Canada Mark, LOL, yeah I can imagine eating the peel of six apples in a row would be a little too much... but eating six apples with the peel on trough the day wouldn't be that bad......
You just eat the peel of 6 apples or 6 apples.. Anyhow.. I would gladly eat 6 apples a day if that could replace remicade!!!!...
