 If you cut up that hologram, instead of getting bits and pieces of the apple image, you get many complete apple images, only each apple is smaller and a bit less clear than the original. If you rotate your holographic apple, it would look exactly as though you were turning a real apple in your hand. Move the top of the image toward you, and the apple's stem comes into view; move the top away from you far enough and you'll see the bottom of the apple.
It is important to remember that a hologram is really nothing more than a display of the intensity of the light—a record of the photons? |

 How do you decide what's better: A conventional apple grown locally with chemical pesticides, or an organic apple from another continent?
This is a common conundrum among consumers: How do you decide which grocery products are best for not just your own personal health, but also the health of the planet? It's a more complex decision than it might first seem. For one thing, much of the information necessary to make an informed decision simply isn't available to consumers. |

 That would make apple growers, who sponsored the above study, very happy. The problem is that the study used extracts of whole apples, not apples themselves. Beneficial nutrients are extracted from apples usually via alcohol extraction methods. The fermentation by alcohol solubilizes, withdraws and concentrates the fruit, vegetable or herbal ingredients. That, in reality, is quite different than eating whole apples.
Which is more healthful: soybeans or soybean paste soup? |

 One woman called state police to chase down a school bus to confiscate her child's apple.4 School systems across the country, in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Chicago, among others, stopped serving apples and apple products. According to John Rice, former chairman of the U.S. apple Association, the apple industry took an economic walloping, losing over $250 million.5 Finally, in response to the public outcry, the production and use of Alar came to a halt in June of 1989.3
The Alar story is not uncommon. |

| Mexico, most Americans will choose the $1 apple (and in doing so, they are in fact continuing to vote for the very illegal immigration they claim to oppose).
Challenging to consumers
Making an informed produce purchasing decision at the grocery store, it turns out, is nearly impossible these days. There's no way to know where the food came from, what soils it was grown in, the immigration status of those who harvested it, and which chemicals were used on it. |
| Because beyond the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients in the apple, the water impacts your body, mind and spirit more than anything else. And one of the reasons we see so much obesity in America today is because people are eating empty, lifeless food products that provide only calories but no energetic nourishment. The food is mostly an empty shell, lifeless and devoid of positive vibration (and then they cook it, irradiate it and process it even more to give it shelf life!). |

 If we put that same apple in an apple pie or in apple sauce, the enzymes in it would be of no use to us digestively. When we eat cooked apples, the digestive system has to produce all of the enzymes needed to digest the cooked food.
THE DIETARY KEYS TO UNLOCKING GOOD HEALTH
So to lessen the burden on the digestive system and release potential energy for optimal functioning of all of the other systems, what is the ideal diet? Ideally, we would eat nutritionally healthy raw foods frequently and in small quantities. We would also limit calorie intake to under two thousand calories a day. |

| The existence of that apple is based on numerous inputs that may be highly detrimental to the health of the planet as a whole: The burning of fossil fuels for farming and transportation, the use of chemical pesticides that wash downstream and poison aquatic ecosystems, the use of artificial fertilizers that lack real soil nutrition, the destruction of microbial life in agricultural soils, the loss of biodiversity and the subsequent decline in wildlife populations, and so on. |

 Some companies are selling products primarily made with apple juice and grape juice as pomegranate juice."
To create the free consumer guide, Adams reviewed pomegranate juice product ingredients, comparing them to the claims implied by the pictures and words on the front labels of such products. Some products made primarily with apple juice show no apples at all on the front label, instead depicting pomegranates and blueberries while claiming "100% Juice!" in big letters. |

 Eat at least an apple a day to help keep breast cancer away? In a recent lab study at Cornell, researchers found that breast tumor incidence was reduced by 17 percent when rats were fed the human equivalent of one apple a day over 24 weeks and 39 percent when fed the human equivalent of three a day.
ENJOY APPLES AT THEIR BEST
Fruits and vegetables are a great boost to nutrition and can be a valuable ally in the battle to lose or maintain ideal weight. But does it matter how they are processed and prepared? |
| Simple phenolics and flavonoids represent the majority of antioxidant activity found in apples, and it's the phenolics in apple peel specifically that account for the majority of the antioxidant and antiproliferating activity. Apples offer a powerful assortment of phytochemicals, including quercetin, catechin, phloridzin, and chlorogenic acid. Procyaniclins, also found in high concentrations in red wine, grapes, cocoa, and cranberries, are thought to have a protective effect on the vascular system. |

