The intervention is six weeks of consuming two 'SunGold' kiwifruit per day as part of the customary diet, with the exclusion of vitamin supplements. The control treatment is the customary diet with the exclusion of kiwifruit and vitamin supplements. For all participants there is a three week kiwifruit-free lead in period, a three week kiwifruit-free wash out period at cross-over, and a three week kiwifruit free follow up at the end of the second intervention.

Kiwifruit consumption will be monitored and recorded during weekly delivery of kiwifruit.,to subjects
