Eating an apple a daymight in fact help keepthe cardiologist away, newresearch suggests.

In a study of healthy,middle-aged adults, con-sumption of one apple aday for four weeks low-ered by 40 percent bloodlevels of a substancelinked to hardening of thearteries.

Taking capsules con-taining polyphenols, atype of antioxidant foundin apples, had a similar,but not as large, effect.

The study, funded by anapple industry group,found that the apples low-ered blood levels of oxi-dized LDL — low-densitylipoprotein, the “bad” cho-lesterol. When LDL cho-lesterol interacts with freeradicals to become oxi-dized, the cholesterol ismore likely to promote in-flammation and can causetissue damage.

“When LDL becomes ox-idized, it takes on a formthat begins atherosclero-sis, or hardening of thearteries,” said lead re-searcher Robert DiSilve-stro, professor of humannutrition at Ohio StateUniversity and a re-searcher at the universi-ty’s Ohio Agricultural Re-search and DevelopmentCenter. “We got a tremen-dous effect against LDLbeing oxidized with justone apple a day for fourweeks.”

The difference was sim-ilar to that found betweenpeople with normal coro-nary arteries versus thosewith coronary artery dis-ease, he said.

The study is publishedonline in the Journal ofFunctional Foods and will

appear in a future printedition.

DiSilvestro describeddaily apple consumption assignificantly more effectiveat lowering oxidized LDLthan other antioxidants hehas studied, including thespice-based compoundcurcumin, green tea andtomato extract.

“Not all antioxidants arecreated equal when itcomes to this particulareffect,” he said.

DiSilvestro first becameinterested in studying thehealth effects of eating anapple a day after readinga Turkish study thatfound such a regimen in-creased the amount of aspecific antioxidant en-zyme in the body.

In the end, his teamdidn’t find the same effecton the enzyme, but wassurprised at the consider-able influence the appleshad on oxidized LDL.

For the study, the re-searchers recruited non-smoking healthy adults be-

tween the ages of 40 and 60who had a history of eatingapples less than twice amonth and who didn’t takesupplements containingpolyphenols or other plant-based concentrates.

In all, 16 participantsate a large Red or GoldenDelicious apple purchasedat a Columbus-area gro-cery store daily for fourweeks; 17 took capsulescontaining 194 milligramsof polyphenols a day forfour weeks; and 18 took aplacebo containing nopolyphenols. The re-searchers found no effecton oxidized LDLs in thosetaking the placebo.

“We think the polyphe-nols account for a lot ofthe effect from apples,but we did try to isolatejust the polyphenols, us-ing about what you’d getfrom an apple a day,”DiSilvestro said. “Wefound the polyphenol ex-tract did register a meas-urable effect, but not asstrong as the straight ap-

ple. That could either bebecause there are otherthings in the apple thatcould contribute to theeffect, or, in some cases,these bioactive com-pounds seem to get ab-sorbed better whenthey’re consumed infoods.”

Still, DiSilvestro saidpolyphenol extracts couldbe useful in some situa-tions, “perhaps in higherdoses than we used in thestudy, or for people whojust never eat apples.”

The study also foundeating apples had someeffects on antioxidants insaliva, which has implica-tions for dental health,DiSilvestro said. He hopesto follow up on that find-ing in a future study.

The study was conduct-ed as a Master’s thesis bygraduate student ShiZhao, and was funded bya grant from the U.S. Ap-ple Association/AppleProduct Research and Ed-ucation Council and a do-

nation from Futureceuti-cals Inc. of Momence, Ill.

Also involved in thestudy were associate pro-fessor Joshua Bomserand research associate

Elizabeth Joseph, both inthe Department of HumanNutrition, which ishoused in the university’sCollege of Education andHuman Ecology.

Study: An apple a day lowers level ofblood chemical linked to hardening of the arteries

by David UffingtonBank pile on fees

Because of the new banking lawsthat limit how much banks can chargeretailers, user fees have continued torise as banks have hustled to find oth-er ways to prop up their income.

The recent 15th annual survey byBankrate shows that the averagemonthly fee is now in the range of$5.50 — up 25 percent in a year —for accounts that don’t pay interest.For accounts that do pay interest(averaging 0.05 percent), thatamount is more than $14.

ATM fees also are up, averaging

$1.57 (charged by your own bank) ifyou make a withdrawal at a bank notyour own. The bank that you withdrawfrom will charge an average of $3.50 ifyou don’t have an account there.

Overdraft charges now average $31.Non-sufficient funds charges are

all in the $30 range across the coun-try, except for two states.

