Teenagers who eat the least fruit, for example, are much more likely to develop respiratory problems, such as asthma, wheezing, and chronic bronchitis, according to a study conducted by the Harvard University School of Medicine.

The study involved over 2,000 teenagers and found this effect regarding fruits.
