Fruit is BAD?? (7 Serious FRUCTOSE Facts) 2024

[@FernandoRaulAstrology]

Fruit was never meant to be 12 months a year in the supermarket. They were seasonal and humans ate them according to their natural flourishing cycles which were relegated to certain seasons of the year even when irrigated agriculture was developed. Fruit are nature's dessert.

[@KenDBerryMD]

Exactly correct. We ate as much fruit as we could in season to store as much fat as possible for the winter.

[@maranscandy9350]

KenDBerryMD Winter doesn’t exist anymore. Homes and businesses are conditioned to be about 75F year round. Edit: Fans of Sherlock Holmes didn’t get my point that modern air conditioning more or less counteracts natural seasonal fluctuations, which might not be such a good thing after eating all those carbs in late summer and fall.

[@dontfit6380]

Let’s not forget fruit also wasn’t what is is now. There wasn’t such a thing as a honey crisp apples that tastes like candy.

[@dontfit6380]

michelle case what fruits in nature have more sugar then commercial fruit that’s been specifically bred for high sugar content? I know of nothing in North America anyway. I really doubt our ancestors did that much with honey. Have you ever harvested wild honey not pleasant unless your trained how to do it. What wild syrup are you referring to with high sugar? Please enlighten me.

[@janetrock8905]

@michelle case we had wild blackberry fields in the city, I've had tiny potent wild strawberries, wild grapes growing all over in the '60s. None of it tasted sweet. It was sweet/tart. Pucker up sweet/tart.

My triglycerides were dangerously high, at 900😳😳, yes at 900. I started keto. Occasionally fruit, raw vegetables, alot of meat, and tons of good natural saturated fats( butter and Lard). I am still losing weight, but my muscle tone is firmer. Most importantly, my triglycerides went down to a low 140 because of Keto.

[@ordinalkirk]

@franciscomanonog9532 Your comment is very important. This is what I see as an adult cardiologist. People who eat daily fruit have high triglycerides. Sometimes very high. When they eliminate the fruit, the triglycerides normalize. No medication for high triglycerides is needed. Eating fruit daily manifests as high triglycerides, type 2 diabetes, weight gain and fatty liver - sometimes as just one of those or more than one.

[@zenrand688]

A couple of comments related to this video - one is that there’s a wide spectrum between having three fruit smoothies a day and a handful of blueberries. It would be more helpful if you could provide some recommendations somewhere in the middle ground between these two extremes. I have one fruit smoothie every morning with half a cup of blueberries and 4-6 medium/large strawberries and one fruit at lunch. I have suffered none of the stated effects of high fructose consumption. I have seen lots of videos decrying fructose and fruit consumption but most meta-studies I’ve seen show a positive correlation between eating fruit and lifespan/healthspan. Also, there’s generally a documented benefit to eating blueberries and apples (not the super-sweet variants out today). My other comment on this video is you list some studies supporting your claims, which is great - but it would be more helpful for you to actually summarize the studies in terms of quality and results and point to some of the key findings (beyond just the general claims you make). I believe part of the problem is you have to consider when and how fruit is being consumed - e.g. with protein or fat or other carbs or by itself. There’s also a gut component as you point out - lectin can be digested in the gut with a proper micriobiome - this component needs to be considered imo.

[@jimanoots7162]

