is there such a thing as too much fruit in your diet

[Anonymous No.18754734]

yes, fruit is not actually very good for you in anything but small amounts
they've got a hell of a lot more sugar than nutrients, depending on your choice of fruit

Even in 2022 , science cannot tell you if fruit is healthy

nice meme, strange there is literally no evidence for it.

also, not all sugar is the same, but nice try

Fruit is only bad for you if you juice it. If you eat it whole yeah it has sugar but you need to eat a lot of fruit to match the amount of sugar in juice because the whole fruit has fiber

Your post is contradictory, anon.
I shouldn't be, but I am still astonished that people haven't caught on to nutrition profiles of regionally seasonal foods. Fructose isn't processed well in the human body, so the liver usually yanks it out of the bloodstream and stores it as fat in the liver for later glycolysis, favoring instead the more readily used Glucose.
WHEN different foods are eaten is just as important as WHAT and how much.
Think about what foods are around naturally for the coming season. There's your clue.
Fad diets and "Wonderfoods" (including all the fake shit and artificial sweeteners) are solely to push products.
true--our farmlands' soils are depleted and increased toxicity demands good vitamin and mineral supplements(or just clean organic food from well managed farms,) and clean water.
We are sold a style of eating that is unnatural. Fruits have a good purpose--padding for the coming winter, as do grains. certainly we have dramatically changed much of our foods, potatoes, corn, and others through selection, but the new trends in bioengineering foods is predominately a lie fostered by companies who are trying to get MORE money out of the harvests, regardless of end quality or long term detriments.

You dumb niggers talk about fiber like that fat cow that says
>if you drink diet coke after regular coke it cancels out the sugar
Fiber isn't some magical compound that nullifies sugar. At MOST fiber has only ever been show to slow down the rate of absorption of sugar, but never block it or prevent it.

this guy is right

when people say fruit is good for you, the question is, "compared to what"? compared to a donut? of course it's better. compared to vegetables? no. should you be eating a lot of fruit? no. it's a treat, and it gets you craving sweets more often.

you wanna eat fruit? have fun, it's great in moderation. just don't delude yourself into thinking that you gotta have fruit for health-related reasons.

[Anonymous No.18756609]

>>18756601
to expand on this: fruit is more dense in calories than vegetables, because of the higher sugar content. is sugar bad for you? no, in moderation. is a high calorie diet bad for you? yes.

tl;dr: it's just food. it's not some sort of naturally-occurring medicine, you fucking faggot.

This sentence contradicts itself
If your body turned some fructose into fat, it by god processed it

[Anonymous No.18756644]

>>18756588
sugar is only bad for you because it spikes your glucose. slowing down its digestion fixes the entire problem.

[Anonymous No.18756645]

>>18756629
>This sentence contradicts itself
It does not.. but to be fair, I should've typed"process it into direct usable energy as it does with glucose"
Fair?

only if you're a lardass who stuffs themselves stupid whenever they eat but you'd be pressed to do that with fruit

You're right; fructose is unhealthy, while glucose is perfectly harmless.

Not really. You can't eat so much that it would be too much. A stomach isn't bottomless.

Truth. Any kind of sugar takes his tax on your liver just like alcohol. It isn't too bad but in nature we're only allowed to eat it in warmer seasons where you are supposed to use more energy. On top of that you're a lot more outside in the summer anyway.

Actually i've read about a example where blended fruit is actually digested slower or something like that, didn't think that would be the case but apparently it was.

I don't know. Let's ask noted computer developer Steve Jobs, who adopted a fruit-only diet and later succumbed to pancreatic cancer because of it.

Mr. Jobs, can you tell us - oh wait, never mind, he's dead.

Turning fructose into fat is pretty complex although less complex than breaking down animal fat, then turning it into human fat

> is there such a thing as too much fruit in your diet
Yes

Fruits tend to contain a lot of fructose is turned into glucose and fat in the liver. When the liver does this process, the fat accumulates around the liver, and that "visceral fat" around and in your organs is correlated with poor health. The big name for it getting really bad is "fatty liver disease" which is often associated with alcohol, but fructose causes it for the same reason alcohol does.

Fruit has benefits though. Citrus, especially lemon, increases absorption of minerals that are connected to oxalate, and it also increases the excretion of oxalate, which reduces the risk of kidney stones. This makes it good to add lemon juice to a salad with things like spinach, because spinach is high in minerals and oxalate, but the oxalate just takes all of the minerals from you.
There's also the antioxidant effects from grapes' resveratrol and pomegranates' anthocyanin.
Fruits have a lot of prebiotic and probiotic fiber, which is important for your gut health, but many of these fibers can be gotten from vegetables too.
Plus if you want something sweet, it's better to eat fruit than to eat a candy bar.
