This book discusses in a hands-on approach how to use mathematical modeling to investigate biological systems and examples are used from the fields of physiology, biochemistry, nutrition, agriculture, pharmacology, and medicine.

Psychosocial Factors Associated with Fruit and Vegetable Consumption

Of the factors studied, the most important in determining someone's fruit and vegetable intake were the number of servings they thought they should have in a day, whether they liked the taste, and whether they had been in the habit of eating many fruits and vegetables since childhood.

Fruit and vegetables in the American diet: data from the NHANES II survey.

Although caloric and fat intake increased with increasing servings of fruit and vegetables, the percent of calories from fat remained relatively constant and the discrepancy between dietary guidelines and the actual diet suggests a need for extensive public education.

"Eat for Health": a supermarket intervention for nutrition and cancer risk reduction.

Despite the intervention's success, limitations of the consumer survey and sales data analyses and the continuing diffusion of nutrition messages throughout society make it difficult to specify the impact of this program on consumer nutrition knowledge and behaviors.

Food choices of whites, blacks, and Hispanics: data from the 1987 National Health Interview Survey.

Public health messages should be targeted at increasing the overall consumption of fruits and vegetables, decreasing consumption of high-fat foods, especially among white and black men, and increasing consumption of those healthful foods already consumed by particular race/ethnicity groups.

Human selenite metabolism: a kinetic model.

A model is developed to describe the kinetics of sodium selenite metabolism in humans, based on plasma, urine, and fecal samples obtained from six subjects over a 4-wk period after a single oral…
