The Importance Of Fruit And Vegetable Consumption

Hype and hoax alert!

Fruit and vegetable consumption is correlated with changes in skin redness and yellowness, as reported in the open access journal PLoS ONE.

The researchers, led by Ross Whitehead and David Perrett of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, investigated whether the amount of fruit and vegetables eaten affects skin color. They monitored the fruit and vegetable intake for 35 individuals over six weeks and found that skin redness and yellowness increased with increasing fruit and vegetable consumption.

They also found that changes in skin color associated with increased fruit and vegetable consumption were correlated with increased attractiveness, suggesting that the skin color changes reflect improved health.

Important if you want to be attractive?

Really?
