Protocol Ratings

Acid Reflux GREEN

Acid Reflux Protocol

Apples are low-acid (pH 3.3–4.0) compared to citrus, and their fibre content helps buffer what acidity they have. Non-acidic varieties like Fuji and Gala are best tolerated.

Low Sugar AMBER

Low Sugar Protocol

Apples contain 10.4g total sugar per 100g, but as a whole fruit these are intrinsic sugars, not free sugars (WHO/SACN). The 2.4g fibre significantly slows absorption. Whole fruit is much better than juice.
