Funny how people watch a 2 minute video, explaining one simple aspect of reality (sugar is sugar) and expect detailed and nuanced information. If that is what you want, go watch his longer lectures, but that will take more time. I also guess in the whole program he does go on to explain why eating an apple might be better than drinking a can of coke. Also worth considering that a lot of endurance athletes fuel themselves partially with soda (normally coke, but most sports drinks are not much better) on race day.
The reason this needs to be said, is lots of people do not consider that fruit to contain sugar, or fruit juice to be a thing to be consumed in moderation.
Hey natural sugar and artifical sugar you cannot compare them I am sorry are you really a doctor🤷🏻♀️
Sugar is sugar is sugar is sugar. My blood sugar shoots straight thru the roof if I eat ANY kind of fruit over a very small amount.
hello
This boy is the biggest dummie
Show me a single fat person who has been a fruitarian for multiple years and I’ll believe that fruit can make you fat.
This is serious disinformation y’all promoting this need to be in jail.
This information is very misleading I’m losing weight and I only eat fruit and veggies
Whoever trusts a doctor needs to see a doctor !
Sugar is full of chemicals and it is made in factory so it is processed food on the other hand fruit contains natural sugar majority of fruits sugar digest really easily by the body on the other hand majority of sugar doesn’t digested by body so it becomes fat please don’t mislead people.
Net carbs in fruit is awsom, the fiber is key to healthy micro biom, and health
i just find out my fruit binge is killing me. Back to doritos
"Trust me I’m a doctor" I ATUOMATICALLY don’t trust you LOL. Sorry doc – sugar IS NOT sugar. Not EVEN CLOSE. NOT ONE BIT. This notion is pathetic.
This doctor has no idea what he’s talking about.
too difficult to say vegetables? ? that’s sound so stupid
Just drink plain water.
Somebody is going to leave this video thinking 2 apples = 1 coke, which is really sad
Now i wanna die, 🗿🗿🗿🗿
This video leaves out the fact that fruit has soluble and insoluble fiber (antioxidants too). While I agree juicing fruit is a poor choice, eating fruit whole has many benefits because the water and fiber content, especially insoluble fiber like pectin, makes you feel full. This is known to science, look up articles about pectin and the hunger hormones leptin and ghrelin. Because fruit is so satiating (filling), it is good to consume as a snack or with meals. Of course, all food should be consumed in moderation.
Can has refined sugar and Fruit has natural sugar .
dang. monkeys must be having hard time with diabetes.
Fruits cause almost instant reflux, in my case
Fruit has sugar that is easily digested… Soda has sugar that fucks with your liver and might give you cancer.
They are not the same
I can’t believe you’re trying to convince people that fruit is bad and the same as soda. Sugar is not sugar. I can’t believe you’re a doctor. Smh.
Not that long ago, breakfast was the most important meal of the day. Now you better skip it.
Not that long ago, fat was the worse thing to eat and sugar wasn’t that bad, now it’s quite the opposite.
Not that long ago, cereals where the foundation of the pyramid, now cereals are real bad.
Not that long ago, milk was very healhty, not anymore.
Not that long ago, eggs were a no-no, too much cholesterol. Now are among the healthiest things you can eat.
Not that long ago, fruit was very healthy, now turns out fruit is unhealthy.
As time goes by, is becoming increasingly hard to believe any diet advice… let’s see what they say in ten years.
Well now this is false lol plenty of long term fruitarians who live off fruit and greens are definitely not overweight. Natural sugar only causes issues if you have too much fat in your diet.
He is actually wrong about the weight gain. The body does not create excess weight unless it also has waste it needs to store somewhere. This is because the body uses fat to store waste in, because waste tends to be acidic and fat protects against that. the lymphatic fluid is also based in fat. Normally the body would dump it’s waste into the lymphatic fluid which would then bring it to the right organs for cleaning it up, ultimately making you pee out the waste. But when you eat too unhealthy (i.e. as almost everyone does nowadays) then your lymphatic system will be clogged and unable to accept acid waste from your cells. This means that your body will get damaged unless it can create another place to store the waste. And thus it creates excess fat and stores the waste there, hoping to clean it up in the future (which normally never happens as most people never start eating healthily enough and in fact often die to this waste).
Fat containing a lot of energy is merely a side-effect. Yes, when you have a shortage of energy your body will consume excess fat. It will also consume your muscles, does that mean that the primary use of muscles is for energy storage? No. Muscle are primarily for strength, but in times of need the body may decide that the energy in the muscles could be better spend elsewhere. Same kind of thing for excess fat. It’s role is to protect against waste, it is a waste dump. But in times of desperate energy shortages the body may decide that being damaged by the waste is less harmful then the lack of energy and thus may retire the fat and use it’s energy for sustenance. The fat reserves are thus not energy reserves, they are toxic waste dumps which happen to contain a lot of energy as a side-effect of fat containing energy.
This means that there are 2 ways to lose weight: energy restriction and waste restriction.
Energy restriction means that you create an unhealthy shortage of energy, forcing your body to not create fat for storing excess waste. this way you can eat waste without getting fat, though your health will suffer and in the long run it might kill you.
Waste restriction means to keep the body clean by not eating more waste than it can clean out. This way you will never get fat no matter how much energy you consume because the body will simply refuse to use the energy to create excess fat as there is no need for excess fat when there is no waste to store. This is the healthy way to lose weight. This is the only way that people ought to use. When you use waste restriction you can eat as much fruit as you want and you will get a perfect weight, because fruit contains no waste. This is also the method which I personally use.
