INTRODUCTION
The apple is the pomaceous fruit of the apple tree, Malus domestica of the rose family (Rosaceae). It is one of the most widely cultivatedtree fruits, and the most widely known of the many members of genus Malus that are used by humans. Apples grow on deciduous trees which are large if grown from seed, but small if grafted onto roots (rootstock). The tree originated in Central Asia, where its wild ancestor,Malus sieversii, is still found today. Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Asia and Europe, and were brought to North America by European colonists. Apples have been present in the mythology and religions of many cultures, including Norse, Greek and Christian traditions. In 2010, the fruit's genome was decoded as part of research on disease control and selective breeding in apple production.
Don’t you know that apples are the second most popular fruit and it is packed with disease-fighting vitamins, antioxidants and more, easily making them one of the top-ranked fruits for your health. Compared to other commonly consumed fruits in the US, apples ranked second for highest antioxidant activity. Since apples are so high in antioxidants, it is no surprise that apples, specifically, are associated with a decreased risk of chronic disease. Three studies have specifically linked apple consumption with a decreased risk for cancer and a study has shown that apple and pear consumption has been associated with a decreased risk of asthma. Apple consumption has also been associated with a decreased risk of coronary heart disease and a reduced risk of Type II

    Murray sees the standard American diet as the precursor to poor health. He describes the American diet as high in fat and sugar and low in fiber. Murray cites “the three leading causes of death in the United States -heart disease, cancer and stokes- are diet related and one third of our adult population is overweight” (Murray 2). Murray strongly believes in the link between diet and disease prevention. The basis of his book is that increasing the amount of fruit and vegetables consumed will improve health, and juicing is the easiest way to do this. It is easy to agree with his advice to eat more fruit and vegetables since it has become the advice of the Surgeon General and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Certain segments of the population, like diabetics, may have to take special care to read advice directed to specifically to their problem. For example, diabetics should drink more vegetable juice and less fruit juice to lessen the sugar consumed. Some feel that juicing removes fiber. He answers question of fiber by informing us…

    On the other hand, apples, although a good source of vitamin C lack the concentration that is obviously present in oranges. Thus, when eating an apple it seems that the apple’s nutritional value is simply calorie intake—fuel for the body. While this function is necessary, oranges ‘play double duty’. They provide us with calories at the same time as helping us to fight viruses and disease. Furthermore, eating an apple only requires a strong jaw and teeth. It does not help us to practice transferable skills such as…
