My grandma is 97 and she eats fruit every day. My granddad also used to eat fruit every day and he lived until he was 94. I think the general rule of thumb is to just eat a balance diet and get regular exercise.
It's probably ok to eat one piece of fruit. But nowadays people put seversal whole friuts into a smoothie & drink it in one go. That is too much sugar. Nobody would eat say 1 banana, 1 kiwi , 1 apple , & a handful of berries in one go
I hear you! It seems like everyday some doctor is telling you what you should and shouldn’t be eating. I never would’ve thought in my wildest dreams that I would hear a doctor say we shouldn’t eat to many fruits, because it can cause you to have a fatty liver, and on some of his other videos he said don’t eat too many nuts because it can cause kidney stones. It seems like all of the things they said that are good for us are now bad for us…this is insane. I give up!
@@kevinkennedy2360 listen to your body and your energy level. Eat as natural as possible. Dr. Breg has good advices but got it messed up in this video.
Dr Berg, when it comes to fruits and most things, I just follow nature , there is a good reason why a tree gives us fruits once per year for about 1 or 2 weeks, there is a good reason why some fruits grow in different regions, so I only eat fruits when they are in season and fruits that grow in my region no imported or from other regions fruits, I follow nature because nature knows best. Problem with us humanbeings we became so clever that we became stupid eating fruits daily all year round and importing them fruits from other regions.
I have fruit after a savory lunch and I feel like it fixes my sweet/sugar cravings like I have been doing that for a while and I almost never crave highly processed foods anymore... so fruit helps keep me from having a sugar crash which is good the long run:)
Me too, An apple a day..........i eat apple chunks daily, add cinnamon and turmeric w lemon jc, a banana every other day. Just bought some kiwi, because a recent video mentioned how loaded with nutrients they are.
I had a chemistry teacher in high school who was also a body builder weightlifter and he had a huge amount of knowledge about healthy living and he had a banana every morning primarily for its potassium.
You missed the point. Also fruits these days are genetically modified and sprayed with pesticides and who knows what other chemicals at any given moment. Just washing them won't help. 🤣 If You're fortunate to have Your own biological garden with fruits then sure. Or neighbor? I wish I had house and garden full of fruits and vegetables. 🥺 But average person these days can't afford that anymore. Sugar is sugar no matter how You put it lol. And excess sugar will lead to fat storage. With possible exceptions like fast metabolism perhaps. Donuts or cakes are just worse because they have more carbs. It's bread with sugar basically. And we all know that bread is also bad. 🤣
my Mother is 92, she's a regular banana, papaya, avocado and many more fruits consumers on a daily basis, and she is super strong and healthy for her age, thanks for sharing ♥
@@slipinjimmy3266 yes! I saw videos about them. they all seem so happy & healthy I love it. they blend up the apricot into a juice too! it looks so yummy. : )
The fruit is not making them healthier, their healthy lifestyles are what makes them healthier. You should never compare anyone to Americans, the SAD is the very worse you can eat and eating anything else is healthier by a mile
One thing though..the carbohydrates are wrapped in fiber packets in fruit so it is a slow release.The body metabolizes the sugar differently in fruit vs added sugars in processed foods.
Theres more to it than just some sugar and fructose. Antioxidants, fiber (cellulose and pectin), some vitamins (A, C, B1,B2,B6), pholic acid, minerals (Po, C, Mg, Sl, Z, S, Ph, Cl) and mostly water. I think you are making a mistake here by disregarding them so much Dr Berg
As my doc has told me though… fruits today are bred and modified to be candy - and not how nature intended. Look up what a banana looked like before we messed with it. Or watermelon - they definitely didn’t come seedless or so sugary. I don’t think there’s doubt there are nutrients in them still, but we’ve messed with nature so much that we’ve turned a good thing into not so much a good thing and a double edged sword.
@@gfd5606 its true how much transgenic fruits nowadays bear many things that arent very good for us. But there's always organic grown fruits from local gardens that one can buy. They cannot compete with these industrie's prices, but they're well worth it if u are looking for healthy alternatives.
I agree, in the past I have lost a lot of weight by eating tons of fruits. Only that experience seems to totally contradict his explanations. I think there's a lot more to fruits, and maybe the body in general, than what he can see. I still like him a lot
My Grandpa lives with us. He is 94 years old. Still able to do most things for himself. A young 94 you may say. Anyway, he is telling me that growing up as a kid, his family had an abundance of fruit. They would have it daily. And throughout his life he has had one type of fruit or another with every meal. And he still does.
Mine too! Having a piece of fruit a day is probably not gonna end us all lolol. This may be more geared towards the diabetics and binge eaters among us.
The fruit Grandpa ate was not grown in an high-yield industrial process with the target of high sugar content to gain market share. Ask him about the taste of apples today vs 50 years ago.
Both of my 80yo parents eat fruits, and drink fruit juice (sweetened with brown sugar or honey) *every single day* . Along with rice, bread, potatoes, processed food, pasta, etc... Have been doing it their whole lives. I always scold them a lot for that; they're still alive, but take lots of meds...
First time I disagree with Dr. Berg. My parents are proof that eating fruit daily is good for your health. My dad is a very healthy 100... that’s right, one hundred year young man and my mom is 90. We grew up eating all kinds of 🍏 🍌 🍉 🍎 every single day... my mom weighs 136, my dad 132. No fatty liver or NACL or diabetes, thanks be to God. I think the key as for everything else is moderation, exercise a good sense of humor, faith and love.
