How much is much? I think apple is a fruit that can help in getting rid of some of the health related problems. As usual there is a limitation to every thing and so is with apple also but the question is 'how much is really much' I don't think any one can eat 'too much'.

It may be true, it may be not. It depends. The phrase I think must not be taken literally. I think the apple must represent all of the fruits that contains a lot of vitamins and nutrients and the doctor must represent the sickness. So for me, apple doesn't represent only one fruit. In order to be healthy, we should eat a variety. Because the variety of nutrients and vitamins will keep sickness and illnesses away. Do you think eating only the apple or only the same vitamins and nutrients a day can make you healthy? No. Because different fruits contain different nutrients and eating only one kind of fruit prevents you from getting the other nutrients that the other fruits contains. It takes varieties of vitamins and nutrients to become healthy.
