Evolution is a survival game. We and the apple tree evolved together for
millions of years. For all that time we carefully investigated our mutual
needs. The apple tree wants us to look after his chidren : the seeds inside
the apple. The apple tree invented a number of things to persuade us to eat
the the apple. We have only discovered a little fraction of it. I only
remember that apples contain :
- Antioxidants, very good for you
- Flavonoids, very good for you
- Fiber, very good for you
- A lot of vitamis essential for your survival
- Fruit sugars with a lot of energy, good for you if you move your muscles
High Corn Fructose Sirup is made in a chemical plant
It is made by people who's leaders are only interested in 1 thing :
- How big is my bonus this year
They don't care about your health, they don't care about your pension or
your house either
So eat HCFS and you will die
Feed it to rodents and the become diabetic
If food is scarce and you have an apple tree you survive on apples alone
An Apple is much more than fructose ... :)
