Redskins proved to be healthiest apples

AN apple a day has always been meant to keep the doctor away.
But researchers are suggesting that some varieties are better for your health than others - especially if you eat the skin too.
A team of scientists analysed some popular apples.
They found some contained significantly more antioxidants - which can fight everything from heart disease to breast cancer - than others.
Red Delicious was found to be the healthiest, while Empire had the lowest levels.
They also compared the amount of healthy chemicals found in both the skin and flesh of apples and found that the skin contained five times more goodness.
The team now hopes to use the research to breed a "super apple" with higher levels of antioxidants.
"We have pinpointed the individual chemical compounds responsible for antioxidant activity in apples. The findings could lead to the breeding of hybrid apples that pack a heftier antioxidant punch," said Professor Rong Tsao, who led the research in Ontario, Canada.

I think it comes down to personal preference.
If you like more sour things. Granny Smith apples are for you.
I love the taste of a Fuji apple they are crisp hard sweet apples. If you are baking, you cant beat a Mackintosh for eating or baking. There are so many types of apples The five most popular apples in the United States are Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Gala, Fuji and Granny Smith.

Any food that is red is probably going to be healthy for your heart. Although, in the case of apples-eat both! No harm-both are yummo.
