Apple Crazy

We have a tree in our back garden, they are green cooking apples, not sure exactly of the name though! Got a yield of around 150 last year, going to brew cider from them this year I think =)

he proverb "An apple a day keeps the doctor away.", addressing the health effects of the fruit, dates from the 19th century Wales.[59] Research suggests that apples may reduce the risk of colon cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer.[55] Compared to many other fruits and vegetables, apples contain relatively low amounts of vitamin C, but are a rich source of other antioxidant compounds.[47] The fiber content, while less than in most other fruits, helps regulate bowel movements and may thus reduce the risk of colon cancer. They may also help with heart disease,[60] weight loss,[60] and controlling cholesterol. The fiber contained in apples reduces cholesterol by preventing reabsorption, and (like most fruits and vegetables) they are bulky for their caloric content.[57][60]

There is evidence that in vitro apples possess phenolic compounds which may be cancer-protective and demonstrate antioxidant activity.[61] The predominant phenolic phytochemicals in apples are quercetin, epicatechin, and procyanidin B2.[62]

Apple juice concentrate has been found to increase the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in mice, providing a potential mechanism for the "prevention of the decline in cognitive performance that accompanies dietary and genetic deficiencies and aging." Other studies have shown an "alleviat[ion of] oxidative damage and cognitive decline" in mice after the administration of apple juice.[58]

Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong discovered that fruit flies who were fed an apple extract lived 10 percent longer than other flies who were fed a normal diet. [63]

However, apple seeds are mildly poisonous, containing a small amount of amygdalin, a cyanogenic glycoside; it usually is not enough to be dangerous to humans, but can deter birds.[64]
