| Can an apple a day really
keep the doctor away? That belief has been common since medieval
times, and it turns out for good reason: Researchers from Cornell
University have found that an apple's peel and flesh contain
powerful cancer-fighting and -preventing chemicals.
Apples may live up to their age-old reputation, but
blindly following food adages and superstitions can sometimes be
harmful, says Roberta Duyff, MS, RD, author of Food Folklore: Tales
and Truths about What We Eat (Chronimed Publishing, 1998). So seek
out the guidance of a licenced health professional before you try
any suspicious dietary "cures." |
