I go over scientific studies on how fruit and fruit juice intake affect your health, particularly in terms of inflammation, insulin …

There seems to be some confusionâas I specified throughout the video, my focus was on randomized controlled trials (and I specified whenever a study was not). Randomized controlled trials are a class of particularly high quality EXPERIMENTS, which are by definition not correlational or associations. Experiments, such as randomized controlled trials, are how we establish cause and effect (aka causality). If you donât believe me, itâs easy to Google.
Just discovered this channel. The internet needs more people like you–people who can read and comprehend the literature on nutrition and simplify it for us. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the video! A topic I thought would be another great idea for you to cover is the question⊠Does it make a difference when we eat in regards to when we work out, specifically weight trading for increasing muscle mass, when it can take several days to eliminate/absorb what we eat?
Why should someone at a northern latitude, eat oranges and kiwis? It makes no sense, these fruits don't grow at such latitudes. People should only eat seasonal fruits and foods, otherwise this will deregulate the circadian rhythm. It confuses the organism, as visual photoreceptors tells the organism we are in northern latitude and non-visual photoreceptors will tell the body that we are in the tropics, this is not good, specially when we don't get in the sun and are constaly surrounded by nnEMFs. Do we need a study to know that if we touch the fire we will get burned?!
Nature's capacity of wisdom always exceeds Man's capacity of knowledge.
Why do you not cite the studies? Are they epidemiological studies? Are they actually valid? 50% of studies will be junk. Who were the participants? . What was their overall diet? Is there Healthy user bias? Epidemiology is the weakest science of all the modalities. Pushing fruit juice is crazy if the rest of the diet or lifestyle is not addressed. Your bias is apparent. I am a fan of berries and many plant extracts but juice? In what context and dietary parameter? Context matters.
Iâm on a plant based diet! I eat fruit everyday! In my oatmeal! In my smoothie! I used to be afraid of fruit with carbs! Being on keto! Iâm enjoying fruits! Oatmeal again! That diet isnât healthy
It is sad that we need studies like this because people are brainwashed by anti-carb or pro-high meat or high fat diets into thinking that all carbs are the same and that source doesn't matter.
I cannot tell you how many times I have seen articles that have zero granularity and talk about carbs like this "Did you know that two apples has as much carbs as a can of soda?" and then they get into an entire article that just is carbs = sugar only and all carbs are the exact same as refined white sugar or high fructose corn syrup.
Just checked Cronometer and the fruit per day that I eat gives me 252 grams of carbs of which 35 grams is from fiber, 49 grams is from starch (of which there many), with the rest being a mix of fructose, sucrose, glucose. Then all the other goodness that comes along for the ride.
But anti-carb people would see my 252 grams of "carbs" as if it is sugar and that it is the same as if I just drank 86.4 fluid ounces of Coca Cola, or just ate 1.25 cups (60 teaspoons) of granulated white sugar.
Saturated fats plug cells, digestion, and arteries. Fruits and vegetables offer the very best nutrition for the human anatomy without question. However, comparing fruit and commercial fruit juice is silly. Fruit juice is loaded with sugar.
Wow! A big thumbs up for you on this one. This one is so relevant for me. My wife has heard from the American Hear Assoc, Cleveland Clinic, etc., that someone like me should have only about 2 -3 servings of fruit per day. With all the other things I have cut out, my diet is very spartan and difficult. If I can eat more fruit it would make it more tolerable. It appears that I can. So, you can bet I am going to show her this one, but I can hear her now. You are just a YouTuber and they are the gold standard and there is no way I can have more than two servings of fruit per day. What do you say about your findings vs the Cleveland Clinic, et al.?
Also, when youâre talking about berries, are you referring to commercially defined berries or botanically defined berries? For example, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries arenât berries while fruits like watermelon, pumpkins, and other gourds are botanically classified as berries.
Are the juices fresh squeezed or store bought in jars or cartons? Usually, the latter are loaded with extra sugar on top of the existing fructose that comes with the juice.

30 Bananas a day â
Very helpful, inmidst this keto-hype nowadays.
Thank you! â€
Thanks for this video. Can you do a video on the effects of fructose in our bodies?
Can you do a video about juicing?

Ugh…. why'd I eat that tenth banana….đ”âđ«

Great video!! I was wondering if you could do a similar deep dive on vegetables. Is there a âsweet spotâ for vegetables too?
The answer is "No".
Mind shattering video! I always thought drinking. fruit juice will give you diabetes. What about tomato juice? Any studies on that?

Doesnt matter how many RCTs you show. Associative data cannot inform on causality

Love your well researched content. Ever since I found your channel, I am actually enjoyed food
Good, since I eat about 3lbs of fruit per day.
