Children learn from infancy how healthy it is and that it should be an everyday part of a balanced diet. However, despite its reputation, <strong>fruit has become the target of many myths in<\/strong> <strong>recent years<\/strong>, which have caused many people to stop eating it. In today&#8217;s article, we will focus on what misleading information is being disseminated about fruit and set the record straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_1_Fruit_contains_sugar_which_is_why_it_makes_you_put_on_weight\"><\/span>Myth 1: Fruit contains sugar, which is why it makes you put on weight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This myth has probably begun to spread among a community of people who feel that only <strong>bad sugar is responsible for gaining<\/strong> <strong>weight<\/strong>. Our model wife, Edwina, is part of this group. Since sugar is naturally present in fruit, <strong>she cut it out of her diet, as well as<\/strong> <strong>many other sweets<\/strong> she had previously been eating. What happens next? One of the following scenarios are likely to occur:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Possibility 1:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwina has a diet built on sugar. She loves pastries, sweets, chocolates, fruit, cupcakes and strawberry dumplings. When <strong>sugar in all its forms is cut from her diet, she doesn&#8217;t know what<\/strong> <strong>to eat<\/strong>. She discovers that meat and cottage cheese do not contain sugar, so these ingredients start to form the basis of her diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What happens?<\/strong> She falls into a <strong>calorie deficit and loses weight<\/strong>. But Edwina doesn&#8217;t know what an energy balance is so she believes that she lost weight by eliminating &#8216;bad&#8217; sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What follows next?<\/strong> This strict diet can&#8217;t last long. She&#8217;ll quit the strict diet sooner or later and <strong>return to her old habits<\/strong>. The shed kilos will come back, and a few more on top of that. This, once again, reinforces the misconception that sugar is responsible for gaining weight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Possibility 2:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwina starts <strong>avoiding sugar and replaces it with fat<\/strong>. She had read that with a<span style=\"color: #ff6600\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/low-carb-vs-low-fat-what-is-better-for-weight-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"low carbohydrate or ketogenic diet (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">low carbohydrate or ketogenic diet<\/a><\/span>, weight loss was best.

However, this has 120 kcal, which is approximately 2.5 times higher. She also starts replacing fruit. Instead of 100g of apple, which has 61 kcal, she&#8217;ll have 30g of <a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/cashew-nuts-gymbeam.html\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"cashew nuts  (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">cashew nuts<\/span> <\/a>although they have 165 kcal. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[1]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What will happen?<\/strong> With these replacements, Edwina will <strong>inadvertently increase her intake<\/strong>, causing weight gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What follows next?<\/strong> Edwina decides she&#8217;s a lost cause and nothing works for her. Returning resignedly to her normal diet, she tells her friend over a coffee and cupcake that her <span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/could-your-metabolism-have-slowed-down-or-be-damaged-5-tips-for-accelerating-your-metabolism\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">metabolism may be malfunctioning<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is it in reality?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is true that we find naturally occurring sugar in fruit. Specifically, <strong>sucrose disaccharide<\/strong> <strong>and glucose monosaccharides<\/strong> <strong>and fructose<\/strong>. But it also contains <strong>water<\/strong>, <span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/minerals-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">minerals<\/a><span style=\"color: #000000\">,<\/span><\/strong> <strong><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/vitamins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">vitamins<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, <strong>antioxidants<\/strong>, <strong>and <span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/fiber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">fibre<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, which cannot be said for ultra-processed sweets. It is also important to mention that glucose and fructose in fruit bind to fibre, which also <strong>slows<\/strong> <strong>the increase in blood sugar levels<\/strong>. With stable glycaemic levels, you won&#8217;t have a reach for something yummy so often. It is therefore best to eat fruit as a whole and not to get rid of the skin (for example, for pears or apples). <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[2]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It is <strong>not only sugar<\/strong> that determines whether a person loses weight or gains weight. It&#8217;s too small a fish for that. Energy balance plays a major role. If Edwina eats more energy in general than her body can burn during the day, she will gain weight. And it doesn&#8217;t matter if she eats fruit or not. Given the calorie content, however, you might want to think twice about what you enjoy: <strong>100g strawberries &#8211; 32 kcal X 100g milk chocolate &#8211; 532 kcal.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the results of scientific research will convince you of the benefits of fruit. According to these, we achieve the greatest health benefits from <strong>fruit and vegetables at an intake of 800g per<\/strong> <strong>day<\/strong>. This amount is then linked to <strong>prevention of heart and<\/strong> <strong>blood vessel diseases<\/strong>. And, as we know, these problems often afflict obese or overweight people. So there is no need to be afraid of fruit even if you already have an extra kilo onboard. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[3]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1183057304-1124x749.jpg\" alt=\"Myth: Fruit contains sugar, which is why it makes you fat\" class=\"wp-image-287968\" style=\"width:843px;height:562px\" title=\"Myth: Fruit contains sugar, which is why it makes you fat\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1183057304-1124x749.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1183057304-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1183057304-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1183057304-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_2_In_the_afternoon_and_evening_fruit_automatically_adds_weight\"><\/span>Myth 2: In the afternoon and evening, fruit automatically adds weight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This myth is not as strict on fruit intake as the previous one. It does not completely forbid eating it, but draws attention to the <strong>apparent danger of eating it in the afternoon and evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So how would an apple behave according to the time Edwina eats it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Apple at 10 am:<\/strong> &#8220;Perfect time to eat me.

