SA: An apple a day does keep the doctor away-report

A new health report says an apple a day really does keep the doctor away.

The Apple Report .. a comprehensive review of scientific research published over the
past 10 years .. says apples reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers .. two
of the biggest causes of death in Australia.

Apples also are associated with asthma protection .. can reduce the risk of type two
diabetes .. and help with weight loss.

The report says apples have the highest antioxidant content of all Australia's popular
fruits .. but Australians .. on average .. eat just one apple a week.
