"[T]he evidence is simply inadequate at this time to determine whether fruit and vegetable intake confers modest protection against cancer," the pair wrote.

"Researchers should recognize this uncertainty in nutrition and cancer epidemiology and do what it takes to move ahead, especially when it comes to improving exposure assessment in observational studies."

I've got dozens of links to studies that say exactly the opposite of this study, if anybody's interested....