I agree with you completely. It is in the Bible, fruits and some leaves are good for us: "Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.” (Ezekiel 47:12)
Fruits are rich in antioxidants that repair the oxidative stress damage caused by the metabolism. My mom eats fruit everyday, she is healthy and is 10 or 20 years older that the doc in the video, but looks younger lol.
so i have trouble sleeping...and maybe its because of sugar. so should i stop consuming bananas? because i heard that bananas are full of sugar..and keep in mind i usually eat bananas that are fresh but not non organic a) yes bananas are full of sugar..they are bad if you are insomiac b) no go ahead and keep on eating bananas c) nahh keep on eating eating bananas..its ok..but its even better if you buy the organic ones whats your answer for me..a, b or c? and btw the fruits that your mom consume..are they organic or non organic? im curious haha
Eric, I think you're disregarding a crucial point when it comes to fruit: *The enzymes that come packaged with fresh fruit.* You can't be pointing out the amount of sugar with no regard to the amount of pre-packaged enzymes that will help you break that sugar down. And I have to say from personal experience that it's practically impossible to overeat fruit. That's because fruit will actually satisfy you, contrary to refined sugars - *that is a fact.* The enzymes that come with fresh fruit are the most important reason why you should *NEVER buy or consume **_pasteurized_** fruit juice,* which makes up the *majority* of fruit juice products with many of them also containing *concentrates.* Ideally, you shouldn't be drinking (or cooking) your fruit at all - you should be *eating* your fruit. Even if you juice fresh fruit with a juice machine, it's never as beneficial as eating the fruit. In that regard, smoothies are much better than juices from a health standpoint. Natural sugars (no refining whatsoever) are generally harmless *until you **_heat_** them.* So, don't heat honey, maple syrup, fruits or other sources of natural sugar. Doing so will actually make them harmful! For example, glazing your steak with honey before you cook it will cause a lot of harm, because you're ruining the honey by heating it, and you're combining protein with sugar (which is BAD). But the point is, *_eating_** fresh fruit is not **_harmful!_* Of course, you should make sure you're getting the best quality (as with any foods) - meaning pesticide-free and grown with natural fertilizers only and in nutrient rich soil with climate conditions ideal for the plant. If you tick all those boxes, eating fruit could never be a bad thing unless you're a diabetic. But you don't become a diabetic from eating fruit. That's accomplished from *refined* carbohydrates, which do include pasteurized fruit products. So, to repeat myself: *NEVER buy or consume **_pasteurized_** fruit products!* And preferably, don't cook with fruit or sugar, natural or otherwise.
@@chrissikora3359 This is true, but it does matter how much fruit you eat. I don’t think the Doctor is saying not to consume fruit at all, you may only want to eat one banana instead of two. You may want to consume a little fruit that are high in sugar not a lot. I think where people go wrong is they consume too much.
I like to stick to berries (especially raspberries) because they are lower on the glycemic index and contain fiber. I feel getting my sweetness through fruit is a way better option than picking candy, cookies etc
@@lorcan8484 It does. But you can get it from animal food in bigger amount than from plants. It's more about variety of it not amount too. There is a video by Thomas Delauer(?) About it. If you overdose probiotics of one kind it will also harm you. But what bacteria you feed that what they like you will crave. Problem is fiber usually comes with much sugar what derails the whole concept of feeding right bacteria. So choose source of fiber smart.
@@lorcan8484 Fibre is key for the gut bacteria to create all those short chain fatty acids and by-products that make us function - not least improved brain function.
Hi , I had been so ill this past couple of years, until I came across yourself and Dr Mandel and listened to what you were both saying then changed my diet and now I have finally got rid of my illness and I'm on route to a full recovery. Huge thank you for sharing your knowledge and understanding of how food is medicine and much better for us than expensive processed foods
I don’t get it. So I should stop eating fruits? I always thought that the sugar in the fruit is not bad for us? the only thing that is resting now is fish and vegetables and I think even that is too much. Okay I eat air now
I follow the Ayervedic idea of eating every 8 hours to allow my body to completely digest all food and have a few hours rest before beginning the cycle again. That helps a lot to prevent fat buildup. But I find that eating berries as a primary source for fruits is the best way to get the benefits, but I also eat things like mango and pineapple as they are excellent cancer fighters, much better than oranges or other citrus fruits. The extra sugar in fruits is only a problem if you eat a lot of sugar in other foods as well. If you get most of your sugar from fruit and don't eat junk food or candy, then it should not be a problem.
I just recently heard of Ayervedic a week ago, looking into it I see I follow some of it's principles, others I strive for. I've had a wicked sweet tooth all my life, eating fruit is the least of my problems.
I dont wanna say thats dumb but thats dumb. Literally just fast. Eat during a 6hr window and fast for 18hrs. No need to eat every 8hrs. Thats dumb. Youll get better resukts from IF. Thats the bible says you feast when the sun is up, and you fast when the sun is down. Cause theres a time your body needs to eat and then a time for it to digest and rest. I fit all my macros in 2 meals a day within a 6-8hr eating window. Then i fast afterwards. Im now in the best shape of my life and the strongest ive ever been.
Of course you can! You can eat celery, have an egg white once a week, only drink water and when you get hungry, eat some ice chips rolled up in lettuce! Yummm! I'm not feeling depressed at all!
I learn so much from watching your videos. As a result, i have made some significant dietary changes (reduced carbs, cut out breads and pastas, increased green vegetables and intermittent fasting). I started walking 30 - 60 minutes several times a weeks and drinking filtered or bottled water. It's been a little less than 2 months and so far I've lost about 8 pounds of mostly belly fat - which is very noticeable as I have a thin frame and I am not very tall. I feel like a new person! Thanks so much for the life changing, honest, no frills, no sales, gimmick-free, health advice. You are saving lives.
Great job! I'm slowly doing similar. Cut out caffeine now for two months, am increasing exercise. Much better at drinking water and having an eating window. Also worked on healing my gut.
Idk what vegetables i need to eat but I’ve eaten broccoli plenty of times and it doesn’t have the same effect when i drink a smoothie. I make myself a smoothie often when i wake up, at least every other day. I definitely can tell a huge difference on how my skin looks and it feels smooth and soft too. I just use strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, squeeze 3 key limes in and use apple juice for my smoothie and it seems to have very positive effect on my skin.
same!! i was avoiding fruits for half a year just to experiment (i have hormonal acne) and was eating a lot of vegetables everyday, nothing happened! i gave up and started eating fruits again, i try to keep it organic and seasonal, and i don’t know if that’s what helped but my skin has been clearing out so much. I’ve been eating a lot of fruits and meat lately (probably not enough veggies as i should because i think im getting enough fiber from all the fruits i eat anyway) and yeah i feel great tbh
@@Angel-ms7sf i know vegetables can help sometimes but I’ve had more results from eating more fruits. I don’t really pay much attention if its seasonal but i always get organic. I also eat a lot of meat too, always 100% grass fed and i can tell that also effects how good my skin looks too.
