IS FRUIT EVEN GOOD FOR YOU?

Is there any other watch out foods that
00:00:03
you know people think are healthy but
00:00:04
maybe if if I was trying to have a
00:00:06
optimally healthy heart I should avoid.
00:00:08
Is this going to surprise you? Excess of
00:00:11
fruit
00:00:13
because I'm not a very big follower of
00:00:16
fruit. Fruit should be eaten only in
00:00:18
season because it has too much fructose
00:00:19
in it.
00:00:20
Fructose being the sugars.
00:00:21
Fructose is sugar and fructose causes
00:00:24
fatty liver. So our overconumption of
00:00:27
fruit is another factor that is
00:00:31
contributing to coronary artery disease
00:00:32
and diabetes and fatty liver. And we
00:00:35
think of fruit as being a healthy thing.
00:00:37
But fruit should only be consumed really
00:00:39
in the fall and in season and in small
00:00:42
amounts because that high fructose level
00:00:45
really causes major changes in your
00:00:47
metabolism. So I'm not too fond of
00:00:49
fruit. You can eat fruit in season,
00:00:51
small amounts of it. But you know,
00:00:53
people go crazy about fruit. I mean, I
00:00:56
had a patient who was having mental
00:00:58
problems as well as cardiovascular
00:01:00
disease. And he that's all he lived on
00:01:02
is fruit morning, lunch, and dinner. And
00:01:05
the moment we stopped that, his health
00:01:07
changed completely. He got so much
00:01:08
better.
