The artificial wax is a replacement of the natural wax that is washed away during harvesting. I want to emphasize that chemicals and synthetic does not mean unhealthy. Just as naturally occurring in nature does not mean safe. Poison exists cyanide is in most nuts and apple seeds. A tiny amount of food grade wax is used making it safe and totally edible. For comparison thats like worrying about getting radiation poisoning from a banana. Or getting scared from accidentally eating an apple seed. The amount eaten is also important, note that with how little there is. Even if it was slightly harmful you'd be safe. But this is proven safe for human consumption. You'd probably be more hurt by a single beer in comparison. I want to point out this is done to maintain freshness. By protecting it from drying out, nutrient loss and stops microorganisms from entering it. While also preventing mold from growing on the apple. It has a legit purpose without harm on your health. I would say wash it and then feel free to eat your apple. But if it's that much of an issue. You can remove wax from apples by boiling water with 1/4 cup of vinegar and dipping the apples in the pot for about 10 seconds. Then, use a clean, coarse towel to wipe off the wax. This means you can enjoy the nutrients from the apple skin. While enjoying wax free and even more clean apples. Maybe rinse off the vinegar a bit more though haha.
Bananas are radioactive?? What else is the government keeping away from us?! But seriously. Thanks for your comment, the amount of misinformation in some of the youtube videos out there is crazy.
Just like saccharine was safe oh not so safe then nutrasweet was safe oh maybe not and the natural flavors. The FDA is deeply embedded with the “food” companies. Profits first and people last I’m afraid.
Apparently the apple skin has lots of nutrients. So you should just peel the wax off and rinse off the pesticides with baking soda. An apple without skin defeats the purpose of an apple.
Having severe constipation and consequently hemerroids(resulting from it, I approve this, it defeats the purpose of an apple. Dietary fibres are important
Think before you talk and use your common sense I know you like peeling skin from a Apple so we prefer washing them you know a apple has healthy skin so please use your common sense next time stop making me laugh😂😂😂😂
Especially considering apples have a wax like coating naturally. It gets washed away and then replaced with this tiny food safe layer. I find this type of fear mongering extremely dangerous, another example is him saying "that's the same wax we use on our cars", next time I see someone eating honey I'm gonna say to them "ew that's gross, that's the same stuff gymnasts use to stick to the bars", or when I see someone eating vinegar I'm gonna say "ewww that's the same chemical people use to decalcify their coffee machines and clean stains"
Organic Apples are not waxed! they produce their own wax compounds ( like all apples) but they are not mass produced like the “pesticide/apples” you are eating, so they’re no need to “face” them so they look better. If you eat conventional fruits , you should totally remove the skin off. Do yourself, and the environment a favor, and eat organic produce.
Dude, don’t encourage people, I don’t think you’re a doctor or a scientist cause they wouldn’t say that. Organic food AND conventional food both have the same risk, and honestly eating one over the other doesn’t really change anything, it doesn’t “help” the environment cause it still needs to be shipped in cargos across oceans, or planes, and trucks are used so they can travel to the grocery stores so you can buy them. So yeah, very little difference. Organic foods are also more expensive, and for those who read statements like yours and they’re not financially stable, they’ll likely now wanna choose organic because they’ll now think conventional produce is poison when it’s clearly safe to eat.
@@acpmc76 wtf you talking about? You going to turn the apple into sauce with your gorilla hands? Wax is still going to be there. It's not strength you need, but rather something abrasive, like a stiff brush.
Or just simply rinse the apple under warm water where you can help remove the unwanted stuff as the skin is in fact healthy for you, just like the rind on lemons, limes and oranges etc are!
i remember my mother asking me "Hey, why is your black hoodie sleeve got this white stain on it?" and i had to explain that, we always rubbed our apples there, to make the wax come off and make it shiny😂😂
idk if there's also wax on the skin in Germany but i don't think so. I'm consuming the skin because it's the spot where most of vitamins and minerals are which my body needs.
Keep in mind that many apple varieties produce epicuticular wax naturally (you can check it yourself if you have some apple trees handy, or read the wikipedia page). That's not to say that in the US you don't do terrible shit to your food.
That wax is natural and even washing the apple doesn't get rid of the wax . How I know that is because I can get apples right of trees and they have the wax
This is why you clean it, as a former boxer apples helped me lose weight before fights because of the skin and you cant tell me different since i went threw it.
That’s why we supposed to eat organic produce especially the fruits and veggies in the all the gmo foods list always get those organic or from local farmers markets
And by the way the skin has tons of benefits the only thing you have to do is wash them good because of pesticides which can really be harmful to the body and there are ways to get rid of them also naturally using apple cider vinigar and whatever. My advice is never 100% believe what you see in the Internet and do your own research. Do what sounds logical.

