[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you think bananas and apples and grapes aren't healthy?[/quote]

Np. Because they are full of sugar. Most endocrinologists (diabetes experts) will tell you to limit high-sugar fruits like banana and grapes. [/quote]

No, they won't, not unless you have diabetes or are eating 12 bananas a day.  Bananas and grapes in a normal amount are perfectly fine.  [/quote]

I can totally see how a normal person would view grapes and apples that way. I grew up watching Oprah deal with her weight. The big weight loss via protein shakes and then seeing her regain it all. Finally she got a nutritionist who helped her lose a reasonable amount in a supposedly healthy way. I distinctly remember her recalling how she'd keep a bowl of grapes on the kitchen counter and whenever she passed through the kitchen, she'd pop one in her mouth. Her nutritionist taught her that grapes were akin to candy-- lots of sugar and relatively free of nutrients. This was a big lesson for her. And for those of us who grew up watching her.

Likewise, have you ever read a DCUM thread about apple juice? The horror! Yes, juice is different from fresh apples, but if you're poised to view some fruits as candy-ish, then it's not hard to see apples as having less nutrition as well.[/quote]