Edwina, you should be ashamed. I&#8217;ll give it back to you and store it all in the form of fat. You&#8217;ll stare in wonder!&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Does this look like a real scenario to you? Me either, even Edwina doesn&#8217;t seem to think so, when she truly thinks about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is it in reality?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This myth is probably based on the erroneous reasoning that if you eat fruit in the afternoon or evening, you might not have much of an outlet for the rest of the day, so you get the impression that you would gain weight from it. <strong>Fruit sugar is an<\/strong> <strong>almost instantaneous source of energy<\/strong>. That doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s fatty if you don&#8217;t go and exercise right away. Again, the <strong>energy<\/strong> <strong>surplus<\/strong> ultimately determines the storage of excess energy. If you eat more calories than you need to maintain weight, the excess energy from the fruit will be stored. But so would excess energy from meat, rice, vegetables, or a miracle diet shake. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[4]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps, then, Edwina should reconsider. Is it really the banana for an afternoon snack or handful of blueberries after dinner that is cause for her extra kilos? Or is it the <strong>pecan pastry for breakfast<\/strong> <strong>downed with a pumpkin latte with whipped cream that<\/strong> <strong>is at fault?<\/strong> It may surprise you that these two goodies can add up to 800 kcal.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"745\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/andrew-welch-i5Crg4KLblY-unsplash-1124x745.jpg\" alt=\"Myth: If you eat fruit in the afternoon or evening you automatically gain weight\" class=\"wp-image-287982\" style=\"width:843px;height:559px\" title=\"Myth: If you eat fruit in the afternoon or evening you automatically gain weight\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/andrew-welch-i5Crg4KLblY-unsplash-1124x745.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/andrew-welch-i5Crg4KLblY-unsplash-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/andrew-welch-i5Crg4KLblY-unsplash-1536x1018.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/andrew-welch-i5Crg4KLblY-unsplash-2048x1358.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_3_Fruit_is_best_in_the_form_of_a_detox_juice_or_smoothie\"><\/span>Myth 3: Fruit is best in the form of a detox juice or smoothie<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you, like Edwina, fall amongst those people drawn to anything that says <strong>detox, cleansing, or weight loss?<\/strong> What about when Edwina walks past a fruit juice stand where she sees a detox cleansing weight-loss drink? That&#8217;s when her wallet opens on its own, and she feels she just has to have this, no matter what it takes. Who wouldn&#8217;t want to cleanse their body of parasites and other negative influences and thus start shedding excess kilos, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After drinking it, Edwina feels<strong> full of energy<\/strong> and tells herself that it is finally starting to work.

