I was told as a kid that an apple was not only good for you but also helps clean your teeth is this true?
Question:
Answers:
Well, technically, eating Any solid food helps clean your teeth. The abrasion might rub off some food particles. In any case, the sugar left behind on your teeth from an apple is very attractive to bacteria and any that you wiped off by biting the apple will grow back pretty darn quick (about 24 hours).
As for being good for you? Apples are fruit. They are very high in sugar and pretty low in vitamins. One way to tell if a fruit is healthful is to look at its color: the more vibrant the color, the better it is for you. Apples may seem vibrantly reed or green but that's just their skin. Inside, they are a dull white. Compare that to strawberries (pink all the way through) or oranges (solid orange, naturally).
A medium apple has 72 calories, no fat, 17 grams of carbs and 3 grams of fiber. It's a whole lot better than a candy bar but worse than vegetables.
