Apple Juice Part 3

If you have a good memory (eat your apples!) you may recall that those researchers believe the benefits are largely due to quercetins. The peel of the apple is especially rich in quercetins, so you don’t want to peel your apple. You can also take quercetin as a tablet or capsule.

If you choose to eat the fruit or drink the juice – as I recommend -- keep in mind that apples are among the most heavily sprayed, most pesticide-contaminated crops, so do make sure you choose organic!

One study showed that organic apples had 79% more quercetin than did conventionally grown apples. So with organic apples you not only avoid the poisons, you also get more of the nutrients.
