It does the opposite of all those things.
Fresh fruit actually has been shown to improve glycemic control, improve body weight, improve body composition, and improve the protection against a range of cardiometabolic diseases and cancer.
So
It doesn't really matter what anybody says.
We just have to face the evidence.
There's something called the glycemic index that was big in the 80s and 90s, and people were—it's kind of come back around again.
Glycemic index.
You've got to avoid the high glycemic index foods and things like that.
And there's a couple of fruits that actually have a high glycemic index, and that would be pineapples and watermelons.
Watermelons.
high on the GI scale.
But the way that glycemic index is determined is you get 50 grams of carbohydrate from a given food, regardless of the amount that you have to eat.
50 grams of it, and then you measure its effect on your blood sugar levels for two hours after ingestion.
Watermelons have what's called a low glycemic load.
So they have a very low amount of carbohydrate per serving.
Even though the carbohydrate itself, if you were to gather 50 grams of it, would have a more pronounced effect on blood sugar elevations.
And so even though those fruits have a high GI and certain foods have a high GI, they have a low glycemic load.
And ultimately...
People need to stop and think about things.
The longest living populations on the planet do not avoid fruit.
