[@dawnelder9046]

I think as an odd treat, just fine. Fresh, wild blueberries are great. You must beat the bears to them. The old food guidelines limit it to two servings a day. Still way beyond what I eat. I go weeks without any fruit, which matches up with nature. But still have the odd bit. Now you have people who put 5 to 10 servings in a blender and drink it for breakfast. And think it is healthy. Then snack on fruit during the day.

I used to drink orange juice by the quart nearly daily. It's smashed up oranges (fruit), right? "Eat your fruits and veggies" they said, to stay healthy. Well, don't be fooled by that notion! When your doc says to lose weight and avoid sugary drinks, alcohol, etc. because of your fatty liver, that INCLUDES fruit juice. Fruit juice IS FRUCTOSE, and is actually terrible for you if you have any metabolic syndrome, overweight, or fatty liver, etc. Just putting that out there for anyone else, because my doc never mentioned fruit juice and I did not think it was harmful until I was told I have fatty liver with moderate fibrosis.

Thanks for this! Wearing a glucose monitor, I never understood why my blood sugar would absolutely spike in the morning when I woke up. Now it makes sense - my insulin resistance is causing this.

[@MP-hw6sx]

How did you control? My mom doesn’t eat fruits and sugar at night

[@Dostav]

Insulin resistance isn't really a disease. Raised blood sugar by the liver in the morning is just a sign that your liver wants to burn fats. So you just have to fast or do keto while, or start intermittent fasting by skipping meals, that blood sugar in the morning is very convenient for that.

[@JnIII16]

Stop eating sugar (other than fruit in moderation), stop eating flour/ultra-processed products...eventually the need for medications won't be necessary. Do not rely on a doctor to convince you medication is necessary (they are paid off by big pharma to promote medications), they (doctors) need you on medication to maintain their lifestyle. I grew up with a doctor (step-father) and he was always traveling on big pharma expense to attend seminars about thier new drugs...I started IF, cut out sugar/flour, do cold water therapy and eat organic...50 y/o male, 32" waist (was 36") and feel amazing.

I have been taking a potassium supplement twice a day with my meals to control my blood pressure and help prevent edema. Guess what? It seems to be working. I would never have thought about this but I was in the hospital last year getting full blood work done daily. My potassium was chronically low and they would not discharge me from.the hospital until my potassium levels were raised. (Sodium and glucose levels are normal.) No idea why my diet can' t keep a good potassium intake I am trying to improve that, but will supplement until I get it figured out. I do eat sugar, but in limited amounts, I don' t eat it regularly.

I knew something was wrong so I stopped eating 3-4 oranges a day, and there you go- that's what it was, but the damage was done; Gallbladder issues, liver issues equals digestion problems, plus menopause. So a complete body/organ detox was a must. I learned about the endocrine system watching Dr. Berg's videos, and 1 year later 90 lbs lighter by a new eating and fasting reset to learn what my body responds to. I am smaller now than I was when I had my last baby in 1985, and It is so easy to maintain, and lose now since I have the knowledge of understanding. Thanks to God for leading me to Doctor Berg.

If someone does not have a metabolic problem and practices fasting and never consumes modern junk food.

An obervation from living in the tropics regarding fruit - we often focus on sugar and nutrients - but fruit is mostly water right? Nowadays that doesnt matter but back then; a source of water wasn't always around. So, eating fruit could have a hydrating benefit right? This video mentioned that fructose makes the body hold onto water; which could be beneficial in the environment where the human can only find fruit for water. This may sound absurd but in the tropics; there are multiple fruits that drop and ripen during the driest time of year. Mango is a great example.

It strikes me that the time of year when, as hunter gatherers, we were more likely to have access to fructose was in the fall, when fruit was ripest. That was also the time of year when it would be most important to store calories for the winter. BTW--I prefer the pronunciation of fructose where the first syllable rhymes with "luck." I suspect that marketers have promoted the other pronunciation to associate HFCS with fruit. That's a bit misleading.

I am always confused about fruits . Do they have fructose? If yes than berries which always the doctors recommend to eat ? Should we ?

[@alisonmerrell7738]

Your Berry family is all low in fructose...so are apples

[@alisonmerrell7738]

If I eat fruit I eat all berries apples and citrus fruits

[@helenevion5948]

A nutrients app show the amount of different sugars for each fruits. Like Cronometer.

Dr Berg, could you please do a video about anhidrosis treatment? I rarely sweat and get heat rashes in summer. But I’m not B12 deficient according to my most recent physical checkup. What should I do to declog sweat glands? Thank you!

