apples bad for you???

[Koing]

I was just speaking to mate and he says apples are bad for you?

"worse than fizzy drinks..,.new chemicals have resulted in a huge sugar count and they rott teath "

Can't be can it??? He says a recent study was done on apples and thats what they found out.....

I LOVE apples. I eat apples instead of anything else pratically. I don't snack on crisps, sweets or chocolate but instead I'll go grab two apples and eat that and go get some more later.

I go through aboaut 35+ apples in one week. I usually have about 5+ a day and that doesn't include other fruits I eat.

Any of you guys have any links and so on about apples? I've tried looking on google but got some not good links.

Now my mate says its a *fact* that apples rot your teeth worse then *coke*. I seriously can't believe that unless I read an article on it that is creible.

I did get some good apple facts though

here

also

but nothing on apples rotting your teeth.

If they are then I am a bit shagged with eating 5+ apples daily. I just can't imagine how can an apple be worse then say coke or chocolate bars? The pesterside on it but other then that I can't imagine so........

Even if they're harsh on your teeth, I would think that if you drink some water or brush your teeth after eating one, they couldn't do any damage. I actually heard that they're good for your teeth because they make you salivate which "washes" your teeth, so they're actually a good thing to eat if you can't brush. No, I don't have any links to back that up, think I heard it on tv...

Apples are actually good for your teeth. They are known as what is called a "detergent" fruit, meaning that they contain enzymes that reduce cavities. Besides, assuming normal health and no allergies, any fresh, unprocessed fruit or vegetable is good for you as long as you wash it to remove particulates before eating.

Oxygen is bad for you too! And gawd forbid you drink water!

 

[Gunbuster]

Too much of (fill in the blank) is bad for you

Dont you see the weekly waste of research money health studys on the news each week, they alternate with the "study finds wearing seatbelts in the back seat reduces injury"

Your friend is on crack. God knows the US could do with a few more avid apple-eaters like yourself....

"new chemicals? "rot teeth?" It's called fructose for f*cks sake...no big tooth-dissolving mystery there.

This seems to happen every now and then where some stupid study that violates every principle of the scientific method demonizes some innocuous food or beverage. Post the study and references of the investigators....I'd be happy to rip them apart for you.

Tell your friend to stop believing any and all Internet lore he reads.

I once saw Cher of all people say this on Good Morning America or some show like that...

She was complaining that Americans eat too much sugar and she listed apples as one of the things we should cut back on...

 

[SpecialEd]

I think your friend is just looking for an excuse to aviod healthy foods like apples.

 

[Russ]

b0mbrman,

Cher said it? I will immediately cease eating apples.

My gf's horse eats a lot of apples and he never gets sick.
His turds rankle, but he's healthy.
Apple's skins are high in fiber and could also reduce your risk of colon cancer.
Apples do tend to make people gassy, but other than that, I see no reason why eating a lot of apples would be bad for you.

 

[Bobomatic]

you guys make me want to eat apples, im going to see if I have any now.

 

[StageLeft]

Some people say milk is bad for you also. If milk is bad, and apples are bad, well damn I'm gonna start eating bigmacs all the time. Oh wait those are bad too...so maybe vegetables. No, they have extra chemicals as well. I think i'll stop eating.

 

[pyonir]

all these responses and i expected ONE at least to mention that yes apples are bad for you...especially Imacs.

You can be allergic to the toxins in apples. I love golden delicious and mcintosh apples, but my friend is deathly allergic to them.

 

[yobarman]

lol I JUST started eating apples for the first time in months today and i come upon this thread. scared me for a bit but i'll continue eating.

Well, ascorbic acid may not be too good for the teeth. Someone else was spreading a rumor about not eating citrus fruits within 1/2 hour before brushing your teeth.

But still, coffee, chocolate, and stuff are worse for the teeth. Relax, it's no big deal. It's not like eating apples is gonna do anything really bad to your teeth (unless they're loose). They're tasty though

Sounds like apple jealousy. My dentist has been recomending apples instead of donughts,candy or other processed crap. I like Fuji apples my self. Go thru 10lbs of em a week. At least 2 a day. From what the dentist says, corn nuts are the worst thing for your teeth. They cause all kinds of micro cracks and completly trash your teeth. They keep many a dentist in Sony's and Beamers. That wouldn't be a half bad thread, "what's your fav.apple?"
