| Apple Juice, Nutrition values AND BENEFITS updated on January 10, 2007. |
Dr. Jan Oszmianski at the Agricultural University of Wroclaw
found that cloudy apple juices contain much more
antioxidant than clear. Cloudy apple juice contained up to
four times the level of polyphenols. Polyphenols are
antioxidant plant compounds. Cloudy juice from Champion
apples turned out to be the most antioxidant-rich. [1]
What are the health benefits of drinking apple juice?
Gain-of-function mutations in the presenilin-1 (PS-1)
promote Alzheimer's disease (AD) by increasing reactive
oxygen species, at least part of which is derived by an
accompanying increase in generation of amyloid-beta
(Abeta). Supplementation with apple juice concentrate was
observed to attenuate or prevent the increase of PS-1
expression in juvenile and adult normal mice. [2]
Apple juice containing high amounts of antioxidative
polyphenols might protect the intestine against oxidative cell
damage. [3]
