Researchers from Florida State University have added one more benefit to the list of apple benefits, that apple has a significant effect on lowering the bad cholesterol.
Apple pectin and polyphenols improve lipid metabolism and lower production of pro-inflammatory molecules.
This research revealed the long term cardio protective effects of daily consumption of apples in postmenopausal women.
It was found to decrease LDL cholesterol by 23 percent and also leads in decreasing of lipid hydroperoxide level and C-reactive protein and increase of good cholesterol(HDL) by 4 percent.
Importantly it was found that getting the extra calories from apple didn't lead to any weight gain..