This is so true. I suffered from gout for over twenty years. It wasn't until last year that I heard a doctor say that sugar interrupts the kidneys' ability to break down uric acid in the blood. Before that I was the smoothie king. Few people ate/drank more fruit than I did. I always thought "it's natural sugar so it can't be bad." Big mistake. I would go to the doctors in horrendous pain in one of my big toes or a knee and they would ask me what I was eating to cause such severe gout. I would tell tell them mostly fruit, some salads, a little bit of chicken or fish, and sometimes a bit of red meat. They would tell me to stop eating the meat, and always said, "fruit is fine." I've had gout attacks every single year since 1999. In 2014 I had two horrible gout attacks each lasting 90 days. No medicine worked. I was eating mostly fruits and grains, absolutely no meat, thinking that was good for me. In 2017 I had a particularly bad gout attack - both feet, I couldn't walk. I had to be brought to the hospital via ambulance because I literally couldn't put any weight on my feet. Things were that bad because I figured I would "flush the uric acid out of my system." How? - By drinking lots and lots of fruit juice for days at a time. Now I cringe at that. I can't count how many times I had a gout attack the day after having one of my mango/banana smoothies or eating a big piece of watermelon. But I never made the connection because every doctor I ever saw told me "fruit is fine, meat causes uric acid." Also, I lived in Central America for 9 years. I was in tropical fruit heaven, or so I thought. I ate so many mangos, papayas, bananas, and a dozen other tropical fruits that I'm sure damaged my liver and kidneys. I started getting gout at the age of 38 in 1999. I'm 60 now. I regret eating so much fruit and drinking so much fruit juice. When I was thirsty I never drank water - I would drink apple or coconut-pineapple juice. I don't touch the stuff now. No more smoothies, no more watermelon, no more grapes, no more pomegranates, etc. I don't miss fruit one bit and believe fruit is overrated by many people. I read a book in the early 1990's entitled, "Fit for Life." The authors extolled the virtues of eating fruit. Over the years the authors (then husband and wife) did not do well with regard to their health. - No wonder, they ate lots of fruit. That book was not the reason I ate so much fruit, but it did reinforce the notion that fruit is good for you. It's not. In fact, the fruit today has much more fructose than it did just a hundred years ago. Humans have not been eating these sugar balls for hundreds of thousands or millions of years. This is a recent introduction to the human diet. The only fruit I will eat now is an occasional apricot. Unless people have had it, they don't understand how painful gout can be. And mine was particularly bad because of my ignorance. I wish there were more doctors like this one; he understands how destructive fructose is.

They are all the same. They contradict him without ever substantiating evidence to strengthen their claims or weaken Dr Berry's claims. Some go so far as to say that he is making it up or providing the opposite. Then they go so far as to say that anyone who reports their personal progress is somehow wrong because they learned that anecdotal information is arbitrarily invalid for some reason. My understanding is either they have a vested interest in ensuring that we keep eating the very foods that make us sick or they loathe the fact that we are taking matters into our own hands and making the choices to reclaim our health.

I did that same route he mentioned in this video. I ate veggies, greens and fruit smoothies. After a health crisis I went vegetarian thinking it was the 'healthiest' diet. And then I did a stent of veganism which was extremely hard. After that I ate Paleo strongly plant based. Granted I may have developed leaky gut from years prior of eating the SAD (Standard American Diet which turns out is really as Sad American Diet) but what I learned is that diet choices are huge for health and for how we look and feel. When eating vegetarian my Triglycerides and VLDL were within normal 'conventional' ranges. Since going Paleo Triglycerides are now close to 60 (optimal) having dropped from 97 and my VLDL was lowered from 19 to 14. I learned the hard way that plants can harm health. First I noticed that bread was not agreeing with me and my doctor tested for Coeliac disease aka Celiac disease. While I did not test positive for Celiac he strongly suggested I go gluten free for 3 to 6 months to see if my stomach pain ceased. It did in short order so I've been off gluten for 10+ years. I noticed that many people I know who had also 'cleaned' up their diet and went 'vegetarian' were still struggling with health issue. I went on to identify 'Nightshade 'foods (main ones are tomato, potato, eggplant, peppers (not black pepper) and paprika (made from peppers), high histamine foods, lectins, oxalates and salicylates were all causing me symptoms. Bottom line I learned that all foods have pros and cons to each individual person's system and it is best to keep learning and experimenting to see what foods and food plan will fuel each person the best. That being said, I believe diet while important it is way down on the list of more Important health factors. For cutting edge health information I also follow the work of neurosurgeon, Dr. Jack Kruse MD I think this is Dr Kruse's order of importance. 1. SUNLIGHT and LIGHT - Taken in the correct ways! 2. Circadian Rhythm Light viewing behavior has the biggest influence on Circadian Rhythm. We need to get bright light into the eyes first thing in the morning, Sun and then full spectrum lighting. It does two things it triggers healthy levels of cortisol which promotes wakefulness and the ability to focus throughout the day.

That very day, because of you, I knew exactly what to do here six months later on the KETO diet my glucose is 96 to 105 every morning and my Ketons in the morning are .8 to 3.8 range.

Reason #4 speaks to me. It's really about ADDICTION. When I deviated from the carnivore diet by including apples, it was often 2 or 3 per day. For some of us, moderation is difficult, so just saying no is simpler. Thank you for another timely video, Dr. Berry.

I think that out of all the fruits, that Apples are one of the best as they contain a lot of fiber.

