毎日リンゴを食べることで心臓発作等を回避できるという研究が発表されました。
Apple-a-day call for all over-50s

If everyone over the age of 50 ate an apple a day, 8,500 deaths from heart attacks and strokes could be avoided every year in the UK, say researchers.

Apples would give a similar boost to cardiovascular health as medicines, such as statins, yet carry none of the side-effects, the University of Oxford researchers say in the BMJ.

They base their assumptions on modelling, not direct scientific study.

Any fruit should work, but getting people to comply could be challenging.

More than two-thirds of adults do not eat the recommended five portions of fruit and veg a day, population surveys suggest.

And although nine in 10 of us do manage to eat at least one portion a day, Dr Adam Briggs and colleagues, from the British Heart Foundation Health Promotion Research Group at Oxford University, say we would all benefit from eating more.

By their calculations, if adults of all ages could manage to eat an extra portion of fruit or veg a day, as many as 11,000 vascular deaths could be averted each year.

この記事の中に出てくる”vascular”を『Wisdom英和辞典（第三版）』（三省堂）を調べると「導管，血管」などという意味でした。食べ物や飲み物と健康に関する関係の調査をたくさん見ますが，自分で記事をよく読んで，なぜそう言えるのかを確認することが大切であると思います。（Ume）
