'Pick the right veg' for health

Pick the wrong one - you die.

Obvious choices of fruit and vegetables are not necessarily the healthiest, say researchers.

According to US experts, making simple swaps like eating sweet potatoes instead of carrots and papaya rather than oranges could make a difference.

Foods, like raspberries, watercress and kale, are richer in phytonutrients which may help prevent disease, they told a US meeting.

UK nutritionists said a balanced diet is essential to good health.

The British Nutrition Foundation warned that relying on eating a few select food types to boost health was ill-advised and said there was no such thing as a "superfood".

Experts recommend five portions a day of fruit and veg in a healthy diet..

But the most popular varieties may not be the best, according to US researchers.

However, the 5-a-day experts are wrong about the "five part" and the "health" part.

Still, vegs and fruits are gonna be okay as long as you do the Calories out vs. Calories in thing so you do not develop overweight or obesity.

That is where problems lie.
