An Apple a Day May Keep the Pharmacist Away

An Apple a Day May Keep the Pharmacist Away

September 8, 2022 By Paul

For a long time, people have been told that an apple a day will keep the doctor away. The US Apple Association ran with this, investing a great deal of money to promote it. Based on a study of 8,000 people, who were asked about their visits to medical providers, and their apple eating habits, it was determined that eating an apple a day didn’t reduce visits to the doctor. But it did show that people who ate apples every day did end up on fewer medications.

Key Takeaways:

  • Research comparing daily apple eaters to non-apple eaters found no difference in doctor visits or hospitalization.
  • However, the study did find that apple eating was associated with lower usage of prescription pharmaceuticals.
  • Apples perform similarly to statins for stroke and heart attack mortality, but are actually more expensive.

“The message has been “promoted by the lay media and powerful special interest groups, including the US Apple Association”—a force so powerful that it spent a whopping $7,000 lobbying politicians during the 2017-18 election cycle.”
