Scott: Of course, why?
Nam: Did you know that it’s really true?
Scott: What do you mean? If I eat one apple a day I will never get sick?
Nam: Not exactly, but it can help you lose weight, build healthy bones, and also prevent
diseases like cancer.
Scott: Wow! That’s incredible. I drink apple juice everyday.
Nam: That’s good, it will help keep you from getting Alzheimer’s disease when you get old.

remember things for a long, long time.
Scott: But Nam!
