Answer 1

Oranges because they contain high amounts of vitamin C.
High intakes of vitamin C help you combat colds and other viruses.
It also prevents scurvy from re-occurring.

Answer 2

The healthiest fruit is the Ash Gourd. You'll find it at your local Asian green grocer. It's like a pumpkin, but whitish grey on the outside, and when u run your finger along it it's coated with an ash like substance, from which it gets it's name. Extremely nutritious and high in vitamins.

But between the two i.e.watermelon or apple i would have to go with the apple. Higher vitamin content.

I think an apple is the healthiest because on the Today show they were talking about fruits and the expert said apples were one of the best.

I dissagree with the following fruits being the healthiest:
