Apples are a healthy, delicious snack. In fact, as scientists learn more about nutrition, they are finding a lot of truth in the old saying: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away."

An average-size apple has as much or more fiber than a bowl of oatmeal or most brands of cold cereal. One apple has five grams of fiber, supplying 20 percent of the daily fiber recommendation.

Eighty percent of the fiber in an apple is soluble fiber, which may help lower blood cholesterol levels. The remaining fiber in apples is known as insoluble fiber. This type of fiber is thought to help prevent certain types of cancer.

New research suggests naturally occurring chemicals found in apples, called flavonoids, may reduce the risk of heart disease and inhibit the development of certain
cancers.

A study reported in the American Journal of Epidemiology in 1997 linked eating apples with a reduced risk for lung cancer. Researchers studied 9,959 people and found those who ate more apples were less likely to develop lung cancer than those
who ate fewer apples. Researchers isolated Quercetin, a flavonoid found mostly in apples, as the source of the anticancer effect.

Apples are also considered healthy for what they don’t have. An apple
has just 80 calories, and is fat and sodium free.

The Department of Health and Human Services now recommends a minimum of five servings of fruits and vegetables a day for Americans. That advice is based on evidence that people who eat more of these foods have a lower risk of developing several types of cancer.
