Goddess Pomona Holding an Apple
Juicing is popular because of the assumption that the beneficial substances are extracted in the juice. The peel and the fiber are assumed to have little value. But the more research is done on foods, the more we learn about protective factors associated with fiber.
For instance, components of apple cell walls were found to prevent the antioxidant quercetin from oxidizing. Quercetin is an antioxidant found in apple peels, especially the peels of red apples. Although antioxidants help prevent harmful oxidation, the antioxidants themselves can be damaged by oxidation. But other substances in the whole apple can protect the quercetin. Then the quercetin can protect you.

If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
- George Bernard Shaw
Research has found that apples prevent senility in animals.
Surely the apple is the noblest of fruits. - Henry David Thoreau
