Health benefits of Apples

APPLES PREVENT CANCER Consumption of flavonol-rich apples could help reduce your risk of developing pancreatic cancer by up to 23 per cent. When the natural fiber in apples ferments in the colon, it produces chemicals that help fight the formation of cancer cells. Researchers have identified several compounds—triterpenoids—in apple peel that have potent anti-growth activities against cancer cells in the liver, colon and breast. A high fibre intake helps reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
