Abstract/Notes BACKGROUND: A distinct health advantage has been linked with eating a wide variety of fresh fruit and vegetables.

OBJECTIVE: This study explores the diversity of fruits and vegetables consumed by chiropractic patients and inquires into their preferred purchasing patterns.

METHOD: A case study that included patients attending 24 chiropractic practices in 5 states and the Australian Capital Territory was undertaken. Seven hundred eighty-two patients were asked to complete a questionnaire providing general information about their life-style and particular information about the number of servings of fruits and vegetables that they usually consumed.

RESULTS: Although overall chiropractic patients reported adhering to a number of healthy life-style behaviors, participants in this study would benefit from eating a greater diversity of fruits and vegetables.

CONCLUSION: In view of the substantial health benefits associated with eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, it is suggested that chiropractic patients be encouraged to follow a color code system for purchasing their fresh produce.
