There's a reason why apples are often associated with health. In 2018, a study in the Journal of Food and Drug Analysis stated that apples inhibit breast cancer cells. An ingredient called polyphenol phloretin stops the protein that builds cancer cells, while not affecting normal cells.
Apples also provide antioxidants that may prevent tumors from forming. According to WebMD, these antioxidants send signals to healthy cells, telling them not to feed cancer cells. In an experiment with laboratory rats, apple water effectively reduced colon cancer cells.
