UC-Davis
Reports New Apple Heart Health Benefits



Researchers
at the University of California, Davis Medical Center recently reported
that adults who added apples and apple juice to their diet reduced
an important marker for heart disease in only a few weeks. The UC-Davis
study showed that daily consumption of two apples or 12 ounces of
apple juice reduced oxidation of the "bad" low-density
lipoproteins (LDL) in healthy men and women. The UC-Davis researchers
note that their findings in this clinical study are similar to previously-published
studies on tea and red wine that reported a similar reduction of
oxidation.
