“Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” So says a new study that does indicate, however, that apple eaters tend to use fewer prescriptions than their non-apple eating counterparts. Forget the studies. My dad has eaten an apple (without the peel) every night after dinner since I was a kid. He’s now 90 and currently deciding what he wants to do after work: Go on a walk, play golf, swim, or work out.