Because you are not a Herbivore the Juicing actually gets rid of the Cellulose basically the Juicer acts like a Herbivore they have to throw up food too and eat it again to digest it and get rid of the anti nutrients all Vegetables are better in Juice form
I love ya, Dr. Berg, but you have no idea what you’re talking about here. Personal story: In 2020 I was extremely ill, my digestive system was terrible. I juiced for 11 months, only ate meat twice a week and supplemented with Vitamin D, B12 shots and Enzymes. Turned my bad health good. Period. And never harmed my liver, kidneys or A1c. And had all of them checked twice during the process. Again love your content but you’re wrong.
There could be some criticism. Our Dear Doctor is uploading frequent videos. So the quality is already compromised. He is ok but not a good video . Remember about Body type that Indian System of Medicine suggests..
@@wweirdoww You have zero idea what you’re talking about. Judgy? Blaming a textbook? You’ve already lost the argument with that comment. Keep living and then come back. Like in 10 years.
@@Mita7538 telling a personal story doesn’t mean Dr. berg is wrong.. a little bit of research shows that he is right.. it’s great you got your health back with the way you supplemented.. but it’s only information Dr Berg is spreading.. I don’t get your need to say he is in the wrong? And what kind of argument is “you don’t know what you’re talking about” when he clearly does his research? And taking my comment and add question marks? Anyhow, lovely story, great you got back, but don’t say that people are wrong just when it doesn’t add up with your story..
Not everything is about blood sugar. Fruit contains a lot of stuff that is very good for us and also helps us to stay healthy and slim, polyphenols, fibre etc.
Yes, modern day fruit contains massive amounts of sugar. They are bred to contain sugar, to be sweet. A glass of orange juice contains more sugar than a glass of coca-cola.
@@la6136 Nope, you got this totally wrong. Even without the added sugar, a glass of orange juice contains more sugar than a glass of coca-cola. If you cannot handle this truth bomb, this is your problem. The modern day orange has been bred for its sweetness/sugar content.
Just because they have healthy nutrients, does not make them good for you. If I give you a bowl of cyanide with healthy vitamins and minerals mixed in, is it healthy now? The human body does not need fiber and many interventional studies have shown that adding fiber to the diet has no discernable benefit. Polyphenols are not good for you either, they are major component of a plants toxic defensive system to avoid being eaten.
Vegetables has more polyphenols and nutrients so I ditched fruit and eat lots of veggies, good thing I don’t have hunger pangs anymore since ditching fruits
Sir, I am a 50 plus lady and I start my day with a large size bowl of all sorts of mixed fruits, because I believe that it is God made food, so I eat as much as I can, and my skin is beautiful and I believe it is better than processed sugar. Fruits contains, fiber, enzymes, antioxidants and above all it has tons of healing properties for every cell in the body that is why God has given us such beautiful fruits to consume to be joyful and healthy, which is my personal belief. I consume fruits only for breakfast because our body needs sugar as fuel for the entire day, so that is why I eat fruits only for breakfast.
Our body bots not need sugar at all. But I believe fruits are made to be eaten thats how they reproduce. Their seeds doesnt break down in our digestion and they get perfekt nutrients to grow from our or other animals poop
@@fullerswinney1051 No, not facts, these are feelings. Did God make fruit, yes, but he didn't make fruit to be eaten all year round. Sugar is sugar, no matter where it comes from, so saying "natural" sugar doesn't make it less impactful. The newest research in fructose is quite alarming in how it affects the liver, promoting NAFLD. Our bodies do not need sugar for the entire day, it really needs minimal sugar at all. Not everyone struggles the same and we all have a different metabolism and thus handle sugar differently. Dr Berg works with the newest science to give the best information for the overwhelming majority of us.
0:47 #1 Fruits have at least 5 times the amount of sugar compared to veggies #2 85% of fruit is sugar #3 fruits have very low protein, fat, iron, B vitamins, calcium, zinc, omega 3, vitamn D 1:53 Berries are okay if you have half a cup or a cup a day 2:27 Kiwi has a lot of vitamin C but also very high in oxalates which is not good for kidney stones 3:00 What's unique about fructose is that there's going to be less suppression of ghrelin which means you're going to be less satisfied 3:47 Also when you consume excess fructose it can spike cortisol and that can increase insulin indirectly 4:06 People that consume A LOT of fructose whether from HFCS or they're consuming a lot of fruit can end up with a fatty liver and insulin resistance indirectly 4:24 Dr. Berg's recommendation: Eat your veggies, skip the friut, maybe have a little bit of berrie, maybe occasional kiwi if you want
In other words, no sweets are good for us, period ... fake sugar creates other problems with craving sugar & other internal changes, real fruit causes problems, cane & fructose sugars are bad. What else is there that's sweet?
Any sugar will cause hunger. 3% of sugar is converted to fructose. 10times this, 30% if you obese & metabolically sick. Alcohol is metabolised to the same uric acid as fructose. So it's the same. Eating food with fake glutamine flavor does the same, spikes uric acid causes sugar convention to fructose, hunger. Wheel moved again. The same high dose of regular sugar esp liquid as soft drink. The same high salt intake... The same lots of meat with the same umami flavor/glutamin. Dehydration also... Lots of factors to keep in mind. But all comes back to one the same cycle. Zero sugar, less salt, more hydration (sugar dehydrates), more walking or exercising. That's why Japanese walk, drink zero sugar green tea, eat variety in very small portions plus fermented food with vitamins & probiotics, never eat full, lots of seafood too. Not sure about fruits.
