You know how this goes: an apple a day . . .
So, yet another study – there been lots of these - has
found a benefit from a diet that includes apples regularly.
In this study, published online in the Journal of the
Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, researchers found that women who ate dried
apples every day for a year experienced a drop in their cholesterol levels,
while women who ate prunes (I wonder if they were coerced into that arm of the
study) didn’t.
Are apples a miracle product, then, to lower cholesterol
levels?
Of course not, but a diet with lots of apples in it
clearly can’t affect you adversely (unlike one with lots of prunes) and might
help a bit.
