Vegetables alone not enough to reduce heart risk, study finds

Vegetables alone not enough to reduce heart risk, study finds Vegetables may be good for you, but eating a lot of them is unlikely to reduce your risk of a heart attack or stroke, a large UK study suggests.

What else we eat, how much exercise we do and where and how we live may have more of an impact, the researchers say.

But they emphasise that a balanced diet helps reduce the risk of many diseases, including some cancers. BBC News
