The Role Of Apples In Preventative Health

摘要

APPLES have long been a symbol of good health, and researchers around the world are taking notice. Emerging apple research has emphasized the role of apples in preventing disease at a time when consumers are looking to "keep the doctor away" and combat the onset of life-threatening ailments. Scientists are discovering that apples are not only fat free, cholesterol free, and rich in fiber, but they are also loaded with potent antioxidants. While the study of apple-specific antioxidants as related to diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and rype-2 diabetes is ongoing, the apparent health benefits of whole apples and apple juice have propelled the fruit's reputation as an easy, convenient, and delicious way to help stave off illness.