Free checking is on its way out:Only 39 percent of checking ac-counts today free, as opposed to 76percent of banks offering free check-ing back in 2009. “Free” not onlymeans free of a charge for having theaccount, but being free of the re-

sponsibility of meeting the bank’s re-quirements, such as keeping a mini-mum balance.

There are ways to get around beingcharged fees, but they aren’t foreveryone. Setting up direct deposit isone way, but not everyone works fora company that offers to pay elec-tronically. Another way is to agree tokeep a higher minimum balance atall times, although those minimumshave continued to rise, in many cas-es to more than $6,000.

Banks are betting that you won’tabandon them despite higher fees,that you’ll decide it’s just easier tostay and hand over the money, nomatter how high the charges go.

They have a point: If you changebanks you might need to deal withnew routines, the inconvenience ofchanging a direct deposit, new tellerswho don’t know you, and more. Per-haps you have a loan with an inter-est rate that’s directly tied to havingan account (not a good idea, for obvi-ous reasons).

Best bet: Per Bankrate, more than70 percent of credit unions still havefree checking. If your bank’s fees arecontinuing to climb, investigate acredit union near you. The “pain” ofswitching banks is only temporary.

by Tom Turpin, Professor of Ento-mology, Purdue University

Back in biblical times John theBaptist was a participant. Longbefore European settlers showedup in the so-called New World, sowere Native Americans. Ditto theancient people living in the Orient.We’re talking about entomophagy— eating insects.

Yes, according to Old Testamentbiblical accounts, John the Bap-tist wandered in the wildernessand chowed down on locusts andwild honey. I suppose one couldargue that John didn’t have muchin the way of food choices availableso he had to make do. Locusts,called grasshoppers here in theU.S., would have been plentiful.These insects were so commonand numerous as to constitute oneof the biblical plagues inflicted onthe Egyptians of the time.

On occasion, Native Americanswere also said to have engaged inthe eating of insects. It was themassive emergences of periodicalcicadas that attracted the gusta-tory attention of these people. Pe-riodical cicadas, by the way, weremisnamed locusts by the Euro-pean settlers, who were unfamiliarwith the insects that are foundonly in North America.

On the other side of the world,silkworms have been part andparcel of Oriental civilizations forcenturies and not just for the silkthey produced. Many silkwormsended up between chopsticks as afood item. The pupa of the silk-worm is the stage that is eaten.This is because the pupa isformed after the caterpillar hasspun the silken cocoon. The co-coons are boiled to collect the silk.After the average of 1,000 yards ofsilk from each cocoon is harvest-ed, the cooked pupae remain.

Despite the historical precedentfor using insects as a food item,the practice is not currently wide-spread in some parts of the world.Modern people, in general, seemto have an aversion to eating in-sects. Why is not totally clear.However, most people seem to en-joy eating the insect cousins thatlive in the sea. I’m referring toshrimp and lobsters. These seacreatures and insects are botharthropods, animals with an ex-oskeleton, antennae and jointedlegs. So we shun eating the land-dwelling arthropods but pay goodmoney to dine upon the arthro-pods of the sea!

At least we do not, like many oth-er animals such as birds and frogs,

intentionally eat insects. Intention-ally is the operative term becausemost people do consume insects ona regular basis. The weak of stom-ach and insect haters may want tostop reading here. As it turns out,foods of plant origin may includeinsects or insect parts.

So much so that years ago theU.S. Food and Drug Administra-

tion began publishing a documentcalled “The Food Defect ActionLevels.” This document lists themaximum “levels of natural or un-avoidable defects in foods for hu-man use that present no healthhazard.” Here are a couple of ex-amples. Peanut butter: average of30 or more insect fragments in per

100 grams. Tomato juice: averageof 10 or more fly eggs, or 5 ormore fly eggs and 1 or more mag-gots, or 2 or more maggots in 12subsamples of 100 grams. Theseare the defect action levels; any-thing below that is okay to eat.

It is apparent we eat pieces andparts of insects on a regular basis.So why don’t we intentionally con-sume insects? It might be a gener-

al disdain for insects, the ideathat such food is dirty or just thatwe have never done so.

As a food item, insects are highin protein and low in fat, and con-tain fiber and vitamins — nutri-tious food by any measure. Conse-quently, some people have pro-moted insects as a human foodsource and a way to provide morehuman food.

Books on this subject date back

more than a half century. In 1951A. S. Bodenheimer wrote thebook “Insects as Human Food.”In 1971 R. L. Taylor authored“Butterflies in My Stomach,”complete with recipes. Two morerecent titles are “Man EatingBugs: The Art and Science of Eat-ing Insects” by Peter Menzel and“Eat-a-Bug Cookbook” by DavidGeorge Gordon.

