I'm Confused.

Anything fresh, fruit or vegetables, are good for you. It's not a actually fruit or vegetables, it's the pesticides that's the problem.

Well, eating one apple a day isn't overloading your live, I am sure. Fruits and veggies are low calorie and filled with nutrients so I will continue to eat them. The health experts sound like quacks.

Maybe you should have everything in moderation

I get just as confused as you do. One day something is good for you and the next it's not. I try to limit my fruits that are higher in sugar and eat more of those that are lower. I don't necessarily cut out any fruit because I really like fruit. I hope you get some professional answers here as it would be very interesting to see what a nutritionists opinion is.

I stick to 'moderation in all things', except chocolate, of course!

I think moderation is the key.

Well, I know bananas have a very high amount of sugar so I stay away from them. But really, a healthy person with no medical issues just has to make sure they don’t overeat the recommended fruit amount a day. If people do that, they shouldn’t have too many problems. However, if one is diabetic, they just have to remember bananas and watermelon have a high sugar content so be careful. If we all kept to the recommended lean protein, a few fruits, and several veggies a day, we wouldn’t have to worry too much about specific fruits. That’s what my nurse practitioner told me anyway. (I don’t have diabetes, but my dad does.)

I think fruits and vegetables are healthy. Maybe for some people they have a health issue and can’t have them but I’m sure for most people they are good for us.

May be diabetes but surely not liver. I am hearing this for the first time.

I am of the opinion that what many of those Nutritionists do not tell us is that fruits high in sugar are harmful only if you eat to much of them and of course they do not tell us how much is a safe amount.

It does all get very confusing. The info changes so much.

You know what I ain't getting any younger so I eat and drink what I want and get on with my life,

I agree with you and other myLoters that moderation is the best idea. Nothing in excess is usually a good idea. We just need to be sure to wash all fruits and veggies very well.

It’s so confusing, right? ?? One day something is “super healthy,” and the next, it’s the villain of the food world. But honestly, whole fruits in moderation are usually fine—it’s the processed sugars and excessive fructose intake that can be problematic. Balance is key! ???? Maybe the best advice for kids and grandkids is to eat a variety of real, whole foods and not stress too much over every new health trend. ??

I think it is all rubbish we are fed today by the media.

I just eat what I want. Moderation is the only thing I do.

I have come to believe it doesn't matter what you eat, someone will always tell you it's not good for you and will kill you. I'm old school. A balanced diet wins every time. I stopped listening to the nay-sayers about foods that used to be good for you no longer are. I eat healthy and I'm enjoying what I eat. Don't worry about it. Eat an apple a day.
