Another benefit from Apple a day English proverb "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" ("Eat in day on Apple – and the doctor will be unnecessary") has received another confirmation.





Scientists from the University of Kaiserslautern (Germany) have found that Apple pectin and Apple juice contain significant amounts of such short-chain fatty acids like butyrate. The latter not only maintains the good condition of the tissue of the colon, but, as the researchers found, prevents the development of colon cancer by blocking enzymes that promote tumor development.

Cancer of the colon and rectum is the fourth most common form of cancer in the world. He noted in 12.6% of all cancer patients men and 14.1% of women in Western countries.
