FRUITS   have a high level of sugar.. Depending on your metabolism and your tolerance/reaction to sugar, you may or you may not lose sleep. Also if you have gastrithis I would not recomend. The sugars are acid - become acid in your stomach. \nIf you eat too many you may get a sugar rush...yes it is true.... If you eat them regularly - 1 apple a day before bed is no harm..\nIf you eat too many fruits a day you can actually gain weight.. because of teh sugars.. \nFruits are healthy but not in large quantities and ake care of the mixes you make. \nI would recomend no more than 1 apple before going to sleep.\nBananas contain sodium so if you decide to go bananas :) - kidding - check you tolerance- need for sodium (Na).\n\nBottom Line - If you are planning to make a habit of consuming more fruits check a nutritionist- a real one!.\n\nBest of Luck,\nButzunake

A study reported in a recent issue of the journal Cancer Research suggests that eating a diet full of beans, nuts and cereals may help prevent cancer. This is because these foods contain an active compound that inhibits the growth of cancers.\n\nScientists found the anti-cancer agent called inositol pentakisphosphate at the University College London. The scientist were cited by Reuters as saying the substance, also found in lentils and peas, may direct researchers to develop new drugs against cancer.\n\nThe compound, as explained by the scientists, acts upon an enzyme called phosphoinositide 3-kinase and inhibits tumor growth.\n\nIn the current study, the scientists proved the anti-cancer properties of inositol pentakisphosphate in mice and cancer cells in the laboratory. It was found that this compound killed tumor cells and boosted the effect of drugs used against cancer cells such as ovarian and lung cancer cells.\n\nAccording to the study, the compound is non-toxic, which allows it to be used at high concentrations to aid chemotherapy.\n______________________________________________\nThe second link lists the top ten anti cancer foods as well... I personally think sweet potato on there...but oh well.

Apples will not make you gain weight!  Apples are a "negative calorie" food.  What that means is that your body burns more calories digesting that apple than what your body absorbed from eating it.  Other negative calorie fruits include:\napples\ncranberries\ngrapefruit\nlemons mangos\noranges\npineapple raspberries\nstrawberries\ntangerines \n\nI know the vegies too so if interested in those, just let me know.

Keep the Apple... The doctor will want to be with a healthy person... but go see the doctor anyway.. tell the doctor you ate the apple and you just want a check up to see how well it is working... Hint... preventative health maintenance..

Apples do have a small ammount of caffiene but that should not be enough to cause an addiction. Most likely your body is craving nutients in the apple that you don't get enough of in your other foods.

I don't know if they diet works on its own, but it will work in combination with other healthy practices (eating smaller portions and exercise!) The three apple a day diet works on the premise that if you consume an apple before each meal you will filling youself with something that is healthy and low in fat and in turn eat less during your meal.  Apples are also natural diuretics, so it may help to keep you regular- but three probably wouldnt have too much of an impact on your system. Apples are very healthy and having having three a day would be completely safe!

Apples are better.  Bananas have some, but not as much fiber as apples.

Not really, not including eating enough of it to break your stomach open. There are thousands of fruitarians in the U.S. who eat only fruit. This includes hard fruits like nuts, seeds and beans. See this site to learn more (under "diet") about fruit and what MD says it is the healthiest food to eat. Plus why Andrew Weil MD and Am. Diabetes Assoc. think that it is good.\n\nhttp://phifoundation.org

no\n\nbreast cancer is a disease that is caused by hormones stimulating the growth of cancerous cells in breast tissue. sometimes changes in DNA in the normal breast tissue can also cause cancer.\n\nthis horrible disease is largely genetic too-so if someone if your family had it-there is a chance you can get it too.\n\nwhat type of bra you where has nothing to do with it. \n\ncertain types of foods can help reduce your risk of getting it though. foods that are soy-rich,broccoli,spinach,and green tea are some of the things that can help reduce your risk...

OMG!!!!!!!!  They definitely cause cancer.  Do some research on the internet and then let us know what you think.  I'm pretty sure you'll quit going.

Not at all, especially if you're eating whole fruits - with peel and all. So, dont peel apples, eat oranges, avoid bananas and tropical fruits (their fructose content is higher than ordinary, colder climate fruits - oh, wait, you can eat mangoes because their fibre content is akin to eating bark of the tree). Avoid juices, especially those labelled "smooth" which means that the pulp (therefore all fibre) has been removed. Eating fruit does elevate your blood sugar so eat them in moderation while dieting. They still provide vitamins and minerals vital to the proper functioning of the body - without which you'll slow down your metabolism and not loose weight at all

No. The ONLY proven methods to prevent cancer are to NOT do things that cause it (smoke, drink, have prolonged exposure to UV rays, etc.). There's tons of "theories" and "suggestions" but none are going to save you. You could eat all the broccoli and apple seeds in the world, but if you smoke a carton of cigarettes a day, you're gonna get cancer.