Often you will find only <strong>fruit, or celery or spinach,<\/strong> which will take care of the <strong>green<\/strong> <strong>colour<\/strong> and thus promote the <strong>illusion of a miraculous detox<\/strong>. But the surge of energy after drinking a fruity detox smoothie is not caused by Edwina ridding herself of parasites and speeding up her metabolism. The solution is much simpler &#8211; the <strong>energy received in the form of sugar from the fruit<\/strong> is responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One such detox smoothie from a popular chain contains <strong>2.5 apples, orange, carrot, celery and ginger.<\/strong> It even promises miraculous effects &#8211; to rid the body of pollutants, to kick-start and boost the metabolism, to bind to toxic substances thanks to the pectin in apples, and to lead them away from the body with the excess water. At the same time, celery is supposed to clean the digestive system and destroy infections in the kidneys and urinary tract. Unfortunately, reality is different.<span style=\"color: #ff6600\"> [5]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of a miraculous drink, you&#8217;ll probably get <strong>more than 300 kcal and 70g of sugar.<\/strong> In addition, the juice is stripped of fibre and other beneficial substances from the peel. They probably won&#8217;t fill you up that much and won&#8217;t bind as many pollutants to itself as a whole fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So you&#8217;re much better off enjoying a whole piece and the peel than depriving yourself of a large number of beneficial ingredients. Our organs work<strong> 24 hours a day<\/strong> to detox, and they really don&#8217;t need <span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/detox-how-will-it-change-your-life-in-10-days\/?utm_source=facebook&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=COM-FBNF-blog\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">wannabe miracle drinks<\/a><\/span> to do it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this does not mean that you have to avoid different fruit juices or smoothies.

So there was no reason not to believe it. Fruit is said to have a <strong>detoxifying effect<\/strong>. The fact that the stomach is empty makes the cleansing effect even greater. Edwina wanted to know more, so she started looking it up on Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Another big surprise was some other &#8220;advice found&#8221; regarding eating fruit on an empty stomach:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A larger number of pears for breakfast can cause an overly aggressive cleansing effect and irritate the gastric mucosa.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eating a banana on an empty stomach can fluctuate potassium levels, unnecessarily burdening the heart.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eating citrus fruits on an empty stomach can irritate the stomach, cause heartburn, cause diarrhoea or skin problems. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is it in reality?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As for detox, we can refer back to the previous point. For example, a drug addict needs a detox, not someone who hasn&#8217;t eaten healthily in a few days. <strong>Our liver, lungs, skin, lymphatic system and many other organs are taking care of our non-stop<\/strong> <strong>detoxification<\/strong>. Without them, not even the consumption of fruit daily could save us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Also bear in mind that <strong>fruit contains the same ingredients in it at all times of the day<\/strong>. The body doesn&#8217;t really care when you eat it. Yes, there is chrono &#8211; nutrition according to circadian rhythms, which examines the differences in food intake at different times of day. The functioning of so-called morning larks and night owls may thus be slightly different. However, these are not transformational differences that would change your life. If fruit on an empty stomach doesn&#8217;t cause you any trouble, then happily do not deny yourself of it. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[6-7]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A banana can be a great light breakfast, for example, if you go for a run in the morning and don&#8217;t want to go on a completely empty stomach. It will give you <strong>energy quickly in the form of natural<\/strong> <strong>sugar and will not burden digestion<\/strong>. In addition, if you start eating fruit first thing in the morning, you are more likely to manage to <strong>eat enough of it<\/strong> during the day. It is generally recommended for adults to eat around 200g of fruit and 400g of vegetables every day. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[6-7]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1235849112-1124x749.jpg\" alt=\"Myth: Fruit should only be eaten on an empty stomach\" class=\"wp-image-287998\" style=\"width:843px;height:562px\" title=\"Myth: Fruit should only be eaten on an empty stomach\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1235849112-1124x749.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1235849112-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1235849112-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1235849112-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_5_Frozen_preserved_and_lyophilised_fruits_contain_no_beneficial_substances\"><\/span>Myth 5: Frozen, preserved and lyophilised fruits contain no beneficial substances<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After reading the previous points, Edwina ceases to be afraid of fruit. But she&#8217;s still hesitant about what form is best. Ever since she was a little girl, her parents told her to pick fresh food, that canned food wasn&#8217;t healthy. So she thinks fruit is no exception. Similarly, Edwina rejects other forms. For freeze-dried fruit, she assumes that even beneficial substances will disappear.

