[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe fruit is good for you. I think some fruits are better than others and portion size for things like grapes matters. FWIW, I've had a dietitician tell us to severely limit fruit for kids (family history of diabetes) and a pediatrician who vehemently disagrees. I've heard that smoothies dilute the benefit of the fruit's fiber. The dietitician who wanted us to limit fruit is more forgiving of fruits like berries.[/quote]

Ditch that dietician. Get a copy of Mastering Diabetes from your local library or bookseller of your choice. FRUIT is God's gift to us, truly. As are most vegetables.

Yes, I have evangelical zeal about this topic. It comes from the anger I feel over decades of misinformation fed to me by dieticians and physicians alike.

I'm quite sure that most Americans don't realize that medical schools DO NOT TEACH NUTRITION SCIENCE, not even in 2024 when there is a global health PANDEMIC of diabetes, heart disease, and cancers all linked to DIET and most reversable through DIET.

But there is little profit in preaching fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds - even though you can build a delicious diet out of these foods that will promote physical and mental health.

Also Dr. Robert Lustig, pediatric endocrinologist who spent decades treating pediatric diabetes and obesity including in children as young as SIX MONTHS OLD (it's got nothing to do with willpower, folks!) has written three excellent books; start with his most recent which is a call to arms for physicians and lay people alike to recognize that Big Ag/Food is doing the very same thing to us that Big Tobacco did.

Metabolical is the book, and diabolical is most definitely a word that accurately describes the current food and healthcare industries in America, and everywhere that we have exported them. [/quote]
