TOP 10 Apple producers

In this article, the Top Ten Apple Producers in 2008 are stated to be China, USA, Iran, Turkey, Russia, Italy, India, France, Chile, and Argentina. Clearly, Poland is missing on the third place, with a production of 2,830,870 tonnes per year! This data can also be derived from the source named (FAO: http://faostat.fao.org ).

The TOP TEN would have to be China 29,851,163 United States of America 4,431,280 Poland 2,830,870 Iran 2,660,000 Turkey 2,504,490 Italy 2,208,227 India 2,001,400 France 1,940,200 Russian Federation 1,467,000 Chile 1,370,000

Please include the following information (concerning cholesterol-lowering effect of apples) into the article

The cholesterol-lowering effect of apple consumption is not actually caused just by the fact that apples do not contain any cholesterol (which is true for all fruits and vegetables), are bulky for their caloric content, etc. No, I think these statements alone are too general. Research on the subject shows much more detail.

For one thing, it seems that this beneficial effect of apples on cholesterol is more potent than that of other fruits (for further information, please look into the study comparing orange pectin to apple pectin - it is mentioned below in references). Moreover, it can be attributed to more specific elements than just "fiber", i.e. apple polyphenols and pectin, and to their highly synergistic combination. Also, I think it is very important to note that this has also been tested in moderately obese human subjects, in a clinical setting. 12-week ingestion of apple polyphenol-containing capsules significantly decreased total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels in those people.

Greek Kallisti is spelled wrong.

There should be an iota subscript under the eta (last letter) in Kallisti to make the word a dative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.137.139.168 (talk) 03:58, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

fruit ≠ tree

The apple is the pomaceous fruit of the apple tree ... and is a perennial.

The fruit is a perennial? Is this a usage with which I'm unfamiliar, or a poorly-built sentence? (I'm not gonna change it before asking.) —Tamfang (talk) 06:29, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For the term apple- Would you call is vascular or nonvascular? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.206.58.208 (talk) 21:23, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Mistake on Nutritional Value

Quote: " Nutritional value per 100 g (3.5 oz) Carbohydrates 13.81 g Sugars 10.39 g Dietary fiber 2.4 g Fat 0.17 g Protein 0.26 g Water 85.56 g "

Adding of these numbers is equal to 112.9 g. But it says "in 100g". Therefore, there can be a mistake.

Apple Tree

Why does Apple Tree point to an article that's nearly entirely about the fruit itself? There is quite a lot of distinctive information about the tree that is neither included nor appropriate for inclusion in this article covering the fruit. Thistledowne (talk) 19:07, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
