Apples are one of the most popular fruits in the world. They are of different species and are family of the rose plant known for its delicious, pomaceous fruit. Apples are one of the healthiest foods a person can eat. They are high in fiber and vitamin C, and they are also low in calories. They have only a trace of sodium, and no fat or cholesterol.
It's a wonder that we find different colours of apples in the market or stores. There are many lower classifications of apples. There are different shades of red, green and yellow.
Eating an apple a day is healthy but taking all day to eat it may damage the teeth. Experts have recommended that cutting apples into smaller pieces before eating and chewing with the back of teeth can prevent exposing the front teeth from some chemicals. They also recommend rinsing the mouth with water to help wash away the acid and sugars.
Apple seeds are also called pips. According to Tim Sharp, a reference editor, they contain a substance called amygdalin, which can release cyanide, a powerful poison, when it comes into contact with digestive enzymes. Whole seeds will pass through your digestive system relatively untouched, but if you chew the seeds you may be exposed to the toxins. One or two will not be harmful, as the body can handle small doses of cyanide, but if you or a child chews and swallows a lot of seeds, you should seek medical attention immediately.
According to Flores, eating apples in excess will not cause many side effects, but as with anything eaten in excess, apples may contribute to weight gain. Furthermore, apples are acidic, and the juice may damage tooth enamel. A study published in 2011 in the Journal of Dentistry found that eating apples might be up to four times more damaging to teeth than carbonated drinks.
