The healthiest part is the part you eat.

I eat all the apple, including seeds, as I juice it.

Apples are NOT alone on this. At least my mother clamed that almost ALL fruits and vegtables have the main nutrents in the first 1/8 (or less) inch of the outside ( This was back in the '40's ) Even trees have it just under the bark. I'm in my 70's, and have always beleaved it. My inlaws think I'm nuts for eating the skin of my potatoes. Jus tlove to cut a baked potato in two, scoop out the inside, and put butter (not artificial )
in it and eat the whole thing. The fact that I'm in this old and "do not" have any prescriptons from my Doctor suggest I"m on the right track. I do take an asortment of natural (mostly) vitamins / minerals / etc. though. Time will tell for sure. ELS

All the more reason to buy fresh organic produce, or buy locally grown but try to convince the farmer to not use these deadly chemicals.
You can also eat the skin and toss out most of the pulp if you're struggling with Insulin related issues; same as with grapes and other higher glycemic fruit. Give them beta cells a break and in turn they'll reward you a much healthier and longer life ....

CHEMICALS IN AND ON FOOD AND WATER ARE NO LONGER A PROBLEM.

We have Bio Disc. All water and food in our household are treated with Bio Disc to elimate chlorine, pesticides and chemical additives. Systemic chemicals in food do not escape the influence of the Bio Disc. Food that is bio-energised actually doubles in shelf life. Ordinary tap water now becomes saturated with life force energy and all chemicals are eliminated.

Bio Disc is a recent invention By Dr. Ian Lyons in Australia and is quickly sweeping the world. A simple four week program of bio-energised food and water has allowed me to beat the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome that has plagued my life for the past 9 years. Each member of the family have noticed improvements in their personal health too. I have more information for anyone who is interested

In response to A.M.E.'s comment: it is not necessarily that we have become lazy, but are constantly stressed out, both parents have to work, inflation is eating up our money (example: cars that are made by robots now cost about twelve times more than cars that years ago were made by hand and no longer have the quality/durability), and it is the "new, convenient" way to feed ourselves.
As for Junebug's concern about the food at school, send your child with their own lunch, from home.

What about the core of the Apple? It contains roughage and the pips carry the B17 complex which is also active in searching out cancers. So eating the whole Apple is vital to well-being and overall health.
I would be very interested in any comments on this aspect of the role of the Apple on health.

Try eating the apple seeds - great source of B17. However, you have to chew the seeds and eaten with the flesh of the fruit (as with other fruits too) that characteristic "bitter almond" taste is disguised. Tha, I believe, is where the saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". Perhaps we could re-write it"an apple a day keeps you away from the doctor"

Scrape any apple and check out the dirty wax on your knife!

How can this be removed easily so the skin can be safely eaten?

I have purchased organic apples and haven't come accross any rotten or overripe ones as YET (knock wood). But, being organic, they have to be consumed within two or three days, so only buy as much as you'd be able to consume within a couple of days. Dr. Mercola mentions farmers markets. I say beware of them as you would any supermarket, especially the Amish ones. My massage therapist is a naturalist and when he found out my husband was formerly Amish, he recommended that I attend the farmer's market and purchase from the Amish farmers because he believed their produce was more organic and pure. I have found this to be a common misconception amongst many people. My husband's family is Amish and he grew up Amish until he left the order when he was 15 to lead a conventional lifestyle as everyone else. My husband told me that the Amish use just as much chemicals and pesticides as everyone else, if not MORE. They have to compete with the conventional farmers.
Anyway, being a cancer survivor of two forms of cancer, I will definitely eat more apples now. Oh and for those of you who are diabetic, I've heard apples are actually good for you and they help to control blood sugar. They don't spike your blood sugar. I guess it's because of the high fiber content.

Just a question for you: Has anyone ever heard of a drink called Synergy? It is a kombucha drink?

Are there any other 'weirdos' out there, who like me, relish the core of the apple for its healthy seeds?

I used to eat all of the apple, except only the stalk, as I hate to see food wasted, but I recently read that this habit was actually good for me!

So far, no trees have started growing yet in my innards..........
