A member asked:

My 4yr old loves apples. he eould eat three a day if i would let him. is there any harm in him having more than one apple a day?

No, well sort of...: More than one apple? No, that's fine. Having 3-4 every day? That's not very well balanced, and he may fill on those without having vitamins supplied by other foods. Chopping 1-2 apples and letting him have parts through the day may indulge him in his "apples all day long" approach without letting him fill on them to the detriment of other nutrients.

Depends : I use apples or apple sauce as a natural plug to firm up the stools of a kid with diarrhea.Kids who consume several/day are at risk of plugging up the system.