I completely agree with Dr. Berg as to fruits. I am a 57 year old woman. During my young adult days and into my 40'' 50's I ran marathons, 10k's, half marathons, did strength training as well as yoga regularly, I didn't eat fruits much, but ate a lot of vegetables, avocados, oatmeal, eggs and I was in perfect health. I remained as such to date. However, Lately (12 months now) due to overload of work etc and other external stressors, I no longer workout as often and intensely as before and I incorporated apples, Dijon pear, kiwi, goji berries, figs into my diet and I gained a lot of weight due to slow insulin...Just five days ago, I completely dropped apples, Dijon pear, goji berries, and figs, I noticed a significant difference. What really scared me was that last week Monday, I had , 1/4 size of blueberries, strawberries, one apple, and one kiwi... right after my blood sugar went up so high to the point of me having blurred vision....really scary. After quitting fruits from Tuesday to Thursday and on Friday, I experimented with 5 pieces of strawberries and a quarter cup of blueberries and I was perfectly alright. If you are above 30 and you are not doing 1hr or more high intensity exercises, at least 5 to 6 days a week, please stay away from the fruits, or eat them sparingly, except blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and red raspberries..
As my doc has told me… fruits today are bred and modified to be candy - and not how nature intended. Look up what a banana looked like before we messed with it. Or watermelon - they definitely didn’t come seedless or so sugary. I don’t think there’s doubt there are nutrients in them still, but we’ve messed with nature so much that we’ve turned a good thing into a double edged sword. Her advice is to treat fruit like candy - an occasional treat.
I eat 1 orange in the morning, 1 banana in the afternoon, 1 green apple in the evening and few pieces of diced pineapples after each meal. I don't think that will kill me or make me diabetic. Moderation is the key to everything in life.
As long as it's in calories limit. Because fruits have sugars and calories obviously. I used to eat a lot of fruit. Like 5 apples a day and other fruits. I could eat cherries 1kg easily. But obviously then I get stomach ache and headache. Because too much sugar. 🤣 Had done blood work and doctor said I'm almost prediabetic. As an average guy. Needed to cut sugar. Obviously 1 banana and 1 apple not gonna kill anyone.
so i have trouble sleeping...and maybe its because of sugar. so should i stop consuming bananas? because i heard that bananas are full of sugar..and keep in mind i usually eat bananas that are fresh but not non organic a) yes bananas are full of sugar..they are bad if you are insomiac b) no go ahead and keep on eating bananas c) nahh keep on eating eating bananas..its ok..but its even better if you buy the organic ones whats your answer for me..a, b or c? and btw the fruits that you consume..are they organic or non organic? im curious haha
I actually had a nightmare last night where I was hungry and was offered the choice between canned fruit, canned beans, and canned pasta. In my dream I opted to fast instead. The health and nutritional information from your videos has fully infiltrated my subconscious.
Avocados are fruit. They have lots of fat and less sugar. All of what Dr. Berg calls "vegetables" at 4:38 are actually fruits. I'll definitely keep eating fruit, including the sweet fruit. It has fiber, helps keep me regular, and I think it's better than eating candy bars or donuts.

I have a controversial experience with eating fruits: consuming them improves my workouts and energy levels but at the same time it causes bloating and flare ups in my joints
Sugar and fructose create inflammation. Sugar causes dehydration & hunger. It slowly destroys mitochondria and you won't have any energy in future. Most of effect is psychological hormonal addiction. Better check out hypoxia training breath & co2 tolerance promoting more cell energy and longevity of mitochondria. This will give you boost in utilisation of oxygen. For free. I should sell this knowledge lol.
And cod liver and less oxidised fish oils in triglyceride form will fix inflammation. People dont even know eggs are high in omega6... And nearly no healthy omega3 except lots of ALA
Fruit should only be eaten on an empty stomach and NEVER combined with any other food. Fruit eaten correctly passes through the stomach quickly into the small intestines where it is digested (it's not digested in the stomach). Mixed with any other food in the stomach, it ferments ... causing bloating, stomach aches etc.
his videos are usually so strong. i dont eat fruit to exclusion of other nutrient sources. i dont expect to get fat from fruit excepting the avocado which is a fruit and loaded with beta carotein and omega 3 fats arent they Dr Berg ? Avocados contain vitamins in addition to C such as E, K, and B6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. The fiber in fruit slows the uptake of natural sugar which present in low amounts and mixed with other natural and not free sugars readily digestable in the body . We eat them just under ripe to retain the enzymes which aid in digestion. What about the polphenols and cartenoids in fruit which protect from us from disease and oxidative damage.. Fruits such as Watermelon reduce inflammation in the body. Why is the title attempting to be so divisive. I trust you to be informative not triggering. The points you make seem to tie in with over consumption or with fruit excluding other nutrient sources. I really think that most people who are here are not doing that. Please clarify. ive learned SO much from you. this video felt overly simplistic in a way your other videos do not. the case is clear to not eat too much of any fruit or vegetables while not eating anything manufactured. i look forward to your next video. Apples and Oranges are considered low glycemic foods by the way. anyway good luck.
I just wrote about the Title of this video above. Dr Berg, it doesn't fit with your normal Titles and looks like the videos on here that are made by "questionable" "doctors"?? I'm afraid you'll lose followers. Seriously.
Next video: “You May Never Breathe Air After Watching This Video” 😂😂 love the videos doc, you’ve informed me on a lot of vitamin deficiencies to avoid and how to consume them in a healthy way
Hahaha yes! What else is there left to eat. Come on doc, don't scare us normies away. We can't really micro control all of our food intake. Thanks though!
like the other comments, love your stuff....so depressing though. if you could get some investors, maybe you could make some device like in the movie the matrix that makes us think we are having steak when its only some water with a side of ice.
Im sorry I really cannot believe fruit is bad for you As long as you have it in moderate amounts Anything that comes from nature must be healthy for you
Like cyanide? 😂 sorry. Just everyone someone says it’s natural I think of cyanide. It’s natural to protect oneself, even if one is a plant. Still- I’m also ok with fruit. On some of the days I work out. Closer to a treat than poison from a box.
THh fruit you eat today comes from factory production processes, it's designed to have high sugar for increased sales. Nature did not create the apples you can buy today.
This is the anthropocentric view of nature. Do you think that nature evolved just so it serves and benefits humans? Try eating some manchineel apples, playing with lions, swimming in lava or breathing underwater. Those are parts of nature too. Nature has no preference. Humans play a role in it as everything else, but not elements of nature are friendly to human health.
