Apples reduce breast cancer risk

Researchers from Cornell University have found supporting evidence for the adage "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." They found breast tumour incidence fell 17%, 39% and 44% in rats fed the human equivalent of one, three or six apples a day respectively over 24 weeks. Professor David Jacobs, of the University of Minnesota, said there was "extensive evidence that extremely important health aspects of food work through the combination of substances that make up that food, a concept we call food synergy. Risk of many chronic diseases in modern life appears to be reduced by whole foods but not by isolated large doses of selected food compounds. The current work on apples and breast tumours in rats is a perfect example of this principle."
