“our results show that after 24 days of complete depletion of fruits and vegetables complete depletion or ingestion of 600 grams of fruits and vegetables that's like pound and a half or the corresponding amount of vitamins and minerals the level of oxidative DNA damage was unchanged”

“no effect of 600 grams fruit and vegetables per day on oxidative DNA damage and repair in healthy non-smokers”

“there are a number of fruit and vegetables this is fruity and vegetable together depletion studies that don't actually show significant negative effects of humans”

“there are studies where they compare groups of people and these are not even the perfectly done studies these are probably people eating a standard or semi-standard american diet and they'll compare one group with vegetables and one group with reduced vegetables or no vegetables and there are multiple studies that show no differences in dna damage markers lymphocyte you know activation immune activation inflammatory markers”

“here's one greater than five portions of fruit and vegetables per day or less than two portions of fruit and vegetables per day for 12 weeks no changes in any biomarkers Okay”
