an apple a day keeps the doctor away  too.

Not really appropriate for a general discussion forum, but this common generalization has now been seriously challenged by the scientific community, and the results are not looking particularly encouraging in their support of this popular theory.

Like any similar gross generalization, there are many exceptions.

I happen to be one of those exceptions, as I unable to eat any fruit (including apples) due to a chronic yeast infection and irritable bowel symptoms.

So in my case at least an apple a day would have unpleasant and malodorous consequences both for myself and anyone close to me, and more than one piece of fruit per day would probably have me regularly at the doctor's surgery or in hospital.  

There is a three page article at the following web address which effectively debunks this popular myth, as it appears to be claiming that simply eating an apple per day will give you perfect health, which honestly is complete nonsense if you think more about it.

Fruit is one of the five major food groups from each of which the average person should select one or two items every day as part of a healthy balanced diet, but only if there are no contraindications or underlying factors which could mean that this practice harms the patient's health instead of improving it.
