How many dried red apples should I eat every day?

Lao Dong newspaper quoted Healthline as saying that the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that red apples have a fairly high sugar content, and if used improperly, can increase the risk of obesity and diabetes. This can negatively affect the immune system, because excess sugar in the body can cause inflammatory reactions, weakening the immune system over time.

WHO recommends eating only 3-5 red apples per day to ensure maximum absorption of benefits without adverse effects.
