Does an apple a day really keep the doctor away?

[Circushowcowboy]

I thought they’d be more pro apples

[purplepoppy]

No. It was originally a welsh saying "eat an apple on going to bed and you'll keep the doctor from earning his bread." The modern saying comes from the prohibition era in America when apple growers lost the hard cider market. Do encourage people to eat them they rephrased it to "an apple a day keeps the doctor away"

Well how about them apples

[ElenaLena]

I don’t like apples that much.. I hate apple juice 😄

I would eat green apples only with a bit of salt and that’s it..🍏

[Circushowcowboy]

Maybe you’re a doctor too! 😱

Lols I haven’t had apple juice in decades probably, but I’ll still have some good old apple sauce now and then

So doctors are all Google fans is what you’re saying

[NathanDavis]

I do hear most hospitals still prefer Windows 7...

I do miss it as well

I kinda doubt it, unless you are actually throwing apples at the doctor :P

[Circushowcowboy]

Might be a fun pastime

Like apple juice. Hate eating apples. As for keeping doctors away? That seems unlikely.

[AgentG111]

If you hit them with it yes.

[Circushowcowboy]

So that’s where the phrase came from
