"Researchers from the State University of Rio de Janeiro studying the impact of fruit intake on weight loss found that overweight women who ate just 300 grams of apples or pears – that's the equivalent of three small fruits a day – lost more weight on a low-calorie diet than women who didn't add fruit to their diet."

A few cancers apples help stomp out are digestive, prostate, colon, liver, and lung cancers. Apples also help reduce the incidence of COPD in chronic smokers, reduces incidences of asthma, childhood asthma, and chronic cough. Apples are great for reducing heart disease by lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol oxidation and are high in fiber and flavonoids.
