"If you rotate your holographic apple, it would look exactly as though you were turning a real apple in your hand. Move the top of the image toward you, and the apple's stem comes into view; move the top away from you far enough and you'll see the bottom of the apple. It is important to remember that a hologram is really nothing more than a display of the intensity of the light—a record of the photons?given off by an object or scene. Bioluminescence is the light emitted by living organisms; it is the collective light given off by individual "bio-photons." - Peter h.

"You have a simple choice: an apple or a slice of Cheddar cheese. Both provide 100 calories, but you'll swallow the cheese in a bite or two, whereas the apple will take you a while to eat. What do you think will happen if you opt for the cheese? Will you stop at just one slice? Probably not. When foods pack lots of calories in a small space, as cheese does, it's easy to overeat. Because an apple takes longer to eat, your brain has time to register fullness. The apple's fiber and water also stimulate stretch receptors in the stomach more quickly." - David L. Katz, Catherine S. Katz, Dr. David Katz's Flavor-Full Diet: Use Your Tastebuds to Lose Pounds and Inches with this Scientifically Proven Plan (Get the book.)

"When we chew the apple, we are literally speeding up the reaction we have watched in our kitchen fruit bowl. Add to this the 98-degree temperature inside our mouths, the naturally occurring amylases in our saliva, and the water contained in the apple, and you now have an environment perfectly suited to induce the greatest food enzyme activity possible. The enzymes that once assisted in keeping the apple alive now serve as digestive enzymes, and they take the burden of digestion off our body." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Industry and government officials tried to reassure the public that hardly any growers were using Alar, and that apples and apple products didn't contain any residues of the chemical—claims that were quickly disproven in independent testing by Consumers Union.30 Many people reacted to the controversy by throwing apples and apple juice down the kitchen sink. apple sales plummeted. Alar's manufacturer (Uniroyal) took the chemical off the market, although it vehemently defended Alar as being "perfectly safe," and warned that the loss of Alar would seriously affect apple yields (it didn't)." - Michael F.

"The Benefits of apple Cider Vinegar From the time he was three years old, I've poured half a cup of apple cider vinegar into Wyatt's bath. apple cider vinegar is extremely therapeutic. It's not only a great cleanser and detoxifier, but it also provides a number of different health benefits, like boosting children's moods and helping them relax. Wyatt has faced a lot of emotional ups and downs throughout his years at the ranch. Many kids who've become his friends have later died of cancer, which has been devastating for him. Taking long baths has helped him relax and deal with his emotions." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!)

"The enzymes that once assisted in keeping the apple alive now serve as digestive enzymes, and they take the burden of digestion off our body. The pancreas will still secrete enzymes to assist in the delivery of the nutrients from the apple to our cells, but far fewer are needed than if the apple had no active enzymes. All raw vegetables and fruits contain the necessary active enzymes to break down the proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in those particular foods, lessening the burden on our digestive systems." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Apples (Mains domestica) Pectin, which apple peels are packed with, is a common antidiarrhea remedy and a prime ingredient in over-the-counter medications such as Kaopectate. Pectin is a soluble fiber that adds bulk to watery stools. Just make applesauce or bake an apple with the peel on (preferably using organic apples). Stay away from apple juice, however,- it tends to further loosen stools. Blackberry and Raspberry (Rufous spp.) The roots and leaves of both berry plants act as astringents to help relieve diarrhea." - Linda B. White, M.D., The Herbal Drugstore (Get the book.)

"Apples are also eaten cooked, in pies, applesauce, apple butter and jellies, or baked, candied or made into chutney. They are often sliced and dried. A delicious, nutritious juice can be extracted by pressure from different varieties. Sour apples are crushed and fermented into hard cider. In Europe, the mash (or the cider itself) is distilled to yield alcohol ("Calvados" in Normandy, France), or left in contact with the air to produce apple cider vinegar (also in America). Green apples can be pickled." - Francois Couplan, Ph.D., The Encyclopedia of Edible Plants of North America (Get the book.)

"I tease my patients about an apple a day," she says."l tell them that statement probably refers to constipation." No surprise. Medically, eating apples makes sense—they're a good source of fiber. Apples and other high-fiber fruits and vegetables are best for constipation, because the sugars in apples are harder for the body to digest.And what the body can't break down, it pushes out. So apples are a natural laxative. Which is why you shouldn't go overboard. "Eat one apple a day, not four or five," says Dr.Wilson, so you don't get diarrhea." - Prevention Magazine Health Books, The Doctors Book of Home Remedies for Women: Women Doctors Reveal over 2,000 Self-Help Tips on the Health Problems That Concern Women the Most (Get the book.)

