RE: another reason not to eat fruit

[Guest guest]

I would tend to question this study. They gave them a normal diet but said

nothing about exercise. History has proven that people need the vitamins

etc. in fruit and that without them diseases such as scurvey occur. I still

say moderation is best.

Eating Fruit Can Increase Risk of Heart Disease and Diabetes?

Researchers found that fruit sugars, known as fructose, are more likely than

other types of sugar to cause fat around the middle, which increases the

risk

of heart disease and diabetes.

Fructose is found in fresh fruit, fruit juice, jams and soft drinks.

In tests, fat people given large doses of fructose were more likely to put

on weight around the stomach than those given glucose.

Scientists at the University of California put 33 overweight adults on a

normal diet for 10 weeks, followed by another ten weeks in which half the

group

received a quarter of their calories from fructose. The other half received

the same amount of calories from glucose.

They found that both groups put on the same amount of weight - about 3Ib -

but those on the high fructose diet put on fat around the middle, while in

the

glucose group the extra weight was spread across the body.

Dr. Havel, a professor of molecular biosciences in the School of

Veterinary Medicine, led a study that found fruit sugars known as fructose

are more

likely than other types of sugars to cause fat around a person's middle.

Ruth,

I agree with you on this one. Everything I've heard in the last few years

since becoming a diabetic supports having some fruit, though it seems best

if you have it along with other foods, not by itself. The vitamins in fruit

are very important to our health and we shouldn't do without them.

I know Bernstein supposedly hasn't eaten fruit since 1967 or something. I do

believe all the vitamins and minerals we need can be obtained from vegetables,

but as you say Ruth, moderation is probably the way to go.

I agree. I think fruit in moderation is good for you, and as long as you

exercise and watch calories and other carbs, you shouldn't get fat. The

study does say it's the fat around the middle that is dangerous, and a lot

of things can cause that fat, not just fructose.

I agree. The study they did gave the people 1/3 of their calories in

fructose-probably much more thatn the average person would eat in fruit.

But, unfortunately, I have had clients who truly believe they should eat

lots of vegetables-and lots of fruit-in their diabetic diet.