Fruit is good and has a natural form of sugar. Not processed. Exercise and an active lifestyle are half of the equation. Start eating clean. Eat lots of fruit and egg whites, no yolks. You would benefit from watching our Master Chef's cooking videos. Who wants to live longer? Learn more superfoods and recipes.
In my opinion it is Hard to Say dont eat Freitag. So many Researches have shown that Fruits are so Important. Dont Compare Fruits with Vegetables. Every Single fruit has his own benefits for the body. Blueberries clean your blood,........
There is literally ZERO credible research that shows that fruits are "so important". The evidence that shows the amount of sugars and plant toxins in fruit is abundant however. Humans evolved by eating meat, not plants, plant nutrients evolved specifically to benefit plant biochemistry, not human biochemistry.
Incorrect. Your health status has no bearing on how much sugar and plant toxins you are ingesting when eating fruit, every person will handle it differently but at the end of the day you are ingesting the exact same amount of crap as an unhealthy person.
I live in Italy and I eat fruit everyday. I walk everywhere burning off all the sugars in my fruity diet. Watermelon is literally my favourite food, truly the nectar of the Gods🍉🍉🍉. I'm a Caribbean woman my great grandmother lived to be 103 eating fresh fruit everyday of her life. I'm eating a very Mediterranean diet now and am the healthiest I've ever been.
Your grandma doesn't count, because she only represents 0.25/4 of the population. Longevity is mostly genetic, but that doesn't change the fact that fruit is still unhealthy. Plus, watermelon has a lot of sugar. Not healthy...

I’m sure you’re aware as Dr Berg that the human body is optimised for glycogen as a fuel source. Yes we need protein and fat, however no one eats fruit for the protein or fat content. Literally the best reason for consuming fruit is the antioxidants, vitamins and fibre content, and including them as part of a balanced diet.
completely agree... this man obvs has a lot of knowledge around nutrition as do i myself but the problem is this ketogenic diet where you eat minimal carbs 20-50g per day is so unrealistic and unsustainable for most people. Especially for people who are training very hard and want to build muscle etc. Carbs are good it's about picking the right ones - simple sugar on its own is not good but if you have sugar from fruit you are getting antioxidants which are extremely important for good health as well as phytonutrients. The key is to build good habits and maintain a healthy balanced diet which you can stick to in the long term . Anyone can then get into shape due to maintaining a good diet.
Our body can produces its own glycogen without eating cards. We have essential fats and protiens, but no essential carbs. It is called gluconeogenesis. It occurs during starvation, as well as after meals high in fat and protien without carbohydrates.
Technically no plant food contains Omega-3, including avocados, plants contain ALA (Alpha-linolenic acid) which is not really Omega-3, it is a precursor to Omega-3 and has to be converted by the human body, however our bodies are very poor at the conversion (less than 10%), no plant based food is a good source of Omega-3.
I'll still eat fruit. There's nothing wrong with them, if nature made them edible. But we should focus mainly on local fruit, so in my country it would be: berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries black currant and so on), also apples, pears and cherries. Besides - if you eat, you raise insulin no matter what (protein raises blood sugar much more than fat), so eating fruit after meal does no difference. And they contain many vital nutrients. For me the key is to eat 2 meals a day and minimum 12 hours of break between last meal and first meal the next day. I feel better than ever before. But I eat fruit, together with meals.
Sadly you are working on a false hypostasis "they contain many vital nutrients" the facts trotted out today is based on tests ~100years old carried out on fruit that was not created in industrial production facilities sprayed with chemicals and selected based on sugar content to ensure repeat customer purchase not optimum health. Find an old person and ask them if fruit 50 years ago had a better taste than sweet fruits today? Modern high sugar fruits give a insulin spike as opposed to old-fruit which gave a lower spike.
"protein raises blood sugar much more than fat"...what does that have to do with fruit/fructose? the point that you're missing is that fruit and fructose raises insulin levels far more than protein or fat. also fruit has very little nutrients, it's mostly sugar and waters.
Fruits have one purpose that is fattening planteaters up for the winter. We are equipped with a ‘sweet tooth’ to ensure we do just that. Plant and plant eaters live in a sort of symbiose, they need seed spreading, we need fat for the winter. Fructose in large quantities forces the liver to convert it to fat but fructose is toxic in the long run and nature knows that do its only available a few weeks each year. The problem is we eat it each day year after year and that is the root cause of nearly all illnesses we have.
I wish there wasn't so much GMO fruit because years ago, watermelon with seeds tasted much better, cantelope and other melons were juicy and had a much better taste. Eating GMO fruit is like eating fake food. I remember as a kid eating watermelon on our porch and spitting out the seeds, it was like a game for us, it was fun and yummy.
No way! I've lost a lot of weight eating almost a kilo of fruit every day (mostly guava, cantaloupe and some pineapple). Getting protein and fat from eggs, chicken and some whey. Works just fine.
Assuming fruit is around 10% sugar, you're basically eating 100g of sugar a day from your fruit - that's excessive. The averge American consumes 77g of sugar a day. The American Heart Association suggests men should have 37.5g of sugar per day, and women 25g per day. Everything in moderation. Just 1 piece/serving of fruit per day is enough. And eat naturally... why are you even eating whey?
Dr Berg, I have studied alot of your videos. As a practicing nutritionist for over 40 years, I agree with so many of your principals. Having gone through estrogen dominance, gallbladder removal, breast cancer and then menopause, my metabolism hit a major stumbling block. So, I have put into play moderate Keto and intermittent fasting. My concerns on too many "NO's" in your recommendations are the negative effects it might have on populatiions of people that struggle with Anorexia, Bulemia, Orthorexia and the like. I see so many issues with demonizing particular foods, that I could never stroke weight loss and healthy eating with a narrow brush.. I did to make changes....stress is my worst enemy...but I am learning to deal with it...along with adherence to your many recommendations.
I agree with you. I'm allergic to eggs, intolerant to dairy, and can't stand the taste of seafood. So that really doesn't leave me much if I go full keto. Eating is an enjoyable thing for many, it can really be depressing when you are around others enjoying the things you love and not being allowed to eat it. Sure you might overcome some of your health problems, but you'll replace that with depression and then the cycle will repeat. Even worse!
