Did you know that research suggests that apples may reduce the risk of colon cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer? Apples contain a host of antioxidant compounds which may reduce the risk of cancer by preventing DNA damage! Apples also contain Vitamin C and fibres which helps regulate bowel movements. Apples do NOT contain any cholesterol, and in combination with all natural fibres may lead to a decrease in the risk of heart disease. For more information about health and apples please read the Quick Facts and Health pages.

Recently the continent has been shocked by 'evidence' that apples might cause cancer instead of helping prevent it. These alligations are backed up by numerous pressure groups and individuals who believe their families might be at risk. The fact however is that research has been misinterpreted by many individuals. The chances of attracting cancer because of apple consumption are zero. And the chances of attracting cancer by the consumption of apple juice are so tiny that the odd's of winning the lottery twice in a row is higher.

The EAGA has however decided it was in the best interest of the consumer to play it safe, and have since the research has been conducted stopped the pesticide that allegedly might cause cancer. Internal research has brought new facts to the surface, the results can be read in the Research page of the site.