"Remember, also, that "apples" means apple in any form. At this meal, the patient can have whole apples, apple juice, applesauce, and so forth, provided that the dish to be consumed contains nothing else. If anything else is added, it must be counted as a separate food. In other words,'if the person sprinkles cinnamon on top of the applesauce, this counts as an item in the Rotary Diversified Diet, and it must be eaten in accordance with the rules." - Theron G. Randolph, An Alternative Approach to Allergies (Get the book.)

"Eat a raw organic apple a day. Eat a fresh salad with lunch and dinner consisting of raw organic vegetables. This will add living enzymes. This is a good start. Now let me give you some additional suggestions to help with acid reflux. 1. Raw apple cider vinegar. Take one tablespoon right before you eat each meal. This should eliminate any acid reflux. If you are feeling any heartburn, indigestion, or "acid reflux," take a spoonful of raw apple cider vinegar. Make sure it's raw and organic. 2." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Even eating a whole apple is better that eating the apple sauce since the heat and air exposure destroys the nutrients." "What is the difference between diets of elderly people and younger people? " Kevin L. Snead: "There is definitely a big difference. Today's children are grown up on MacDonald's and all the other fast food while the elderly people are still eating lots of vegetables and arresting their intake of meat." "In theory, should elderly people elect a special nutrition in relation to the younger generation?

"In lab studies, researchers at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, found that apple extract given together with apple skin worked better to prevent substances that protect against a variety of conditions and chronic diseases, including cancer, coronary heart disease, and cataracts. These nutrients are literally powerhouses of protection. And because there is so much evidence that the real benefit comes from the mix of nutrients you can only get by eating fruits and vegetables in their whole form, these foods are the epitome of food synergy!" - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "You know the answer to this-a whole apple cut into wedges is more satisfying than pureed apples or fiber-free juice. The same can be said about oranges and orange juice or grapes and grape juice. So remember to choose your fruits and vegetables with this in mind-the less processed the better. people who ate diets high in fruits and vegetables, compared with people who ate only a few fruits and vegetables." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

All raw vegetables and fruits contain the necessary active enzymes to break down the proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in those particular foods, lessening the burden on our digestive systems. However, raw food manifests only enough enzymes to digest itself, not enough to be stored in the body for later use or to assist in breaking down other foods consumed with it that may be void of enzymes." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Applesauce causes a lower glucose and insulin response than apple juice. • apple juice causes a lower glucose and insulin response than apple-juice concentrate. Each step in processing changes the carbohydrate into a form with a higher glycemic index—one that more rapidly raises glucose and insulin levels higher and higher. The apple—the most natural, intact form of the fruit we can eat—is best in terms of preventing insulin resistance because it is richest in fiber, which slows the entry of glucose into the bloodstream." - Jack Challem, Burton Berkson, Melissa Diane Smith, Syndrome X: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Insulin Resistance (Get the book.)

"We may perceive some shadows of these Forms, as when we place an apple on the table, and then another apple, and then see that there are two apples. But the apples exhibit 'one-ness' and 'two-ness' (and, for that matter, 'apple-ness') only imperfectly. They are not perfectly identical, so there are never really two of anything on the table. It might be objected that the number two could also be represented by there being two different things on the table." - David Deutsch, The Fabric of Reality: The Science of Parallel Universes and Its Implications (Get the book.)

"Move the top of the image toward you, and the apple's stem comes into view; move the top away from you far enough and you'll see the bottom of the apple.

"Alar is a plant growth regulator registered in 1963 and used, until recently, on almost half of the U.S. apple crop. Treated with daminozide, apples redden more deeply and uniformly, ripen more slowly, and are less likely to drop from trees, making harvesting easier. This chemical, which causes five types of cancer in toxicity tests, breaks down into a potent carcinogen when apples are processed into products like applesauce and apple juice. Like hundreds of pesticides, Alar is an older pesticide that has not come under the more recent, stricter review process for registering pesticides." - H. Patricia Hynes, Earth Right (Get the book.)
