Title: | UC Davis Study Published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture | | Pub. date: | 03/14/2007 | | Includes: | Research study, fact sheet, executive summary, video | | Audience: | Nutrition Educators | | Description: | Recent and classical literature was reviewed to obtain current information on the nutrient value of fresh, canned and frozen foods with an emphasis on fruits and vegetables. The extensive literature review confirms that all forms of fruits and vegetables provide nutrients needed for a healthful diet, and that exclusively consuming fresh fruits and vegetables ignores nutritional benefits provided by canned products. The study was conducted by the University of California Davis, published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture and funded by the Canned Food Alliance. The study web site links to a video by the study’s author, an executive summary, a fact sheet and a PDF version of the complete study. | | Funding Source: | Canned Food Alliance |
