The Apple Club Newsletter, Winter 2009, Page 4

During November I received an invitation to a book launch from one of our juice customers, Carmel Somers of Good Things Café in Durrus, West Cork. Carmel operates one of Ireland’s most celebrated cafés and also has a cookery school. I was so pleased to be invited that I offered to supply some juice for the launch, which in turn meant that I had no option but to accept the invitation.
Carmel’s book, “Eat Good Things Every Day” has been brought home, and having already tried one of the straight-forward dishes, I can attest to the excellence of the food prepared using her tips and recipes.
Available from usual outlets and at www.thegoodthingscafe.com

Miracle of Apple Juice

So said the front page headline of the Daily Express on January 24th last. The article went on to describe the research published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, which showed that mice who consumed the human equivalent of two glasses of apple juice each day did not suffer the normal decline in brain function associated with aging. Dr. Thomas Shea, of the Centre of Neurobiology in Massachusetts also found that the mice who were fed the apple juice produced less beta-amyloid protein in their brains. This is important because beta-amyloid is responsible for forming the sticky plaques in the brain that are commonly found in people suffering from Alzheimer’s.
