Thank you Natalie. I just had some oranges. Yum!
PREACH IT.

Good job in making the video! Nice!
What about if you’ve got fructose malabsorbtion? Fruit makes me sick.
Not all fruit is “packed” with nutrients. Look at the RDA of the vitamins in the apple, not just how many vitamins are in it. Apples have no substantial amount of anything but high-glycemic sugars. Its highest nutrient is 11% of the RDA of vitamin C. All the other nutrients are under 4% of the RDA. Many fruits have similarly low nutritional values. That is truth.
Fruit CAN be an important part of a diet, but is not necessary. Contrary to popular belief, sugar isn’t the only source of energy.
Fruit makes you sick? Don’t eat it. Vegetables are usually way higher in most nutrients, anyway. Did you know, for example, a green pepper has more vitamin C and more vitamin A than an orange?
It’s surprising just how many foods we’ve been told are “good for us” are actually nearly devoid of nutrients, like grain, for example.
Use your favorite search engine to find websites with real nutritional content for foods listed (broken down by food, and by vitamin). It’s a mind-blowing experience.
The only reason grains are “devoid” of nutrients is because of the way they’re processed (just like fruits lose their nutrients when they’re juiced and pasteurized.) True whole grains — especially when sprouted — have a lot of nutrients.
I can appreciate that whole, sprouted grains are much more nutritious than their highly-processed counter-parts, but those types of grains aren’t what the USDA keeps trying to cram down our throats as something that’s good for us. I’ve noticed a growing trend in the grocery stores where products are now being marketed as “whole grain” then find on closer inspection, are still running over with highly-processed flours, with just enough whole grain to advertise it on the label.
Too Much isn’t good. But it’s an essential mineral.
Look for Farmers Markets: cheap, local and picked ripe.
Where did you get information that says fruits are not necessary in our diet?
Sugar (from fruit) isn’t the only source of energy, but it happens to be the best source for human bodies.
That would depend completely on the individual’s sensitivity to sugars. My body, for example, does not properly metabolize sugar. On the other hand, fat and protein are excellent sources of energy for me.
There is much information available on finding the right way of eating for an individual. Do a web search for low carbohydrate and primal type diets. For many, moving away from the recommended American diet has been a literal life saver.
B12? I thought its only in meat. I’m still feasting on almonds, cashews and dry roasted peanuts. do you realize how heavy fruits are? I can buy a month supply of nuts in one shopping. and fruits rot quickly. oh, I still get myself frozen blueberries. but thats it, thats my staple food and whatever I can think of to buy. you get used to it when you eat less by volume (nutrition is still the same). when I ate bread, my stomach was huge. this way is better.
and who even eats bananas? we domesticated them, not monkeys and other apes.
Green peppers are fruit.
Technically speaking peppers, tomatoes, squash, pumpkin, green beans, etc. are fruit indeed. They are, however, classified as vegetables because they aren’t sweet. Fruits classed as vegetables are typically very low in sugar and starch, and often (although certainly not in every case) have many more vitamins than what we call fruit, yet people still tout the “health benefits” of fruits like apples, which have very few nutrients for their sugar and caloric impact. There are much better choices.
I don’t eat them as they are way better sources of potassium and the other vitamins bananas contain without the sugar. Our grocery store carries what they call miniature bananas, which are very close to the original banana, and much more in line with what a serving size of banana should be.
All our fruit has been bred to be larger, sweeter, etc., and it wasn’t the wisest move.
Humans should eat WHATEVER they want !
Just they shouldn’t sleep and sit all day long…
“Humans should eat WHATEVER they want” except factory/industry produced stuff.
