An apple a day keeps a doctor away. Have you ever heard anyone say this? Do you think if people eat one or two apples a day they won’t get sick? Last year some scientists wanted to find out if this old saying is true. They divided a college class into two groups. The first group ate 2 apples a day. The second group didn’t eat apples. After six months they added up the times the young people got sick. The apple eaters turned out to be healthier than those who hadn’t eaten apples. It seemed to show that an apple a day does keep people healthy.