This is particularly the case when you bring it from the shop and leave it at home for a while. It should be noted that it was <strong>already stored<\/strong> before it reached the supermarket shelves.

It is <strong>picked at peak<\/strong> <strong>ripeness<\/strong>, when it is frozen. As it does not go through the storage process, it has no time to lose important nutrients. It is typically <strong>blanched<\/strong> before freezing. This destroys any micro-organisms that could spoil the fruit. However, all beneficial substances are largely preserved. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[8]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The same is true of <a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/are-fresh-fruits-and-vegetables-healthier-than-frozen-or-canned\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">canned fruit.<\/a> It also goes through a blanching process. It is then placed in a container of liquid, in which it is heated. Finally, the can is cooled quickly, and the packed fruit is available to the world. As with frozen fruit, the processes used destroy micro-organisms that could spoil the fruit within the can. <strong>However, beneficial substances are retained.<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[9-11]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no major nutrient destruction in<a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/dried-fruit\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" lyophilization, or freeze drying (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\"> <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">lyophilization<\/span>, <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">or freeze<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">drying<\/span><\/a>.

However, if you are buying fruit from a supermarket labelled as fresh, this is certainly not a guarantee of the highest nutrient content. You cannot know how long it&#8217;s been stored and how many beneficial nutrients it&#8217;s lost. <strong>So it makes virtually no difference whether you reach for fruit that is frozen, preserved or labelled fresh at the supermarket.<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[12-14]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It simply pays to keep supplies in the freezer.<\/strong> Just as a bag of <a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/lyophilized-strawberries-gymbeam.html\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"lyophilized fruit  (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">lyophilized fruit<\/span> <\/a>would not be lost in the pantry.

In the shops, BIO fruit is expensive, too expensive by her standards. <strong>If it costs more money, it must be better quality,<\/strong> right? In addition, she also read online that fruit, which is not BIO, has a peel full of pesticides and toxic chemicals. So is it really necessary to eat only BIO fruit, or to remove at least the skin from the non BIO apple to eat minimal hazardous substances?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is it in reality?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>BIO refers to fruit that comes from<strong> ecological farming<\/strong>. The use of <strong>synthetic fertilizers is prohibited during cultivation<\/strong>. The use of agrochemicals, such as pesticides, is also restricted. This is not to say that non BIO fruit is bad or dangerous in any way. If it were different, it couldn&#8217;t be sold. The quality of fruit and vegetables is carefully <strong>controlled by the competent authorities.<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[15-17]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So the amount of pesticides contained within the fruit will not harm us. And if you want to reduce their amount in fruit even further, we have a tip for you on how to do it. All you have to do is <strong>create an apple bath by mixing water with baking soda<\/strong> (10 mg\/ml) and allow the fruit to bathe for 12 minutes. With this process, you should rid of most pesticides.<span style=\"color: #ff6600\"> [15-17]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So don&#8217;t try to get rid of unwanted substances by peeling the fruit. You would needlessly be <strong>deprived of the fibre and other<\/strong> <strong>beneficial micronutrients<\/strong> contained in the peel. Even Edwina knows by now that she doesn&#8217;t have to worry about any fruit. The supermarket guy simply gets a soda bath.

She found that sugar was not to be feared, and that fruit alone did not determine whether a person gained weight or lost weight. She also learned that it contains many beneficial substances. So she decided to make the most of fruit and <strong>consume a large serving for each course<\/strong>. She says she can eat up to 5 bananas and 300g of mango.

If a person ate 5 bananas and 300g of mango every day, they would deliver approximately 915 kcal and 124g of sugar to their body, and that&#8217;s a fair amount, isn&#8217;t it?

In general, fruit can be a regular part of a diabetic&#8217;s diet.
