5 A Day

5 A Day is the name of a number of programs in countries such as the USA, the United Kingdom and Germany, to encourage the consumption of at least five portions of fruit and vegetables each day, following a recommendation by the World Health Organization that individuals consume at least 400g of vegetables daily.

In April 2010, the results of a major study involving 500,000 people in Europe suggested that consumption of fruit and vegetables had little impact on reducing cancer.
