New research from Poland shows that eating apples
regularly may reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer.
A study compared patients suffering from the disease with those who were free of the disease and found a reduced risk was observed in those who ate one apple a day, while those who ate more than one apple a day reduced their risk by half.
The high level of antioxidants in apples is thought to help reduce cancer risk, with the skin of an apple containing five times the level of antioxidants as the flesh, so while you should wash apples, you shouldn't peel them.
Researchers say that eating other fruit or vegetables did not have the same effects when it came to lowering the risk of colorectal cancer.