@@Spacegoat92 eat everything in moderation and you will be fine. That’s why media always makes people even more sick. I do browse thru media occasionally and abet an idea but never do the things they say you should eat or do or not. Be your own judge for your body😊
The doctor is not wrong.He is not telling us not to eat fruits.But eat the ones that have less sugar and in moderation.I am thankful for all l learned from this blessed man.Thank you Doctor.

Thank you for all your videos. I have learned so much. What most people have forgotten, because it is probably what you would call "ancient wisdom" now, is that when we eat with nature we did it right. We had no choice. For instance, berries ripen in spring. They helped cleanse the system of the heavy meat diet of winter. fruits like grapes, apples, etc come in in the fall. The high sugar content causes weight/fat gain in preparation for winter. That's why apples, pears , watermelon etc don't come in spring.
Very attuned to nature. God made it that way Dr Berg, it worked and helped humans for centuries. It’s only until nations became industrial that we have messed things up.
@@mariagibson2722 That's the way, God made things. That's the way God wants things to be 🎶🎶🎶🎶. I however have an apple a day - it helps keep the doctor away apparently & if it doesn't I'll just assume it keeps the doctor away quite a lot but it's not 100%.
@@paulpaul9914 Yes. That’s the way God made and wants things (wonderful you added music…). Good for you about the apple a day! I read that the seeds are good at fighting cancer, so eating the whole apple is good for us. Anything we can do to help keep ourselves healthy is worth doing. The Lord gave us all we need. We just need to learn how to use and take care of His gifts. Continue to do well and take care. ✝️🙏🏻
It makes sense. Many years ago, a colleague shared that her doctor advised to stay away from fruits for they’re high in sugar. Back then, the younger and less evolved me couldn’t comprehend that and thought it was a wrong advice (cuz I enjoyed fruits). But now I see it, and I’m in complete agreement to what is shared here. We are just very conditioned since young being told that fruits is good. It does have its merit, but if we don’t need that extra sugar in our body, why feed ourselves with it?
Then why does the human mouth water when people see mangoes or strawberries, while it doesn’t happen at all at the sight of broccoli, wheatgrass, or pigs? I reckon the body knows best.
Hey Dr. Berg we realize you are the smartest DR on earth but I will be eating fruit daily. There are many benefits from fruits that have been around for centuries
Smoking can relax you (by poisoning your body with toxins, as well restricting oxygen flow)... does that mean we should all be smoking more to benefit from the relaxation it offers?
You are eating fruits because of your addiction and attachment to sugar. Stop lyi g about health benefits. In addition fruits in ancient times were natural and seasonal. Today's fruits are GMO's which have been extra sweetened and colorized. They are toxic.
Showing an image 0:56 of WHITE REFINED CANE SUGAR while talking about FRUIT is not an accurate comparison.. lots of fruit may not be keto friendly but eating fruit, whole food.. regularly is not harmful..
There's a big difference between eating isolated fructose and getting fructose from the full matrix of fruit, which contains antioxidants, enzymes, and fiber to balance it out and slow the assimilation of the fructose into smaller increments at a time. The key is to eat the fruit just under-ripe or at the exact peak of ripeness, NOT when it's overripe, as then it gets rid of its enzymes and turns into pure sugar. The other key is to eat fruit ONLY during its natural season, which in most cases is spring and summer. God made it this way so that we're outside more often and moving around more so we can burn off what we need to. Do NOT eat fruit in the winter when you're supposed to be storing food.
Exactly! Eat local and until it lasts in your root cellar. I was watching plenty of videos about people living in Uzbekistan - people live long, healthy lives because they grow their food and drink spring water.
@Mark Victor Ice cream is a bad example, there's sugar free versions of ice cream that tastes just as good as normal ice cream, natural sweeteners such as Xylitol and erythritol tastes and are almost identical to sugar, but the difference being that those natural sweeteners have no negative impact on the body whatsoever and can actually have some positive effects such as improving gut health. literally any product containing sugar can be replicated using Xylitol or erythritol.
I eat berries (raspberries, blueberries, sometimes strawberries), but I cut out the majority of fruit-eating years ago. Never felt better! I used to try to include things like apples, bananas, nectarines, etc. and it just left me feeling bloated and depleted after all the insulin spikes caused by all this modern high-sugar fruit. The bulk of vegetables I eat is basically various salad greens.
I used to eat 3 to 5 servings of fruit each day. I had a fatty liver, and yes, I was overweight. I now eat fruit, but it’s the juice from one to two lemons per day. I’ve reduced my weight and feel better. My fatty liver is gone!
I tend to listen to everything Dr Berg has to say.but at some point as humans we have to use common sense. If we hang on every word about everything we shouldn't be eating. We would have a pretty limited and boring existence.

Love these videos. I’m not going to agree or disagree… Just stating my personal experience I was off fruit for many years because I was told it would spike my glucose levels. Recently, I decided to find out for myself by reintroducing it to my diet . I was very surprised to find out that eating fruit does not spike my glucose at all. It is also positively impacted the way I feel and my digestion. I’m definitely sticking to fruit! I wouldn’t tell anyone else, too… But this is the way it is for my body. Thanks for the video.
It does not spike your glucose because fruit is primarily sucrose. And you are not measuring sucrose. You are only measuring glucose, and fruits might not cause a glucose spike if you eat reasonable amounts. But your sucrose will be high, if you measure it
@@PadmaRaoShastry I’m no expert, I just go by how I feel and the science I read. From what I understand, the liver converts it to glucose. If you have any scientific links to show me otherwise I would love to read it. Thanks for your input..
I go with Paul Saladino on this one: fruits are the only non-toxic plant food. Unlike veggies and seeds for example, which have plenty of defense chemicals in them. So I prefer fruits before all other plant foods.
I heard this about that approach and it makes sense to me- Paul is living a very athletic lifestyle and can get away with eating a lot of sugar. Applying his approach the average person is not straightforward. Do you do physical activity 3, 4, 5 hours a day?
