An apple a day keeps the doctor away...

[Remora]

But ten apples a day, believe me- you'd rather have him stay.

Yeah. I kind of like apples, and even though there hardly is fruit in this house, i usually feast on it as soon as it's available. Three days ago, i ate an entire bag of apples to the core in two hours and the results weren't really good.

- I thought fruit was supposed to increase your resistance against diseases. I have the common cold for the first time in 1.5 years.
- For some reason, my throat has been very sore ever since i pushed all the apples down it. Once again, i thought the fruit was healthy?
- I had terrible diarrhea. I know this is related to the fibers in the apples' skin, but i didn't know it was that extreme?
- I was very thirsty after eating this ensemble of vegetation. Does "raw" apple juice cause thirst? Drinking water did not seem to help- it relieved for five seconds and i started having a dry mouth again.
- I'm also aware that food poisoning is possible with any kind of matter, be it steak, apples or even water (although not technically food). How many apples can i eat a day without... well, dying? :c

I really like apples, but i didn't like what happened after their consumption. They are so juicy ;~;

Just thought i'd put this out there as a warning for fellow apple lovers (what) and also to ask some questions about the results of the applefest.

all things in moderation - a bit vague "an entire bag of apples"?

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, especially if you aim for their crotch. =3

Anyway, with any dietary supplement, its best to fall within a reasonable interval. And twelve apples in a day is a bit extreme.

Apparently if you eat 5 bananas in the space of a day it can kill you because of the build up of whatever it was bananas are rich in, but as far as I can tell that's total bullshit, when was the last time you heard about someone ODing on bananas?

I think your body was trying to tell you no more apples :lol: Maybe exercise self-control next time. XD

[Miserabilia]

Oh gosh I kinda like apples but no, it's usualy not good to eat a lot of them especialy in a row.
The worst kind of apples is the yellowish chunky kind, that will make your digestive system go woop.

Twelve apples. ;~;

It was for the purpose of it being a round number. D:

[Horatio Nelson]

It honestly just sounds like you had way too much fiber, and the cold is coincidental. Try eating some bananas to counteract that fiber.

This made me "lol".

[James Dean]

Yeah apples and pears and plums and things of that sort have high fiber value, so eating the amount you did is bad. It leads to having the runs and being sick. :(

Which is why if I'm having fruit I always try to eat lots of grain to make sure my body is well balanced.

lol well that is way too many apples in such a short time. you can over drink water to the point of death (it has to be a verylarge amount in a short time though. Not something most people ever have to worry about)

[ImagineRepublicCity]

Yes, just like all other food items, yeah, too much can actually kill you. If you can consume so much water, you could probably die, though that's almost impossible because it's something like 10L a minute, idk, something crazy. Anyhow, yeah, things like lead and stuff is good for you in tiny quantities. THings like apples are good for you, in okay quantities. You have to be careful, because all foods actually have toxins but they're fine, but if you have waaaaaaay too many, yeah, you will get sick.
