KLANG: The majority of Malaysians consume an alarmingly small amount of vegetables and fruits so much so that it has become a national health concern, says Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam.

He said up to 85% of adult Malaysians do not consume sufficient fruits and vegetables, while there are those who do not eat them at all.
