Passage Three

Eating an apple a day doesn't keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the a mount of trips you make to the drug store per year. That ' s according to a newstudy that investigates whether there' s any truth in the old saying.

A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School of Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters,consuming at least 149g of rawapple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters. When boh groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug storeper year,the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.

Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. ' Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear touse fewer prescription medications,' the study concludes.

Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, they docontain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.
