It seems like everything we love to eat could be bad for us - but apples?
While it’s true than an apple a day could keep lots of bad stuff away, including Alzheimer’s colon cancer and gum disease, even apples have a down side.
Conventionally grown apples can be loaded with pesticides and they’re hard to wash off, especially the waxy variety. You’re best bet is to peel them, which is a shame because a lot of the good stuff is in the skin. Go with organic whenever possible.
Dried apples can pose a problem too, especially for those with allergies. Sulfur dioxide is usually added to them to preserve moistness and color which can provoke an allergic reaction for some people. Dried apples are also harder to digest and often loaded with sugar.