 You've all heard phrases like, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," or "You are what you eat." Both of these phrases have a foundation in reality. For example, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" suggests that people should eat fresh produce and raw foods. An apple is a raw, living food. This phrase also suggests that an apple should be consumed every single day. In other words, we should live on these foods. They should be a regular part of our lifestyle. |

| The enzymes that once assisted in keeping the apple alive now serve as digestive enzymes, and they take the burden of digestion off our body. The pancreas will still secrete enzymes to assist in the delivery of the nutrients from the apple to our cells, but far fewer are needed than if the apple had no active enzymes.
All raw vegetables and fruits contain the necessary active enzymes to break down the proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in those particular foods, lessening the burden on our digestive systems. |

 Apples (Mains domestica)
Pectin, which apple peels are packed with, is a common antidiarrhea remedy and a prime ingredient in over-the-counter medications such as Kaopectate. Pectin is a soluble fiber that adds bulk to watery stools. Just make applesauce or bake an apple with the peel on (preferably using organic apples). Stay away from apple juice, however,- it tends to further loosen stools.
Blackberry and Raspberry (Rufous spp.)
The roots and leaves of both berry plants act as astringents to help relieve diarrhea. |

 What I really do like, however, is their Chocolate Coated Wild Ice Cream & apple Bananas. Now, before you go ape nuts crazy over how great this name sounds, please remember that there's no ice cream here. It's just part of the name of the banana species, which is called Wild Ice Cream & apple Bananas because if you have a really good imagination, they sort of taste like ice cream and apples. Dip 'em in chocolate and, needless to say, they're extremely delicious. I enjoyed these so much that I went back to Empowered Foods and bought more! |

| When we chew the apple, we are literally speeding up the reaction we have watched in our kitchen fruit bowl. Add to this the 98-degree temperature inside our mouths, the naturally occurring amylases in our saliva, and the water contained in the apple, and you now have an environment perfectly suited to induce the greatest food enzyme activity possible. The enzymes that once assisted in keeping the apple alive now serve as digestive enzymes, and they take the burden of digestion off our body. |

| Alar is a plant growth regulator registered in 1963 and used, until recently, on almost half of the U.S. apple crop. Treated with daminozide, apples redden more deeply and uniformly, ripen more slowly, and are less likely to drop from trees, making harvesting easier. This chemical, which causes five types of cancer in toxicity tests, breaks down into a potent carcinogen when apples are processed into products like applesauce and apple juice. Like hundreds of pesticides, Alar is an older pesticide that has not come under the more recent, stricter review process for registering pesticides. |

 This is also a good reason to go with the higher-quality pomegranate juices mentioned here rather than low-quality juice blends made with apple juice or grape juice (both of which are high on the glycemic index scale). Pure pomegranate juice is far better for your blood sugar than a blend of apple juice or grape juice.
More details on the plastics question
There is increasing concern today about the health effects of eating foods or drinking liquids packaged in plastic. Since most pomegranate juices are packaged in plastic bottles, this is a reasonable concern. |

| Some products made primarily with apple juice show no apples at all on the front label, instead depicting pomegranates and blueberries while claiming "100% Juice!" in big letters. "This misleads consumers into thinking these products are one hundred percent pomegranate juice," explained Adams, "When in fact, they may only be five or ten percent pomegranate juice."
Some pomegranate juice products were found to be made with high fructose corn syrup or sugar. These were blended with water, then color enhanced with purple carrot extract to make them appear like more substantial juice products. |

 With Newton's help, he managed to amass a great fortune, and in gratitude to Sir Isaac, he bought an entire room from Newton's last residence in London as well as an apple tree that is a descendant of the famous tree at Newton's family home in Lincolnshire. Legend has it that the fall of an apple from that tree inspired Newton to discover the law of gravity. And gravity, as you might have guessed, was a paramount theme in Babson's universe.
Babson's obsession with gravity dates back to his childhood, when his sister drowned in a river. |

An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but if you're shaped like an apple, with extra weight around the midsection, you'll want to keep your doctor around. This body type is medically known as central or visceral adiposity or popularly as beer- or potbelly. Belly fat actually releases dangerous fatty acids that build up in the liver. This can hamper the body's metabolization of sugar and raise the risk of diabetes. |
