Apples classed as a superfood.....
A new scientific review on apples has found they can be protective against cancer. Published May 4th 2009, Country News.
The high antioxidant capacity of apples is believed to be one of the resaons for their impressive disease fighting potential. According to Karen Kingham, apples are one of the best and cheapest fruit sources of antioxidants.
"An apple has more antioxidants than half a punnet of blueberries or a cup of strawberries, more than twice the antioxidants of a cup of tea, about three times the antioxidants of an orange or a cup of grapes, and almost eight times the antioxidants of a banana," Ms Kingham said.
"The science suggests that regular apple consumption, an apple a day or at least several apples a week, can make a significant difference to health", Ms Kingham said.
