For Flavonoid Benefits, Don't Peel Apples

Peeled apples are pitted head-to-head against unpeeled apples and spinach in a test of artery function.

Here are my last few apple videos:

Thanks for watching. I hope you’ll join in the evidence-based nutrition revolution!

Dr Michael Greger is a precious gift for humanity. I wish You All the Best.

For years I have started my day every day with an apple 🍎 so healthy and convenient to take with you

Love this format where we can see Dr. Greger rather than just hearing him. I'm all into seeing the information from the studies, but I like this format better.

Good to know that apples are uniquely or especially beneficial. I used to think that apples are over rated, more popular than other fruits in India but don't deserve to be so. I stand corrected.

This puts an axe in the keto camp's 'there's no essential carbohydrate' nonsense. Look how health promoting the 'non essential' lowly apple is! Very interesting clip- thanks for doing the research and posting!

I never peeled apples, and are my daily (often more than one 🙄) fav fruit since early age!😋😋😋

[VoidTakeMe]

Splendid news about my most consumed fruit. It gives me a wide smile to know the apple is somewhat special amongst the fruit population.

I also want to comment on the new video format and respectfully dissent with those that dislike it. I love it and enjoy it very much, so if anyone from your team is watching to gauge the reception of the overhauled presentation, my vote is a resounding yes!

So the key is "skin". Eat the skin for lowering blood pressure and heart disease risk. Got it. Thanks Dr. Greger now imma go tell the world.

I love this video! It’s great how you do all this, whilst working a job as a doctor. You truly have helped me and others. Thank you so much for your hard work!

The beneficial effect of (unpeeled) apples on mortality is remarkable! The power of good nutrition never ceases to amaze me!

[davecornish]

Much better presentation, far easier to watch !

[maureenk]

Yeah!!! Something everyone in my family loves and is good for us!!!!

[daniellugo]

New format is great - like a weather format only its all about nutrition and health

An Apple a day,
keeps Big-Pharma away :)

Are green apples just as good for their skin too?

[tuulonyoutube]

Apples I buy usually covered with candle like thing. So I always peel them. How should I wash off those?

[macrumpton]

Excellent video. I wonder if cooking the apples interferes with their health benefits? Fruit sweetened apple pie anyone?

[SuperAmazingAnt]

Best bang for your buck of what vegetables to buy and how much to eat for regular guy who eats meat?

[teeminator]

I’ve not watched the vid yet but are the wax coatings toxic?
