Nov 2005 Fresh-cut
Produce - Americans often cite convenience as a main barrier to eating
fruits and vegetables. Innovations in fresh-cut products help remove this
barrier making it easier for people to enjoy the health benefits of diets
rich in fruits and vegetables such as: decreased risk for heart disease,
type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and many types of cancer and the maintenance
of a healthy weight.

2003Low-Carbohydrate Diets - In the constant quest for weight loss,
Americans have lately turned more toward low-carbohydrate diets. At present,
there is
no published scientific evidence that these diets are more effective in producing
long-term weight loss than adopting healthy eating habits. There is, however,
an overwhelming body of scientific evidence in support of the relationship
between fruit and vegetable intake and health.
