The apple has been associated with many home remedies, it's a great thing to have as a part of your diet. But CANCER? This is pretty odd. Just another reason to eat apples

The apple may be healthy in and of itself, but what about the chemicals they are sprayed with in order to look "shiny?" This, I am sure, neutralizes any healthy benefits the apple may give.