Professor Gene DeFoliart started

a food insect website. Insect festi-vals around the U.S., includingBug Bowl at Purdue University,have incorporated insect-cookingand -eating demonstrations aspart of the festivities.

Some people have even suggestedthat insect cultures might be a wayto provide a continuous food sourcefor future space travelers. Just an-other reason, I’m sure, for astro-nauts to complain about the food!

First time home buyers easily can be overwhelmedby the process of buying a home. In addition to thelegal hurdles associated with purchasing a home, thestress of committing such a substantial amount ofmoney can lead to some sleepless nights.

But first time home buyers in the market for a home can preparethemselves for the process ahead of time. Though the following tipsmight not guarantee a smooth and stress-free home buyingexperience, they can answer a few questions and facilitate theprocess.

• Establish your price range.As the housing crisis of the last several years indicated, manyhomeowners got in well over their heads. Some lost their homes toforeclosure, while others found it extremely difficult to pay theirmortgage each month. First time buyers can avoid such scenariosby honestly assessing what they can afford and searching forhomes within their price range. A host of Web sites, including somelender sites, provide free mortgage calculators so buyers can seejust what they can afford. Lenders often recommend spending lessthan 30 percent of income on housing costs.

• Research rates and taxes.Certain external factors beyond the price of the home will factorinto a homeowner’s monthly financial commitment. Taxes andhomeowner’s insurance can vary greatly depending on a home’slocation. Research property taxes in different communities, andshow around for homeowner’s insurance when looking for a home.

• Expect to pay costs.Closing costs are often a big shock to first time home buyers.Closing costs include lender fees, title and settlement fees, taxes,and homeowners insurance or homeowners association fees.Bankrate.com provides an annual closing cost survey for buyers toget a better feel of just what they will be spending when the timecomes to sign on the dotted line. A lender can also give anestimate of what fees may total.

• Consult some professionals.Real estate professionals in the area might be able to paint apicture of what the real estate market is like at the moment.Prices might be on the rise, on the decline or remaining steady. Iflooking in a specific area, consult with a real estate agent aboutthe area and what to expect.

When shopping for a home for the first time, buyers should expectthe unexpected. However, the surprise element can be reduced ifbuyers do their homework before starting the process.

There are so many questions that surround sellingyour home: Which realtor should you choose?How do I lure potential buyers?Don’t put your home on the market blindly.Following are a few tips to help get you started:

CHOOSING A BROKER

Speak with two or three brokers from different agencies. Ask themthe same questions to compare what they would do to sell yourhome. Some questions to ask include:

• How many years have you been in business?

• How long have you sold houses in this area?

• How many houses did you sell in the past year?

• What is your commission?

• If I were to work with you, how would you best market my house?

• Will you organize meetings with potential buyers and will youcoordinate them personally?

• Can you give me names and telephone numbers of othersfamilies that have that have used your services?

PREPARING YOUR HOME

So you’ve chosen a broker but now you have to get your home ingear. No matter how much or little it costs, its important to do some“spring cleaning” to your home before you put it on the market.Paying even a little attention to the details can make a hugedifference in the appearance of your home and attract moreinterest from prospective buyers. Some ideas include:

• Clean the exterior.Keep the grass cut and the outdoor area tidy. Paint or wash theexterior of the home including windows, shutters, siding and doors.Examine the gutters, chimney and driveway; get them into goodcondition. Seal any cracks in foundation or walkways.

• Touch up the interior.Clean and brighten rooms that have heavy traffic with a fresh coatof paint. Wash wallpaper, tiles, paneling, floors, carpets, tubs andshowers. Clean heat and air-conditioning air filters.

• Get rid of odors.Place potpourri around the house, especially if you have pets or asmoker in the family.

• Repair leaking or worn faucets and

oil squeaky doors.Also, clean underneath sinks, fixing any leaks and painting anyareas with visible damage.

• Eliminate clutter.Remove any unnecessary garbage from your closets, garage, atticand basement. Store garbage, debris, lawn mowers and hoses outof sight.

• Prepare it for the arrival of guests.Put your best face forward. Store any items you don’t want visitorsto see or have access to, like jewelry or other valuables. Get rid ofexcess furniture. Flowers and new guest towels also make a subtleyet important difference. Good luck!

(BPT) — As we age, and watch our loved ones growolder, it’s important to think about — and plan for —a time when we may no longer be able to drive. Buthow do we decide when it’s time to transition fromdriver to passenger?

In our busy suburban communities driving is essen-tial to an independent lifestyle, and the decision tostop driving is a sensitive, personal one. In addition tocreating practical challenges, giving up driving maystir feelings of anger, frustration, isolation and depres-sion, so it is not to be taken lightly.

