People eat apples as a normal part of the diet or drink apple juice. Apples are also used as medicine. Apples are used to control diarrhea or constipation; and for the softening, passage, and collection of gallstones. They may also be used to prevent cancer, especially lung cancer. Other uses include treating cancer, diabetes, dysentery, fever, heart problems, warts, and a vitamin C-deficiency condition called scurvy. Some people also use apples for weight loss and cleaning their teeth. They may also be used to help with Alzheimer's disease and improving muscle strength. These benefits all go with the old saying: "An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away". (There may be insufficient evidence so far to prove that apples help with the above complaints but they are good for you and are tasty.)
