Eat Well Tasmania

There is a direct link between a healthy diet and lower incidences of cancer.

A recent Australian study estimates that 11% of cancers may result from inadequate fruit and vegetable intake.

There are many good reasons to choose vegetables and fruit in season. Seasonal vegetables and fruit are at their peak and are nutritious, full of flavour and economical.