I eat a bowl of mixed fruits like apples, blueberries and black grapes with oats and milk with nuts every morning. My uric acid levels are normal and blood pressure is 110/70. I am 35 years of age. But I do tend to find loosing weight difficult. Should one just stop eating fruits?

[@Dostav]

You may continue to eat them if you wish, but firstly you have to fast to remove the fat in in your liver that you've accumulated from previously consumed sugar. Store - burn, store - burn, that's how you consume sugar.

[@helenevion5948]

Some of his videos on loosing weight may help but you should also check his videos on low blood pressure. Since removing some sugars is likely to lower blood pressure.

You should interview Paul Saladino he seems to think different about fruit

Paul should concentrate on Salad y no?

Dr Berg, can you take too much vitamin D3 pills?

[@helenevion5948]

No but see his videos on D3 toxicity and on D3 absorption.

[@barry5787]

Try telling people that fruit is in no way your best friend and the worst thing about your burger is the bun or that the butter on your bread is not the issue and even though nature's bees have a hand in it, honey is still sugar, they look at you as if you've just landed from Mars. It's going to take a long time. Thanks for the video, top drawer as usual.

Dr berg im consuming the milk kefir kale and blueberries for fatty liver as you suggested but blueberries are high in fructose ..? Im confused ..

Wondering if you'd ever talk about testosterone replacement therapy for us men over 65. A lot of people my age are taking some form of testosterone gel or cream. See it advertised quite a bit yet don't really have any great information from someone like you. Appreciate your videos and all of your efforts

[@kennixox262]

I'm not over 65, but not far behind. Diet and exercise regained my levels. I can't speak for other people on that. The "diet" part is pretty much what this channel discusses, a good healthy keto and IF.

Hey doctor, random question. I'm doing a no carb no sugar diet, there are trace amounts of sugar in the seed butter I eat- will that disrupt ketosis? Is there a specific amount of sugar you'd suggest to stay under? The only sweet I'm eating is sunflower and almond butter-

[@Dostav]

Don't be that scared of those sugars. Sunflower seeds for example have already a lot fats and pretty good amount of fiber. All that stuff slows down absorption of sugars in them, so you can basically eat as much as you want of them. I can eat sunflower seeds for more that an hour, and feel perfectly fine. Experiment with your diet, a bit of sugar won't hurt

5:40 if insulin resistance is a form of protection then should we be taking berberine?

[@pameladunn7346]

is there a home way of testing for potassium levels ?

[@Dostav]

Potassium is stored in almost every body cell and only 1-2% of it circulates in your blood. So no, there is no such a test. But symptoms of potassium deficiency are very easy to define, Dr. Berg has a lot of videos about that. One of most common ones is night leg cramps.

[@farukfidan8195]

Dear. Dr Berg, i really appreciate your videos which are indeed helpful. i am 40 years old man, i do IF 16/8. i have diabetis type 2 history from my parents. I am to take Metformin due to the fact that i heard and read very positive things about it. Would you recommend it? Could you please make us a video regarding Metformin according to new studies. Thanks in advance

[@helenevion5948]

Some of his videos on diabetes type 2 and on metformin and on cholesterol may help.

[@juliatshamoun4666]

Actually We can squeeze lemon or lime if you eat fruits 😋

[@darkfieldcarnivore3928]

Gluconeogenesis is actually limited by insulin which is why carb eaters get desperately hungry as the glucose levels drop.

[@lida4ever]

For keto genitic diet, usually everyone recommend avacado, but how many fructose does avacado has?

[@Drberg]

Here's a video that may help! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2mTp3SVbbJ9h6s Dr. Berg's Support Team.

[@stevenjacks9966]

Yep. I can easily maintain low body fat while consuming some starches. However, I will begin gaining fat immediately if I consume more than a teaspoon or two of sugar, honey, or equivalent amount of fruit.

[@bushpig6837]

Potassium is sodium sparring (and vice versa) which explains how we got away with less sodium when less was available.

[@CarbageMan]

One more thing about uric acid: it can hasten cognitive dysfunction, even in lower amounts than cause gout. For more, consider reading "Drop Acid" by Dr David Perlmutter.

[@kennyeverett3201]

Dr Berg, I’m T2 diabetic on metformin. I’ve had the runs everyday for the past few years. My GP says that metformin is the cause and there’s not much we can do about it. Is there something I can do?

[@cleocatra9324]

Either improve your blood sugar naturally ( try cinnamon) so you don’t need the meds. Try keto coconut macaroons made with / almond flour a lot of people swear they help chronic diarrhea
