Crunch an Apple and Bust Breast Cancer

How do ya like them apples?

An apple a day keeps the ladies perky.

Til' now, you probably thought breasts and apples went together like Chris Brown and Jay-Z. But you were wrong. Hey, sometimes it happens and you just gotta suck it up and learn something new.

Researchers found that rats with tumors who were fed the human equivalent of one apple per day were 57% less likely to develop cancer. And better yet, the more apples our hairy little friends were given, the more adenocarcinoma tumors, a leading cause of breast cancer, were prevented.

"We not only observed that the treated animals had fewer tumours, but the tumours were smaller, less malignant and grew more slowly compared with the tumours in untreated rats," says Professor Rui Hai Liu of Cornell University's Institute for Comparative and Environmental Toxicology.

So why apples? Docs say it's because they're full of antioxidants and flavonoids.

Flavonoids, also found in dark chocolate, are especially helpful because they're thought to prevent free radicals from wreaking havoc on DNA.

So snack on a red one, a green one, or a yellow one daily and keep BC at bay!
