Continuing with the healthiest fruits, today is number three. I'm sure most aren't surprised that oranges are close to the top. You might even be surprised oranges aren't number one or two. I personally was surprised they weren't number two. As with the other two the past couple of days, the following is a direct quote from the healthiest fruits list. This list is from a health guide I picked up in my oncologist office.
" Oranges pack a punch when it comes to nutrition. Just one navel orange contains 82.7 milligrams of vitamin C, which meets most (or all) of your daily requirement for this nutrient. Vitamin C supports immune function, collagen synthesis, and iron absorption, and works as an antioxidant to help protect cells against damage that could potentially lead to disease. Research indicates that people who regularly consume citrus fruits like oranges lower their risk for a number of diseases, including colorectal cancer."
