    - just eat them like you would treat everything else- eat them if you like them and don't eat to much of it.

    What bad things could possibly be said about apples?

    How did we get to the point where fruit is demonised. :noway:

    No disrespect to you OP, because the volume of misinformation makes it difficult to know the truth.

    Apples are a natural healthy product. They contain natural fructose, but that is not in any way a bad thing. As long as you count the calories as you do everything else, you'll be fine.

    About 80 each, in answer your next question ;-)

    If it fits into your calories for the day and you want one, have it. If you had some condition that made apples bad for you (like a blood sugar problem, for example), you would already know that you can't have it. Otherwise, have the apple.

    Apples are a wonderul thing to eat - I eat one nearly every day. Try not to eat for a couple of hours before bedtime. Your body needs to be recharging and not digesting food.

    Nope, they are good. As long as you brush your teeth after, because, you know, fruit sugars sitting in your mouth all night, not a great idea :D

    I have a blood sugar problem and eat about 4-5 apples a week :huh:

    Can I eat 4-5 in a row? Nope. It's all about moderation.

    I don't see how it could be bad. They're normally low in calories (depending on size) and are a good source of fiber (not excellent but good), plus they help regulate blood sugar. I will snack on an apple almost every evening.

    Exactly. You know when you can and can't have things because you know you have a blood sugar problem. I was trying to imply that if she can have it because there's nothing telling her she can't, but I guess that didn't come across.

    Unless you get an anaphylactic reaction to apples (like my daughter and husband), I think they are a great snack.
