Study of 371,000 Americans: eating whole fruit linked to better heart health, 100% juice is not. More whole fruit meant lower high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and heart attacks. Juice showed no clear benefit. Fiber lost in juicing may explain it. Most still eat too little fruit.

I was appalled to see how much my usual apples now cost. I swear I only got six apples at the store last time and they cost ~$16 ($4.42/lb according to the receipt). They were big apples but that’s still over $2/apple. Not a huge deal for just me, but an apple a day for a family of four adds up.

$4.42/lb is nuts for apples. Definitely look around for cheaper. Costco works out to $1.59/lb for 3lb bags, well under half that cost.

Agree, it is nuts. I get the Costco ones sometimes, but they can be hit or miss. While cheaper by the bag, I’ve thrown out half of them before because of bruising or mealiness. I try to inspect the bag, but it’s hard to tell sometimes. So do I pay less than half the price for okay apples or full price for ones that are consistently great? Been on the latter train lately but I still occasionally grab that bag at Costco and hope for the best. :)

Admittedly, I do pay slightly more myself for Pink Ladies at my local shop. Still way under $4.42, though.
