We have been told "fruit is healthy" so long it is ingrained in our belief system. Woke up early this morning and Dr Berry had just released this video so thought would pass it on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a81DZVZvYN0&t=334s Here are videos by Dr Gary Fetke from several years past that I have linked to more than once concerning the healthiness of fruit. He has made more than one and you can look at the release date for the latest. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gary+fettke+fruit+fructose Modern fruit, bred and cultivated for its sweetness, is mostly a sugar bomb. It is definitely more healthy than fruit juice but there are vegetables that have lots more nutrients without the fructose and glucose load. From a nutrient standpoint it is not all that good. Nothing wrong for most people to have some as a treat. Lot better probably that some other sugar laden food. But loading up on fruit thinking they are doing something positive for their health is probably not helpful. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. It is almost as if we need to take everything we have ever learned about nutrition and turn it on its head and do the opposite. John
