Researchers used the Health Survey for England to study the eating habits of 65226 people representative of The english population between 2001 and 2013 and found that the more fruit
The research also showed that vegetables have significantly higher health benefits than fruit. This is the first study to link fruit
and vegetable consumption with all-cause cancer and heart disease deaths in a nationally-representative population the first to quantify health benefits per-portion
& Community Health found that fresh vegetables had the strongest protective effect with each daily portion reducing overall risk of death by 16%.
Our study shows that people following Australia's'Go for 2+5'advice will reap huge health benefits says Dr Oyebode.
The negative health impacts of the sugar may well outweigh any benefits. Another possibility is that there are confounding factors that we could not control for such as poor access to fresh groceries among people who have preexisting health conditions hectic lifestyles
or who live in deprived areas.**Note: 13. 0m tons of canned fruit and vegetables were sold in the EU in 2008 compared to 3. 7m for frozen fruit and vegetables.

#Health costs of air pollution from agriculture clarifiedammonia pollution from agricultural sources poses larger health costs than previously estimated according to NASA-funded research.
The improved simulation helped the scientists narrow in on the estimated health costs from air pollution associated with food produced for export--a growing sector of agriculture and a source of trade surplus.
The new research by Paulot and Jacob calculate the health cost associated with the ammonia emissions from agriculture exports to be $36 billion a year--equal to about half of the revenue generated by those same exports--or $100 per kilogram of ammonia.
The particulates that pose the greatest health risk are those that measure no more than 2. 5 micrometers across or about 1/30 the width of a human hair
For this reason the largest health costs are carried most often by the more populated states in the Northeast and Great lakes region.

1996-2012 was published March 24 in the open-access peer-reviewed journal Population Health Metrics. Total cigarette smoking prevalence--the percentage of the population that smokes--has decreased not significantly in all counties
what we have seen with gaps in life expectancy between counties said Dr. Ali Mokdad Professor of Global Health at IHME and one of the study authors.
According to the most recent figures from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study coordinated by IHME tobacco smoking was linked to 465000 deaths and 12%of total health loss in the US.
Globally tobacco led to 5. 7 million deaths and 5. 5%of total health loss.

Even after showing warning labels to participating children around two-thirds (62%)of the children were unable to explain what the health warnings were about.
Among the six countries studied awareness and understanding of health warning labels was greatest among children in Brazil where graphic warning labels often featuring extremely gruesome pictures have been featured

We need to do a better job globally to reach children with anti-smoking messages. To do this health warning messages should be big and clear especially for low-literacy populations children and young people.
According to the World health organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) tobacco product packages and labeling should effectively communicate the health risks associated with tobacco use
and that the effectiveness of these health warnings and messages increases with their prominence and with the use of pictures.
This new study follows recent work by Borzekowski and Cohen published in the journal Pediatrics in October 2013.

because they put more weight on abstract higher-level benefits like health and future well-being said Gardner.
To get more insight into the underlying process the fourth study focused specifically on the thoughts related to food choice and differentiated concrete (taste/enjoyment-oriented) versus abstract (nutrition/health-oriented) benefits.
The findings also indicate the integral aspect of the time horizon showing that individuals in positive moods who make healthier food choices are often thinking more about future health benefits than those in negative moods who focus more on the immediate taste and sensory experience.
