Apple juice is heart healthy

Prepared Foods, June, 2001

Apple juice is heart healthy, according to new research at University of California at Davis. The clinical research, published in the winter edition of Journal of Medicinal Food, found that apple juice and apples had similar heart-health effects as red wine and tea. A 12-week study with 25 healthy adults found that 12 ounces of 100% apple juice or two fresh apples per day slowed oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which when oxidized, tends to clog arteries and increase the risk of heart disease.
