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