[@TerriblePerfection]

@@Dazzwidd I had one today! And yesterday. And probably tomorrow. I'm weak. 😂

[@Dazzwidd]

@@TerriblePerfection I don't know why you think that makes you weak. Are you overweight? I would say that people can get way too anal with this stuff. Consider this, "Oooo! the liver processes fructose like it does alcohol! That's sooo bad!" Now consider this: It's about quantities. Your liver is there to deal with these things and is quite a large organ for this reason. It's also very resilient and regenerates surprisingly well. How much fructose is required to equal say, a shot of vodka in terms of liver impact? I think you'd find you'd need to eat more than a few apples to level up with that shot. Some people also drink a BOTTLE of vodka for many years before they develop herpatic issues. If you're fairly healthy, the fiber and other goodies in apples are going to way more help you than do harm. They weren't lieing when they said an apple a day keeps the doctor away and even three wouldn't be that bad.

[@TerriblePerfection]

@@Dazzwidd Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I'm actually quite thin, but after hearing so much about the dangers of fructose I am trying to avoid it. You're probably right that a few apples won't lead to metabolic dysfunction; but on the other hand, I'm now suspicious of adages such as "...an apple a day..." because so much of what we thought we knew is wrong. But yes, I should lighten up.

Great idea for the gym to keep customers coming back as they’d have a hard time losing weight. I haven’t had any fruit for over 2 years, was planning on having some wild blueberries this August, however, didn’t get any. I’ve been low carb since January 2014 and keto since 2018. Loving it. I got rid of debilitating hip bursitis, normalized blood pressure, rosacea gone, gerd gone and so much more. Thank you Dr. Berry for all your informative videos.

So I have to tell them what I've learned so far. You can imagine how hard it is to change their habits.

It doesn't seem like fruit is a serious problem for most people. As long as you don't do anything crazy like go on a mostly fruit or frugivore diet.

This mostly happened when I was out in public :( One time the dizziness and faint feeling also included a pain in my head and my vision went dark. I didn’t get this checked but months later I started to experience neurological symptoms. I had an MRI which showed a white spot on my right occipital lobe. Not sure what it is exactly yet (my doctor doesn’t know and I’m waiting to see a neurologist) but my research tells me I may have had a silent stroke. Not sure if this is why I’m have neurological systems, or why I have the white spot (also suspecting MS), but what I do know now is that a high fruit diet is extremely dangerous, at least for me.

However, she dons a disingenuous smile all the time, whilst eating bananas throughout the day. The argument was regarding the fact that eating a snickers bar is the same as eating that banana. She scoffed at the notion, and tried to tell me that her bananas are simple carbs that the body digest better. I retorted that, sure, that may the long term case when it comes to absorption of nutrients and digestion, however, the initial insulin spike and pancreatic response is still the same. This was met with passive aggressive anger, as she continued to smirk in the most insecure of fashion, and unprofessionally started to dismiss me at every cost. Let this be a lesson to those suffering from obesity and delusional thinking. Fruit is not your friend. Just remember, you can order a happy meal and I’m sure there’s a few vitamins in there too. To be realistic though, are the vitamins in fruit worth it to you for the taxing it does to your body as a whole? Think about that.

Excellent!!!!!! Well explained. It is really a striking differnce between the "diet recommendations" and really healthy food. Most people have a hard time to understand that diet recommendations are, almost always, 180 degrees in the wrong direction...... I will share this with my friends.

[@thehogjazz7598]

First, let me say I appreciate your advice and consider it helpful. For me, when it comes to my residual love handles and fatty liver, keto alone did not do it … and I started strictly 2 years ago. Carnivore alone did not do it, started 1 year ago. Mind you I have been on the same workout for a few years (biking, yoga) When I made my carbs a day only fruit (an apple, blueberries), along with Kefir, in the summer of 2022 I started noticing amazing energy for workout and sleep and mental clarity. I also switched to one table spoon of honey in my coffee in the morning. I keep my two meals a day (10am to 6). I am 49 and had a high liver panel even in my 20's. My recent bloodwork and liver panel has never been as good in my life as it is today. In fact, my last wellness checkup in the fall showed the best liver panel I have ever had as an adult. My doctor is floored. In fact, I was born with a heart problem I had fixed and never got better than 130/90 on Losartan. Now, my blood pressure is 121/78. My doctor told me that it would take eating a 100 grams of fructose a day to hurt my liver and an apple only has 6-8 grams. A month ago I eliminated all seed oils from my diet and I am now noticing muscle growth I never had before. My family are astounded! I look and feel better than I did in my 20s. I get what your saying but CarnivoreMD and Dr. Anthony Chaffee are on to something. Strangely enough my arthritis has disappeared. Fruit over plants helped me and did not increase my craving. Chances are if you are always hungry you are intaking seed oils and processed foods that you think are keto friendly. Finally, I will add that the reason that you doctors are all helping us is because your basically teaching us not to eat everything all at once 24 hours a day. That is the biggest problem with America … everything cheap and fast at any hour of the day. My belief in God, I do believe he gave us some fruit and plants to eat … just not with a sedentary lifestyle.