So I have to disagree with his "sugar = sugar" logic on the grounds that that tautology is simply irrelevant. I challenge anyone who disagree with me to try out a fruitarian diet for a month and see if he can gain weight on it. It is impossible.
Very misleading thing to say by a healthworker! You can eat a fair amount of fruits daily and still not get fat. It’s because of the dietary fibers in the fruit that "traps" all the fructose and glucose, which means your gastrointestinal tract will absorb those sugars gradually into the bloodstream, therefore keeping the glycemic index (GI) relatively stable and giving your cells a few hours to burn all that sugar that steadily influx into all the cells of the body. The opposite is true with liquid calories a.k.a. sodas that apsorb trough intestines very quickly and spikes the GI trough the roof, making the pancreas secrete more insulin that drives all that excess sugar into the cells and there turning it into fatty acids. It also leads to insuline resistance. Try eating fruits when you get a sweet tooth, and avoid all processed sugars (chocolate, sodas, mcdonalds etc.), you will feel a lot better, inflamation and stress will be reduced. Fruit also have a lot of biflavonoides, vitamins and minerals. It’s always better to get vitamins and minerals from A NATURAL SOURCE than from the tablets. This is coming from a pharmacist and biochemist. Fibers also slow down the apsorbtion of fats from your other meals, and lower overall cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL (low density lipoprotein a.k.a. "bad cholesterol").
The riper the fruit the better. We are natural frugivores, we like ripe fruit because it is good for us. Of course, when the fruit is so overripe that it gets gross then it is too ripe and the gross taste is your body warning you.
The video uses bananas as an example. Unripe bananas have a lot of starch, which is a complex sugar. Starch is difficult to digest for humans, because you need special enzymes to digest it and humans only have little of those enzymes. The undigested starch will attract fungus and is unhealthy to have in our body. that is why green bananas are gross to us.
But yellow bananas with black spots have almost no starch, they are easy to digest. The starch is broken down into simple sugars such as fructose. This is easy to digest and very healthy, that is why we are naturally attracted to it. If you ever wondered why humans have colour vision, get naturally hungry from the colour yellow (hence why yellow is common in restaurant logos), can climb trees, have the rare dexterity required to peel bananas, and are naturally attracted to sweet food such as bananas; it is because it is our natural food. And the sweeter and tastier your banana is (assuming it is ripe and pure), the healthier it is. No need to eat gross starchy bananas, let them ripe until they are at their tastiest, which is when they are yellow with black dots.
Fake doctor wth
More lies, your bodies preferred method of energy are ketones aka being in ketosis otherwise known as the keto diet. If what you said was correct everyone in northern climates would starve 3/4 of the year with no vegetables and fruit growing in cold climates. We are on to doctors BS now, everything you prescribe, the food pyramid have just made the west obese.
watch Dr. Robert Morse! he’s the best and all about fruits !
people hate hearing this but it’s true. thanks for posting!
That video ended so fast it makes me question its legitimacy
It’s call fiber for a reason
Keep Disliking guys
This video has no appropriate study lol
Your hurting people by telling them not to eat lots of fruit, dr robbert morse, Dr Sebi, Dr fhurman…Dr. Amen, you sir are spreading bad info
It’s not the same as refined sugar
B’s your fake science
This is garbage, get it removed bbc.
Obese fruitarian ? I have never seen one, never heard of one. I eat 70% fruit, 20% veg and the rest nuts and seeds, no grains , no meat, no fish, no processed food. Oh by the way, I am now 83 and still going strong and have eaten this way for over 60 years. Yes, I know what fructose is and I know what white table sugar is. I am convinced that the scaremongering about fruit consumption is not justified and I would be happy to be proven wrong. Another thing, the Chimps, our genetic brothers, would agree with me and not with the fruit bashers. Has anyone ever seen an obese Chimp ?
Modern fruit is not healthy guys. It will be the same as drinking pop all day. You will gain weight and get fatty liver if you eat too much fruit. Fruit should only be used as a dessert.
He is giving out misinformation.
see this is what i want when i search for something… a person who’s educated and well versed with the subject under discussion… a short and simple explanation… this is great! so simple yet highly informative <3
Fruits have high fiber which are very hard to digest so fruits should not be taken daily.
The sugar in apples is not the same as the sugar in can. The sugar in apple is healthy. Total misleading of info.
So every food is bad
Fruits are the perfect food for humans. There is no fruit thats bad. Just eat as much as u can, dont combine it with anything else. It will not spike ur sugar at all. I eat 3kg fruits everyday. My blood sugar stays below normal and I have left behind my prediabetic condition. So dont trust doctors if they say natural foods can be bad. They can never be, just enjoy the healing power of nature.
Be quiet, you dont know what your talking about
😏🤦♂️ Fruit sugar enters cells directly with no insulin response. Pure high vibrational clean energy, amd cleans the lymphatic system. It literally heals all. This guy is clueless. So much old $cience. Watch Dr morse who has a clue. And never trust a mainstream doctor who was schooled in the medical system with your dietary health. They just do not know what they are talking about and have the arrogance to say they do. You sir, are the weakest link. Good byw
You don’t have idea.
I had tried a diet only with fruits.
I was eating 3000 calories more than I need fruits.
I got shredded without even to restrict my calories.
