Recent epidemiological data indicate a rise in the incidence of obesity, the metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. Increasing vegetable and fruit consumption may significantly reduce the mortality associated with these diseases. Scientific data from epidemiological, clinical and experimental studies suggest that a high intake of vegetables and fruits is inversely associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. However, data from prospective studies leave the question of the value of vegetable and fruit consumption in cancer prevention open.
This Congress will provide the latest information on the relevant epidemiology, human intervention studies, mechanisms of risk reduction, and on programmes to increase the daily intake of vegetables and fruits. The Congress aims to substantiate the recommendation to consume 5-a-day.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
