A new study shows the bulk of apples' anticancer properties lie in the peel.
Researchers analyzed the chemical composition of apple peels and identified a group of phytochemicals that proved potent against at least three different types of human cancer cells: breast, colon, and liver.
Countless studies have supported the old adage "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" by showing a diet rich in fruits and vegetables reduces the risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and a host of other chronic diseases.
But note that while drinking several cups of green tea a day may have health benefits, taking very large doses in pills can cause liver and bladder damage.
