Apple update #1

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.computer.ultima.dragons (More info?)

So the first apples I tried after declaring my intentions of trying more
varieties was Ida Red. I bought an 8lb bag and the first one I ate wasn't
very good (almost tasteless) so I was a little nervous, but every one
since then has been great. Not too sweet, nice colour, reasonably crisp.

I give it a B+.

I also read or heard that Red Delicious apples have the highest
anti-oxidant levels by far - so it'll probably be a good idea to mix in a
bag of them every once in a while too.

Or just eat some tomatoes with your dinner.

You know I probably would be okay with almost any apple cut into
quarters (well more like eigths) and with peanut butter on them, just
like mom used to make. I should really do that.

I recall that being an anti-oxidant in the test tube does not in
anyway guarantee that something will improve longevity or health. I
recall reading that when anti-oxidants were first tested when an
oxidative theory of aging was put forward the lab animals fed
anti-oxidants did not see any prolonging of life. It would not be
suprising that some anti-oxidants have an associated beneficial
affects while others do not, or even that their beneficial effects
depend on the form they are ingested in, biology is annoyingly complex
like that.

In any case fresh fruits and vegetables are an important part of a
healthy diet.

Tomatoes are quite often part of dinner, but if cooking them destroys
their goodness then that wouldn't work out so well. Of course I've heard
that cooking food (to moderate temperatures anyway) actually aid in the
release of nutrients, even if some of them are destroyed there's a net
increase.

I had a friend down the street who's mother used to salt apple slices. I
don't know if she did it for taste or to keep them from turning brown, but
I never ate apples there.

They also kept their apples in the fridge, and I always thought they were
too cold, but now that's how I store apples.

Yeah, that's often true about so many food additives/vitamins/minerals -
take iron, there are so many varieties of iron but some are virtually
worthless as a bioavailable source (and those tend to be the ones added to
foods to increase iron levels to make the label look good).

Some people live on just fresh fruits and vegetables.

Keep them in the fridge, take them out and carry them to work with you,
and they'll be just right by lunch-time. S'what I do.

If you have a liquid nitrogen fridge, you won't even need a knife to cut
them. Just tap them on the desk into nice splinters. Then remove the
splinters from your frozen, impaled hand and enjoy! Bonded Ape Tight!

Hmm, apparently that may not be good for menstruation (
http://outreach.missouri.edu/hesnutrnews/99-3/99-3real.htm ), not so
much an issue for half the population. Apparently not tha many studies
on it though (
http://www.living-foods.com/articles/scientificliterature.html ). I
seem to recall a suggestion that it leaves spending a much longer
amount of time ingesting your food.

Actually now I prefer apples cold. I always used to like water cold, now
I've grown used to it at room temperature. Of course with two kids now I
don't get to eat much hot food when it's hot either.
