Apple season's here again? And once again misconceptions are bountiful
On lifestyle page D5 of today's Daily Sun, there are a couple of articles on the health benefits of apples and apple juice. See if you can find out how, taken as a whole, these articles might be confusing and misleading.
Hint #1: The popular saying is: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Hint #2: There's no saying that says: Drinking apple juice everyday keeps the doctor away. Note: A hint is just a hint and not to be taken literally. Last edited by Villages PL; 10-01-2014 at 12:39 PM. |

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. . . unless you choke on a worm.

I once interview a woman who had a job testing the freshness of stored apples. Her testing was to ensure that no atmosphere was present. she said the apples on the shelve stores today were probably a harvest from two or three years ago. Technology has probably advance 10 fold since I interviewed her in 1985.
An apple a day keep the doctor away. A recent article in WSJ concerning the reversal on meat had a heading "A steak a day keeps the doctor away". You get the feeling that someone is just playing with us? Well I did agree with the auto tech guy that said they really do manufacture left hand money wrenches |

I edited my opening post. Sorry, I thought it would be obvious that a hint is just a hint and not to be taken literally. However, it's interesting to note that no one has ever said that drinking apple juice would do the same as eating an apple.

The lesson I learned is to buy organic apples in season. Aldi didn't have any out of season. So I assume they are not kept in artificial long term storage. |

This is a very confusing thread. My take away is, if you want an apple, eat an apple!!

The very best apples are usually sold individually or in 3lb bags. The rest are juiced. So it's not likely that worms will be in whole apples. |

So many different varieties of apples to choose from these days. Most of them I never heard of in my youth some 60 years ago.
How did this happen? I'm betting the basic apple has been genetically modified to produce so many different varieties of texture, taste, color, size, etc. that we enjoy today. Probably happened via a process called selective breeding. |

Apples
Where can you purchase large quantities of apples for apples sauce at a decent price.
