Myths revealed 1: Apple vs Banana

These days my liking towards apples has decreased but for one recipe - Apple Salad that too mixed with other vegetables. I used to wonder what is so special about apple. Is it really true that "An apple a day keeps the doctor away"?

Little search from Google gave this information: A banana has less water, fifty percent more food energy, four times the protein, half the fat, twice the carbohydrate, almost three times the phosphorus, nearly five times the Vitamin A and iron, at least twice the other vitamins and minerals as an apple. Look for complete nutrition information at Dole 5 A Day website.

So is it fair to say "A banana a day is better than an apple a day"?
