The Daily PollGOVERNMENTS AND HEALTH authorities have been running five-a-day campaigns for years, encouraging people to eat their fruit and vegetables as part of a balanced diet.
Writing for The Journal at the weekend, Dr Jolanta Burke explained that research on this advice disagrees and we may need much more than that to keep us healthy.
One study found we need to eat seven portions a day to reduce the risk of death from cancer and heart disease – another stated we need as many as ten portions to reduce these deaths by 30%.
We want to know: Do you eat five portions of fruit and vegetables per day?

Bit of egg on the face of GSOC….
Omelette on the face of Sunday Times journo…
@kris, how is it egg on GSOC face, they were under surveillance or are you telling me you believe this pile of Cook ,
Lm group, they were not under any kind of surveillance. How on earth can you suggest they were?
As expected garda and gsoc pick out the phrases in the report that make them look good and ‘agree with the findings’ and ‘welcome the report’.
Beware of the voices LM Group…
The GSOC has proved to be a useless and garda controlled organisation.
It is in no way an independent watchdog of there are currently serving Garda members in GSOC.
GSOC needs to be destroyed and replaced with a fully independent body with actual power to seek out and repair faults and corruption in An Garda Siochana. It’s as simple as that.
the gardai get red thumbs pressing buttons hereon
Not Simon O Brien, still toughing it out , Imagine that lad doing an investigation, he’s been told , and told, but no he is still right, everyone is wrong, a major clear out in that place needed ASAP.
Fair play to you for gaining internet access in the padded cell Harold.
Hi harry. Hey listen do I get that summons yet from you?
See folks harry wants to sue me for a couple of observations I made about him. Still waiting harry
Noirin is looking at it, well all her senior management are in daily contact with GSOC and are cooperating fully with them, o wait there not, imagine the lads filling Noirin full of crap and letting her tell the Dail a pack of lies and then her having to go back in an retract your statement , time for a clear out
100% True.
When the politicians of all parties get their grubby hands off the appointment of senior Gardai, when an outsider is appointed Commissioner and when active Gardai are removed from GSOC then maybe a measure of credibility might be restored all round.
have your say