glad you commented this. people are so prone to scaremongering. ffs don’t listen to these influencers
@ I think it’s a bad idea to scare people away from healthy foods when there’s no scientific backing to the claims. I’m totally with you on this.
I hope he pin this
Bananas are radioactive?? What else is the government keeping away from us?!

Damn that's convenient.
Sarcasm?@@bujin5455
Bro he literally waste his time peeling apples which is also not convenient.@@bujin5455
Having severe constipation and consequently hemerroids(resulting from it, I approve this, it defeats the purpose of an apple. Dietary fibres are important
It’s just pure sugar at that point
Bro has never heard of washing fruits and vegetables 😭😭
A lot of people wash improperly, though, and that won't take the wax off. In the time it takes to properly wash it, you can just peel it.
Think before you talk and use your common sense I know you like peeling skin from a Apple so we prefer washing them you know a apple has healthy skin so please use your common sense next time stop making me laugh😂😂😂😂
Are we discussing the "that doesnt sound like fruit" statement?
Especially considering apples have a wax like coating naturally. It gets washed away and then replaced with this tiny food safe layer.
I find this type of fear mongering extremely dangerous, another example is him saying "that's the same wax we use on our cars", next time I see someone eating honey I'm gonna say to them "ew that's gross, that's the same stuff gymnasts use to stick to the bars", or when I see someone eating vinegar I'm gonna say "ewww that's the same chemical people use to decalcify their coffee machines and clean stains"
what about the fibre intake? without the skin the apple is just like sweet water.
PLOT TWIST: U JUST RINSE THE APPLE 🍏
Got to clean that wax off because the skin has most of the nutrients
Educate this person that in food manufacturing, there are already food grade chemicals that can be used to extend shelf life.
Organic Apples are not waxed! they produce their own wax compounds ( like all apples) but they are not mass produced like the “pesticide/apples” you are eating, so they’re no need to “face” them so they look better.
If you eat conventional fruits , you should totally remove the skin off.
Do yourself, and the environment a favor, and eat organic produce.
Hippy
There's organic certified waxes tho... So they definitely can have it
Dude, don’t encourage people, I don’t think you’re a doctor or a scientist cause they wouldn’t say that. Organic food AND conventional food both have the same risk, and honestly eating one over the other doesn’t really change anything, it doesn’t “help” the environment cause it still needs to be shipped in cargos across oceans, or planes, and trucks are used so they can travel to the grocery stores so you can buy them.

Influencers Googled information on the internet and became experts in 30 minutes..
The skin is the healthiest part
Nah. The apple skin has important nutrients. I just wash it before eating.
wax doesn't wash off.
He knows that though 😊
@@bujin5455 it does when you're shredded! :D
@@acpmc76 wtf you talking about? You going to turn the apple into sauce with your gorilla hands? Wax is still going to be there. It's not strength you need, but rather something abrasive, like a stiff brush.
@@bujin5455if you use hot water it might wash off
Without the skin, its just sugar 😂😂
One of the dumbest comments I’ve ever seen on RUclips
Its a naturally occurring wax that apple forms.
Truly a "If nature doesn't make it, don't take it" moment.
There's a reason why people say wash it before eating yk influences are getting dumber and dumber.
Or just simply rinse the apple under warm water where you can help remove the unwanted stuff as the skin is in fact healthy for you, just like the rind on lemons, limes and oranges etc are!
Just wash it bruh
So we should not wash Our fruits and vegetables💀💀
That’s why it tells you to rinse it. 3 seconds under the tap seems a lot more worth it than peeling the whole thing 😂
thanks man. Double checkt an apple bought in Finnland. Wow there is a crazy amount on it 😢
in finland, like the rest of europe, its beeswax, 100% safe
So worth it to skin the apple. Tastes better somehow😊
Tastes better because it’s technically unhealthier without the essential fibers and nutrients is it😂
In the words of sean, this is bullsh*t
thanks, wanted to say that
its beeswax, at least in europe, so perfectly good
I wish that was a legal requirement. ...in the US.
Ain’t no fking telling what it is in America bro
I usually either peel or wash the apple
Wait until he finds out about PFAS in almost every element of the food production chain.
Bro it naturally grows on it 😅
Wow I didn't know Simone put car wax with 30 different chemicals and bleach to my apple that is also used for cars☠️☠️
“We waxed our fruits.” Shaving is more convenient for me.
Man i eat apple straight from my orchard , it also have thin layer of natural wax.
