Good! Your digested wax theory is worthy of no further attention.


And, your paranoida about a NON-issue called wax on apples is worthy of
no further attention on my part.

Prove to me, that the wax added to apples raises any more health issues
than the pesticides apple trees naturally produce to fight off pests
the natural way.

You guys are simply morons.

Just thought that you might want to know.


I didn't claim there was a problem with the wax. Without it, we would not
have decent apples 3-6 months after the harvest. I take issue with your
claim that pesticides magically adhere to the wax and are flushed harmlessly
out of your body. That's simply ridiculous. Furthermore, even if it were
true, it would do nothing with regard to systemic pesticides. I'm sure you
know what those are, right?


Perhaps, if you were to concentrate?

Try talking to the wall. You might get a better response. I have no
intentions of continuing to talk to a self-admitted arse, like you.

I don't understand all this discussion about commercially grown apples. I
thought this was a gardening forum for people who want to grow their own stuff.

Well thanks to cross-posting, this thread is also in sci.med.nutrition.

Apparently, it was started by someone paranoid about wax on
commercially grown apples. There is absolutely nothing unhealthy about
eating a commercially grown apple from the USA.

All apples naturally have wax on them.

Historically, just one person died around 1920 from pesticide
contamination. Since then commercially grown apples have been washed
in order to remove all contact contamination from pesticides on the
skin of apples. A safe wax made from palm trees is then added in order
to replace the natural wax that was washed off during the cleaning
process.

If anything the wax on apples documents that it is perfectly safe and
healthy to eat. And, when properly handled this wax does NOT turn
white. White spots on apples, documents that those apples wont stored
properly. A fact that you would think that health conscience
individuals would want to know about. Why would anybody want to buy
white spotted apples, any more than a bunch of dark green bananas?

As usual, a bunch of trolls have tried to turn a non-issue into an
issue.
