Apples contain only 4 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams, much less than citrus. Apples aren't high in vitamin C, but why are they often considered one of the healthiest fruits? There is a famous saying, praise apple:
An apple a day keeps the doctor away!
Studies have found that every 100g of apples, although the vitamin C itself is only about 4mg, and lemon 100mg is far from comparable, but eating apples may increase the vitamin C content in the body. People found that eating 1.5 to 2 apples a day for 3 weeks reduced triglycerides in the blood, increased blood levels of vitamin C by about 34 percent, and increased gut bacteria. Moreover, the increase in vitamin C decreased after apple intake was stopped, so it is speculated that eating apples increases vitamin C in the blood.
