Mitsubishi€'s vitamin-boosting fridge

Among the slew of new household products Mitsubishi has just announced are several refrigerators that will boost the vitamin C content of your vegetables by 10% during storage (though not if you leave them in there for a year or two, we presume). The trick is that instead of plunging your legumes into total darkness the &Delicious Vitamin Boost Light Power Vegetable Compartment& uses coloured LED lights at frequencies that don't "stimulate germination", and they have some graphs and photos of a cabbage to prove it works.
