There's no queston that eating more fruits and vegetables is critical. I spent the past 8 years in the Diabetes arena. It's so easy to look at people with diabetes (type 2) and blame their poor choices. In some cases, that's correct. We still need to better understand the interplay betwen genetics and diet.
As a cancer survivor, there's a lot of discussion about certain foods helping to prevent cancer while others may cause it. I've always loved blueberries, they are the SUPERFOOD. They didn't keep me from getting cancer (Hodgkins Lymphoma). Interestingly, though, when I was diagnosed and asked my Oncolgoists's office on how to change my diet, their only recommendation was to get more protein to help with my strength as chemo's effects got worse.
My kids have some kind of fruit or vegetable (always fresh or frozen) with each meal if I can help it. Both love broccoli, edamame, etc. Now to get my husband to.
