This blog is going to be mostly written on the information from the t.v. show MythBusters.
History/Background of the Myth:
Many people have been told by others, or told others themselves, that the natural sugars in an apple can wake you up better than the caffeine in a cup of coffee. We all know that after the caffeine wears off and the sugar rush is over you're even more tired than before. So that could be why an apple is better than the coffee in the morning. Plus, with an apple, you don't get those nasty yellowish teeth stains like you do with coffee.
Hypothesis of the Test:
Not a whole lot can go on with this one. The Internet doesn't help much either. I guess the Mythbusters can talk to a professional sleep scientist or something. Instead of doing this individually, like in the hypnotic cure/change myths, 2 of the MB crew will try waking up each morning by eating an apple, and the other 2 with coffee.
It was confirmed by the mythbusters that an apple can wake you up better than coffee.
I don't have much information on this, and neither does the internet. So i'll just give you some sites that say apples are better than coffee.

makes sense, i eat apples around 4 times a week, but nothing is better in the morning than having a warm cup of coffee, especially in the winter
I heard this myth but, couldn't figure out from where! I think its true at least for me the apple works great however, most people really enjoy that cup of coffee in the morning. Even though I think the apple works I still drink coffee, I do both in hopes both will wake me up. Good Job!
I wish there was more evidence that an apple wakes you up better than coffee in the morning. I have the hardest time waking up or if I get up, staying up throught the day. I might try to eat an apple to see if it works for me. Nice topic.
