They build up this "wonderful" product to the point that the reader is on the edge of his seat just hopeing and praying that the product is available and guess what - It just so happens to be! Hummmm....This stuff may be made from apples, but it has a rather FISHY smell to me.

It's probably bogus.

It's probably bogus.

Not necessarily. Procyanidin and other phenolic phytochemicals in apples are really good for you. Don't shell out a bunch of money though, just eat an apple or two a day.

Don't eat the seeds though. Acids in the stomach turn something in the seeds into cyanide (but in small amounts). A large handful of seeds could probably kill an adult. Cyanide is in peach pits too.

This is actually really interesting. Here are some Pubmed links:

Maybe there is something to that Apple Cider Vingar thing or maybe people should be using plain apple cider.
