Unhealthy Brits fail to eat enough fruit and vegetables

摘要

Eleven per cent of Britons never eat the recommended daily amount of fruit and vegetables - and most don't actually believe they should, according to a new study.In a disturbing survey of the nation's eating habits, 7% of people in the UK said that they don't think there are any health benefits to eating fresh fruit at all. And, according to the report launched in February, 13% of the population doesn't even believe that sugar, processed foods, or saturated fats are bad for them. People living in Yorkshire and Northern Ireland were found to have the least fruit and vegetables in their diet, the survey by British Summer Fruits revealed. Meanwhile, young people aged 16 to 24 are most ignorant about what they eat, with 9% saying they don't think fresh fruit is good for their health and 47% not knowing that it is a source of vitamin C.