Bro just wash the goddamn apple 🍎
If you're afraid of the skin of an apple
You got a lot of things to worry about
An apple skin is rich in fibre, eating it without fibre is kinda defeating the purpose
Just put the apples in hot water overnight and wash them the next day. Waxless apples with all the fibres
Not only that, but also the fact that an apple is a complex and confusing fruit due to having high fiber and carbohydrates at the same time.
its a natural coating my grandparents have apple trees in their garden I’ve tested this myself.
i remember my mother asking me "Hey, why is your black hoodie sleeve got this white stain on it?" and i had to explain that, we always rubbed our apples there, to make the wax come off and make it shiny😂😂
idk if there's also wax on the skin in Germany but i don't think so.
I'm consuming the skin because it's the spot where most of vitamins and minerals are which my body needs.
Wtf? I need to check apples in my country.
That's why you wash apples properly before eating them
The red skin protects the heart, just wash it before eating
"Apple a day keeps the doctor away"
Aha dont think so
Idk why but now my new hobby is peeling and cutting apples as if I’m a professional chef😂
Sad deal, I like the skin. The skin also holds a lot of nutrients.
Bro its natural and apple is making it him self
You'd be better off eating the skin and throwing away the apple.
That's the natural wax produce by the fruit itself😂
Me eating an apple while watching this 💀
here’s why you should never take health advice from fitness influences.
Keep in mind that many apple varieties produce epicuticular wax naturally (you can check it yourself if you have some apple trees handy, or read the wikipedia page). That's not to say that in the US you don't do terrible shit to your food.
I don't feel like doing that shit your a great guy I'm not lazy but if I'm hungry I'm not doing that I'm devouring the apple to be honest
It’s just edible wax, it’s also produced naturally by the apples. Just scrub it off with baking soda
YET STILL THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION DOES NOTHING
Once RFK starts running things America will be healthy again!
That wax is natural and even washing the apple doesn't get rid of the wax . How I know that is because I can get apples right of trees and they have the wax
I use the scrubbing side of an organic sponge to clean my apples. The skin is healthy.
This is why you clean it, as a former boxer apples helped me lose weight before fights because of the skin and you cant tell me different since i went threw it.
People scared to eat anything now a days. Its a goddamn apple ffs.
The damage the wax make is lesser than what the skin benefits you
Oh shit lol I just realized I went to eastern high school with this dude
Why not plant your own apple tree and eat your own apples? Easiest way.
As someone watching everybody hates Chris all over again that's $0.23 worth of apple
You can put the apple under hot vinegar-water, then you will see, how that wax melted down.
I grow my own apples. Unfortunately everything in the store is highly compromised.
I'm still eating the skin because it cleans your intestines
On Asian you rub salt and wash it of with water. That kinda scares me that ppl it it without the wash cuz of bacteria in stores
In EU it's illegal to wax apples. Wax on european apple's is natural
Rinse in hot water, the wax will melt easily and rinse off.
Or you can just run it under hot water, wax has a low melting point
Wow not eating the skin again .
that's why I grow my own fruits and veggies
That is actually edible and is harmless even in the long run so don't listen to everything you see on the Internet
If you aren’t tasting the skin then why would you ever eat an apple?
lol everyone so concerned with apple skin wax and then goes to McDonald’s
That’s why we supposed to eat organic produce especially the fruits and veggies in the all the gmo foods list always get those organic or from local farmers markets
You lose too much vitamins and antioxidants for peeling to be worth it imo
It s the same sound as my apples from my garden
Than you never had a fresh Apple right of the tree
If the wax alrdy is too much for you, wait till you find out about the whole poison in literally every fruit, vegetable etc lmao
In Germany I never had an apple with wax.
You can just scrape the wax off with a knife or steel wool
Yea I just run the Apple under cold water for like 5 seconds don’t peel and enjoy
It's because he's not allowed to
Absolutely! I always peel off the skin of fruit and veges.
Instead of unpealing it put it in hot water and the wax will disappear
You can drop it in hot water for a littke while. That will melt the wax away.
It's worth the effort
Just put the apple in hot water. The wax will melt away
Why can't we just melt it by putting it on hot water?
wash the damn apple if you don t wanna eat wax.
That is why I don‘t live in the US
I use a fruit & vegetable wash. It helps and makes everything taste better. The wax does help keep the spoiling from happening sooner.
And by the way the skin has tons of benefits the only thing you have to do is wash them good because of pesticides which can really be harmful to the body and there are ways to get rid of them also naturally using apple cider vinigar and whatever. My advice is never 100% believe what you see in the Internet and do your own research. Do what sounds logical.
I come here to just read the comments 😂
Bro all these eat healthy people be doing stuff Im doing everyday but yet…
Im still here alive
actually its beetle poop. also apple skin is good for you dont waste it
Bro the apple is still fine the wax is no problem
Just wash your fruits bro:)
You know you can remove the wax and eat the skin normal?you don't need to remove the skin
That’s messed up man!
You think that's air your breathing.....?
