Apple juice Could Reduce Wheezing…Increased consumption of apple juice or bananas may prevent childhood asthma, says new research form England. Using a population based survey of 2,640 children between five and ten years old the researchers found that one glass of apple juice from concentrate a day or more was associated with a 47 percent reduction in current wheezing. At least one banana every day was associated with a 34 percent reduction in current wheezing, compared to eating bananas less than once a month. Consumption of apples, other fruits and orange juice however was not linked with asthma symptoms. (Nutrition, May 2007, volume 23, issue 5, pages 419-423)
