Summary

Introduction

An apple a day keeps the doctor away is a commonly learned expression from our early childhood, though it is not the apple but the substance which is present inside an apple that is what keeps the doctor away. As per this study, funded by an apple industry group, published in the Journal of Functional Foods it says those who ate a daily apple over four weeks lowered 'bad' cholesterol termed as low-density lipoprotein in the blood by 40 percent and thereby averting the risk of heart disease [1]. Doctors always recommend their patients to eat whole foods and for some undetermined reasons their patients tend to show astonishing recovery with a diet based on whole grain foods and vegetables and fresh fruits. This is based on two studies, the first comparing 2,709 cases of digestive tract cancer to 2,879 hospital admitted controls, and the second comparing 1,953 cases of colorectal cancer to 4,154 controls [2]
