Senior Health Article Copyrighted by Diet Bites

The apple is the most disputed fruit on the planet. Was it really the questionable fruit in the Garden of Eden? And does an apple a day really keep the doctor away?

Well - it just might! And an apple a day for good health certainly can't hurt. The apple is an amazing piece of fruit containing about 100 calories for a medium-sized apple. And talk about variety!
