Eaten Garbage? Just wash it down with Apple juice.

Eaten Garbage? Just wash it down with Apple juice.

Will that cure you of all the ill effects of the garbage food (such as high fat fast food or convenience meals)?
Not likely but it might help somewhat as suggested by medical evidence.

Apparently, an apple's pectin acts like an antioxidant against bad cholesterol so it reduces the harm of the bad food that you ingest.

Apple pectin also helps maintain your internal plumbing by cleaning out your intestinal tract which can decrease
the instances of colon cancer.
It can help reduce gallstone, reduce insulin requirements

Apple pectin was even suggested once on a forum I visited to take the day before a 'drug test' in order to completely
clean your system out of all the toxins. I do not know nor do I profess any validity to this statement whatsoever and thankfully have never
needed a drug test OR worried about passing one :)

Apparently it binds and cleans intestinal metals and toxins and many people choose it to use for colon cleanses.

A quick Google on the web for Apple Pectin and you'll find dozens of links of companies trying to sell you the capsule form of this.
I also found a recipe online for making it yourself by boiling down apples and then simply straining them through cheesecloth or
through a clean white t-shirt in order to obtain the pectin.

Another reason to eat jam....COOL!