@@naelna not all sugars are the same. Natural fructose in fruits is very different from artificial sugars. It's not harmful. Mankind is used to eating fruit since prehistoric times. Saladino's diet is "animal based", which means the focus is on meat and organs. Fruits are just added. So this is not about "getting away with eating lots of sugar".
@@makiserpunkt2179 ok that does make sense. Enjoy your meat and fruite :-) . I don't think there is only one right way of eating. For me- I prefer Keto- under 50g of carbs mainly from veggies. If I eat fruit I eat very little of it. Like 50g of watermelon. Not a 200g of warermelon.
@@naelna thank you. I did keto for about a year and a half. It didn't work for me. From my experience I'd like to suggest to at least avoid all seed oils. Besides fat from animals the only "ok" plant oils are olive, avocado and coconut. Good luck.
Isn't there a big difference between what we call sugar (refined sugar) and what is found in fruit? I understand the caloric value is roughly the same but isn't there a big difference in the way your body responds to either type of sugar?
@@NerdNest0 Eat more cakes, lots of them. If thirsty at night drink coke cola after eating a pizza with extra toppings, you need to keep your energy up don't you?
Fruit we eat now is not the same as the fruit our grandparents ate. It has been bred to be super sweet with a long shelf life. The nutrients are now very low, and the pesticide levels are high. See EWG for extra details.
Warning, you might not eat again after watching more videos from Dr Berg 😂 Your videos changed me for the better good and made me realize how beneficial fasting is. Thank you.
Fruits is super food. It gives you long lasting energy and a lot of vitamins. There is a people who only eat fruits and they are usually super healthy. I wish all of you good health and happy life.
I agree with you . I ate so much fruit as a Diet for 4 months . I never felt better in my life . I had a variety of all kinds of fruits in high amounts I would eat it as a meal sometimes like a brunch . I will eat veggies , carbs and protein too tho . I want to implement fruits in my diet again like I used too.
I grew up in Jamaica and the idea of not eating fruit is crazy to me. I’m sorry. The fruit available in Jamaica is one of the best things about life. Mangoes make life worth living haha
Too far ! Everything in moderation. That's just silly now. Just too far Dr Berg. Your channel is great with lots of good information for people to make their own informed decisions. There is benefit in everything.
The question one must ask is why are we being sold particular "foods"? Is it for our health benefit or that of the people SELLING us their products. Look at TV advertising for orange juice.
I am really asking myself how much fruits do people eat in the US that we have to make videos about the problem with eating too much of them. Are people swallowing 14 apples per meal or....?
Fruit also is loaded in fiber to account for the fact that it contains sugar - there’s a huge difference between processed sugars and sugar from fruit - this video is a bit extreme -
I might be an idiot, but my feeling is that anything that comes straight out of the earth ready to eat cannot be that bad for you. Yes it probably wasn't made to be lived off of exclusivity, or swallowed in obscene quantities, but I'd bet my hand NO fruits deserve to be skipped.
Thanks for great video Dr. Berg. Unfortunately in our times industrial food products are overloaded with sugar. It makes awareness about sugar in fruits even more important.
@@boink800 I suppose the Creator put an abundance of fruit on the Earth because they're akin to a plague for us. He couldn't have known what He was doing!
I changed my diet to only have fruit in the morning and I thought I was making good improvements. Now I’m just confused. I feel like no matter what it’s always something.
The constant conflicting information is out of hand. I try to make my own meals and choose quality foods. I eat twice a day mostly and include berries and the occasional peach, plum, kiwi or pear. I invision my grandparents and their diet. They moved constantly working on their farm, so I try to walk daily. My grandparents raised chickens, pigs and ate what was available on their land, like coconut, citrus, banananas, plantains etc. In the tropics that season never changed. I suggest everyone listen to their bodies and eat a balanced diet, not too much of any one thing, move more and eat more leafy greens and eat from the broccoli family. Try tea and be sure to get good sleep. Common sense things, like reduce sugar and remove processed items as much as you can.
I've been eating only fruit in the mornings for 33 years, but it must be on an empty stomach. Harvey Diamond's books Living Health, and Fit For Life explain the incredible benefits of fruit, but they must be correctly eaten (not with or after other foods). Carry on as you are! Dr Berg has NOT researched fruit deeply, as evidenced by the brevity of this video. People are absolutely fixated with protein ... As though it's the only thing we need. God created fruit trees, and I think He knew what he was doing 😁
@@jeandixon586 appreciate your response and thank you. I read the book a few months ago and I started following his recommendations the next day. I feel amazing
@@mikimiki6202 I totally agree with you. Do your research, listen to your body and do what’s best for you. I am going to continue to eat fruit regardless of what anyone says.
@@zefsagala8327 Just regular bananas I'm pretty sure. God never told her they needed to be organic. That's just what radicals seem to be teaching us these days.
Water doesn't have any protein yet we drink it. According to your theory, we shouldn't drink water. And i don't understand the battle between Americans & Sugars, like Processed and Natural Sugars are different. Natural sugars are essential to your body for energy like carbs, and these sugars aren't addictive. Hear me out, Meats are for strenght, Veggies are for healthy function & fruits are for longevity of life
If things like blueberries, strawberries, watermelon, bananas, gooseberries, etc., are too terrifying to eat, I'll just skip the video. These foods give quality to my life.
Berries are fine and low on the glycemic index. It also depends on the person because fruit can be inflammatory for some people like me. I can't eat much without sparking a sugar frenzy. Even natural sugar can trigger inflammation if eaten at the same sugar levels that were lost before going low carb and refined sugar free. You have to look at what he says in context. He talks about in one of his videos being addicted to ice cream and Doritos which sounds a lot like what I experience even if I eat grapes but know this is probably from his personal experience but it can be the experiences of others. Eat in moderation if you can. But if you can't like me because it starts you on an addiction you need to avoid any fruit high on the glycemic index and load and just pay careful attention to your eating habits and body after you eat a particular fruit and when you eat a bit more of it.