I dont kow about america but here in Greece my one of grand grandparents, three of my grandmothers and both of my grand parents and grant mothers lived from to 92 the youngest till 97 the oldest. Generaly they didn't used to eat alot, they were active and loved socializing till they died but they used to ate a lot of fish, drink a glass of wine two three times per week and ate a lot of fruits also almost everyday. I cann't prove it but in my experience from what i saw and ate in the US when is was there the problem isn't the "food" per se but the food you have there and most importantly the way you live in general.

[@ThemisDimitriou]

The fruits of today are nowhere near close to those that our grandparents had. Today industrial production made apples and oranges to fell like candy. I still remember the taste of oranges 30 years ago in Greece and they closer to a lemon today. That said, I generally disagree with the Dr. Berry, it sounds like he puts all fruits to the same basket, bananas and smoothies are not the same with pear and grapes. Moderation is the key anyway.

[@terryjames548]

If you are not eating other forms of sugar that’s fine. The problem in the US is there are so many foods with sugar in them that people in Greece never see. Older people had healthier diets, too. Dr. Berry does say otherwise a little fruit is fine.

I found through the elimination diet that I can not digest some types of sugars and therefore some types of food. It only took me five years if diarrhea to figure this out.

[@markiangooley]

I’ve been a type 1 diabetic for 50 years. For a few months I used fructose as a sugar substitute because it doesn’t raise blood sugar much. I forget why I quit that, but I’m glad I did, long before I learned about the big drawbacks to it. When agave syrup became fashionable years later, I soon learned how high it is in fructose and never had much. Fortunately.

[@queeenpeechez]

Pure monk fruit powder is 200 times sweeter than any sugar and it will not raise your sugar levels

[@haany123]

Do you distinguish a difference between eating fructose with fiber (i.e. fruit) and then all other types of fructose? There seems to be research out there suggesting that the fiber in fruit reduces the negative effects you mentioned, would you agree?

[@TechHead03]

I would agree... The soluble and insoluble fibres in an apple or orange for example reform in your digestive system after you chewed them in your mouth... This slows down the rate of glucose and fructose absorption so that your gut bugs get some energy from your food too... Some keto people would have you believe that the entire amount of carbs (which is only 14g) in a small apple will go straight into your bloodstream... That is nonsense... However, if you drink apple juice (which has the fibre removed) then you are probably getting a few apples worth of sugar which would likely overwhelm the liver, especially if you are not training. Highly trained muscle will suck up lots of sugar no problem. In fairness, these Keto Docs aren't really aiming their message to jacked, muscular athletes.

[@eldictator1]

Yeah, it’s pretty disingenuous to say fructose in fruit equals fruit bad..

[@XOChristianaNicole]

@@TechHead03 - I have had gastric bypass and most of my stomach removed - result of undiagnosed kidney/adrenal issues, in childhood; in combination with long-term exposure to cortisol/stress leading to morbid obesity, in my teens, from being unknowingly autistic, living in an immensely abusive and neglectful environment. Because of how I am reorganized, internally, if I eat too much of a combo of fat/sugar/caffeine, and food digests too quickly - I get what’s called “Dumping syndrome.” It’s INCREDIBLY similar to diabetic hypoglycemia/low blood sugar symptoms. My body can’t handle the overload, so, it “dumps” ALL the nutrients - hence, low blood sugar symptoms. The ONLY thing that stops it, almost immediately? Apples. It seems to slow down the digestion of what has, yet, to be digested - as well as provide me with the appropriate amount of nutrients, requiring replacement. Also, fresh oranges really help my stomach sensitivities, if I eat something too heavy - especially meat and fat.

[@samroxeva]

I immediately caught that too. Fruit is complete in its original form. But when you start processing and diluting it, you run into problems. An orange is great, orange juice is typically loaded with added sugars. Same with most fruit juices.