With the significance of driving in mind, familymembers can help older drivers make the transitionfrom driver to passenger. But how do you initiate thedifficult conversation? The experts at AARP DriverSafety and The Hartford offer some advice.

First, help older drivers stay safe behind the wheel foras long as possible. Adult children can help aging par-ents regularly maintain their vehicles. And if it’s timefor a new car, adult children can help identify choiceswith new technologies that can enhance safe driving,like reverse monitoring systems. Older drivers canbrush up on their driving skills with AARP Driver Safe-ty’s course, which is specifically designed to help people50 and older refresh their driving skills. To find a class-room course near you, call 888-227-7669, or visitwww.aarp.org/findacourse; or sign up for an onlinecourse. Courses are available in English or Spanish.

Second, family members should observe an olderloved one’s driving by taking a ride as passenger andkeeping an eye out for warning signs. It’s important tolook for changes in driving abilities. These signs include:

• Frequent “close calls” or near-crashes• Unexplained dents or scrapes on vehicles, fences,

mailboxes, garage doors, etc.• Getting lost, even in familiar locations• Difficulty seeing or following traffic signals, road

signs and pavement markings• Slower responses to unexpected situations, trou-

ble moving the driving foot from the gas to the brake,and confusing the two pedals

• Misjudging gaps in traffic at intersections or onhighway entrance and exit ramps

• Experiencing road rage or inspiring it in other drivers• Easily becoming distracted while driving• Difficulty turning around to check the rear view

while backing up or changing lanes• Receiving multiple tickets or warnings from law

enforcement officers.Third, if you notice a pattern of warning signs and

an increase in frequency, then it’s time to initiate aconversation. It’s important to choose the right time,place and messenger.

“It’s important that the right person initiate the con-versation,” says Jodi Olshevski, a gerontologist andassistant vice president at The Hartford. “Research in-dicates that 50 percent of married drivers prefer tohear about driving concerns from their spouses first,then doctors and finally adult children. Whoever initi-ates the conversation should have a strong rapportwith the older driver.

“Whoever it is should be empathetic, armed withfacts about her driving and able to offer ideas for al-ternative transportation if needed,” Olshevski advises.

Avoid bringing up the topic of driving during family gath-erings. Instead, look for a quiet, private time when all par-ties involved will have privacy and minimal distractions.

If it’s time to initiate a conversation with a parent orspouse about driving, AARP Driver Safety’s “We Needto Talk” seminar can help. Developed based on infor-mation created jointly by The Hartford and MIT Age-Lab, the free, online seminar helps caregivers andthose with an older loved one initiate productive andcaring conversations about driving safety. To take thefree seminar, visit www.aarp.org/weneedtotalk, and todownload or order a free guidebook, visit www.the-hartford.com/lifetime.

While many older Americans are staying safe on theroads and driving longer than ever before, for some,health-related changes in vision, hearing, flexibility orcognitive function can make them less safe behind thewheel. With planning, preparation and sensitivity,families can help make the transition from being adriver to being a passenger a bit easier for older driv-ers and those who love them.

Advice for families coping with anolder driver’s changing abilities

It’s a common misconception thatonly car dealers can perform the rou-tine maintenance and repairs on anewer vehicle that is under warran-ty. In fact, it is law that consumerscan patronize their neighborhood re-pair shop or do the work themselveswithout violating the manufacturer’swarranty, says the Car Care Council.

Consumers are protected by theMagnuson-Moss Warranty Act, en-forced by the Federal Trade Commis-sion (FTC), which prohibits a manu-facturer from voiding the vehiclewarranty because service was doneby a non-dealer. According to theFTC, “It’s illegal for a dealer to deny

your warranty coverage simply be-cause you had routine maintenanceor repairs performed by someoneelse. Routine maintenance often in-cludes oil changes, tire rotations,belt replacement, fluid checks andflushes, new brake pads and inspec-tions.”

“Many motorists wonder if theywill void their factory warranty ifsomeone other than the dealer serv-ices their vehicle,” said Rich White,executive director, Car Care Council.“The truth is that consumers canhave routine repairs performed bytheir local independent repair shopor do the work themselves without

affecting the warranty. It is also im-portant to note that using aftermar-ket parts does not void the warran-ty.”

When using a non-dealer, inde-pendent aftermarket shop to main-tain your vehicle, the council strong-ly recommends keeping records andreceipts for all maintenance that isdone to the vehicle and adhering toscheduled maintenance require-ments. If a warranty claim arises,these records will provide proof thatmaintenance has been done in ac-cordance with the manufacturers’recommendations and requirements.
