| What comes in all shapes, colors and sizes, can help prevent cancer, heart disease and obesity?
The answer is not some magic diet pill, but Vegetables are low in calories and are low in fat and have no cholesterol. A high-fat diet raises your chance of getting heart disease and some kinds of cancer. Vegetables, on the other hand, are very low in the kind of fat linked to heart disease. Many foods from animals contain cholesterol. Eating these animal products may increase the cholesterol in your blood and raise your risk of heart disease. Since vegetables contain no cholesterol, eating them can help prevent this killer disease.
