![]() ![]() Reduce the risk of lung cancerĪ recent meta-analysis of 22 control studies and 21 cohort studies by researchers from the University of Perugia, Italy, found that apples significantly reduce the risk of lung cancer. Though the researchers couldn’t pinpoint the reason (quercetin wasn’t it), they did find that apples reduced instances of brain stroke in the participants. Reduce the risk of strokesĮating apples regularly can reduce the risks of thrombotic stroke (when a blood clot blocks an artery that takes blood to the brain).įrom 1967-1994, researchers at the National Public Health Institute, Helsinki, Finland, followed-up with 9,208 Finnish men and women to study the effect of antioxidant flavonoid quercetin (found in apples) on cerebrovascular diseases (diseases of blood vessels in the brain). The result: researchers found that weekly consumption of three servings of apples reduced the risk of type 2 diabetes among the participants by 7%. Researchers analysed the diet of these participants - 151,209 women and 36,173 men - based on a four-yearly questionnaire. The research, with 187,382 participants, was based on data from three prospective cohort studies in the UK, US and Singapore. ![]() Reduce the risk of diabetesĪccording to research published in the British Medical Journal, a peer-reviewed journal, eating whole apples (as well as blueberries, grapes and pears) can reduce the risk of diabetes. A study published in the Journal of Food Science found that phenolic extracts from apples (with skins) were even more effective in slowing neurotoxicity than the antioxidants in bananas and oranges. ![]()
