I think apples are good for you and contain many antitoxidants. Other than that I suppose any fruit is better than none , but you could throw it at an annoying Dr if that made you feel better lol.

All rhymes like this started for some reason . I do believe there is some truth behind this one as eating apples is healthy . I am not sure that they would truely keep the doctor away forever but healthy eating will prevent you from getting sick as often therefore keeping the doctor away for a little while .

You can say the same thing about banana, apricot and many other fruits. All fruits are good for you. To stay healthy you need to eat 5 servings per day.

It is not just a rhyming phrase. Apple is really a healthy food. It contains a lot of fiber which makes lower your blood cholesterol and blood glucose.
