to eat the same, say, 4 or 5 vegetables each day, which would be the

Even with 4 or 5 veggies you can have variety, especially if they are
from different families--i.e., cabbage and broccoli would give less
variety than broccoli and tomatoes. A friend ate several carrots every
single day without fail for months and her skin turned yellow. Other
strange symptoms appeared, she went to the doc, who diagnosed vitamin A
overdose. His prescription was, stop eating so many carrots.
I doubt there is a real answer to "which would be the healthiest."