I'd like to add bananas can be sugary but eating in smaller amounts should be ok and I love watermelon 🍉 but I'll eat a whole one in one sitting because of my body wanting to replace carbs but I find it a little bit easier for myself to restrain myself with watermelon than pineapple, grapes and other fruits high on the glycemic index
I wish I knew this when I was young.. All this is relative! And depends on your Output. If your an Athlete or someone or trains hard you will need to consume more natural sugars. As opposed to someone who sits down all day, keep your consumption low like he said. You can't operate efficiently on a deficit.
Fruits are super food. The candy sugar although called fructose is artificial, not the same as in fruits. Moreover, fruit sugar comes with many more nutrients and fibers. All this makes fruit sugar something else than just sugar. Insulin resistance is caused by animal eating - protein and fats.
My grandma is 97 and she eats fruit every day. My granddad also used to eat fruit every day and he lived until he was 94. I think the general rule of thumb is to just eat a balance diet and get regular exercise.
Very well said.
Right on.
It's probably ok to eat one piece of fruit. But nowadays people put seversal whole friuts into a smoothie & drink it in one go. That is too much sugar. Nobody would eat say 1 banana, 1 kiwi , 1 apple , & a handful of berries in one go
@Nkoreanspy maybe 200.

Dr Berg, when it comes to fruits and most things, I just follow nature , there is a good reason why a tree gives us fruits once per year for about 1 or 2 weeks, there is a good reason why some fruits grow in different regions, so I only eat fruits when they are in season and fruits that grow in my region no imported or from other regions fruits, I follow nature because nature knows best. Problem with us humanbeings we became so clever that we became stupid eating fruits daily all year round and importing them fruits from other regions.

One thing though..the carbohydrates are wrapped in fiber packets in fruit so it is a slow release.The body metabolizes the sugar differently in fruit vs added sugars in processed foods.

I think you are making a mistake here by disregarding them so much Dr Berg
As my doc has told me though… fruits today are bred and modified to be candy - and not how nature intended. Look up what a banana looked like before we messed with it. Or watermelon - they definitely didn’t come seedless or so sugary. I don’t think there’s doubt there are nutrients in them still, but we’ve messed with nature so much that we’ve turned a good thing into not so much a good thing and a double edged sword.

Eric, I think you're disregarding a crucial point when it comes to fruit: *The enzymes that come packaged with fresh fruit.*
You can't be pointing out the amount of sugar with no regard to the amount of pre-packaged enzymes that will help you break that sugar down.
And I have to say from personal experience that it's practically impossible to overeat fruit. That's because fruit will actually satisfy you, contrary to refined sugars - *that is a fact.*
The enzymes that come with fresh fruit are the most important reason why you should *NEVER buy or consume **_pasteurized_** fruit juice,* which makes up the *majority* of fruit juice products with many of them also containing *concentrates.* Ideally, you shouldn't be drinking (or cooking) your fruit at all - you should be *eating* your fruit. Even if you juice fresh fruit with a juice machine, it's never as beneficial as eating the fruit. In that regard, smoothies are much better than juices from a health standpoint.
Natural sugars (no refining whatsoever) are generally harmless *until you **_heat_** them.* So, don't heat honey, maple syrup, fruits or other sources of natural sugar.
Doing so will actually make them harmful! For example, glazing your steak with honey before you cook it will cause a lot of harm, because you're ruining the honey by heating it, and you're combining protein with sugar (which is BAD).
But the point is, *_eating_** fresh fruit is not **_harmful!_* Of course, you should make sure you're getting the best quality (as with any foods) - meaning pesticide-free and grown with natural fertilizers only and in nutrient rich soil with climate conditions ideal for the plant. If you tick all those boxes, eating fruit could never be a bad thing unless you're a diabetic.
But you don't become a diabetic from eating fruit. That's accomplished from *refined* carbohydrates, which do include pasteurized fruit products.
So, to repeat myself: *NEVER buy or consume **_pasteurized_** fruit products!* And preferably, don't cook with fruit or sugar, natural or otherwise.
Thanks for the info. I will continue to eat my fruit.
Agree with you completely, Arexodius.
Nice 👍

The extra sugar in fruits is only a problem if you eat a lot of sugar in other foods as well. If you get most of your sugar from fruit and don't eat junk food or candy, then it should not be a problem.
interesting reply. your experience means somthing worthwhile to me. thanks for sharing
Slot Racer Guy, you are absolutely right 👍💯
I just recently heard of Ayervedic a week ago, looking into it I see I follow some of it's principles, others I strive for. I've had a wicked sweet tooth all my life, eating fruit is the least of my problems.
I dont wanna say thats dumb but thats dumb. Literally just fast. Eat during a 6hr window and fast for 18hrs. No need to eat every 8hrs. Thats dumb. Youll get better resukts from IF. Thats the bible says you feast when the sun is up, and you fast when the sun is down. Cause theres a time your body needs to eat and then a time for it to digest and rest. I fit all my macros in 2 meals a day within a 6-8hr eating window. Then i fast afterwards. Im now in the best shape of my life and the strongest ive ever been.
At this point we can't eat anything 😂💀
non GMO grass is okay
Eat raw liver egg whites. Drink milk or plain water or tea with no sugar. Is it so hard. Holy sht.
We've been eating everything, and look at the obesity rates.
Of course you can! You can eat celery, have an egg white once a week, only drink water and when you get hungry, eat some ice chips rolled up in lettuce! Yummm! I'm not feeling depressed at all!
The problem is most experts link the sugar in fruits in the same catagory as sugar in cookies, candy bars, and doughnuts. 2 totally different sugars.
he knows that. fructose is apparently very bad for you tho
Trust me this guy is no "expert"
@@dianeibsen5994your smarter than Dr Berg, ok
He really should have made it clear to minimize fruit consumption, not eliminate it. I doubt he has totally eliminated fruit from his diet.
@@annemccarron2281 I did. There are tribes and population out there that do not eat fruit and vegetables at all and they are still fine.
I learn so much from watching your videos. As a result, i have made some significant dietary changes (reduced carbs, cut out breads and pastas, increased green vegetables and intermittent fasting). I started walking 30 - 60 minutes several times a weeks and drinking filtered or bottled water. It's been a little less than 2 months and so far I've lost about 8 pounds of mostly belly fat - which is very noticeable as I have a thin frame and I am not very tall. I feel like a new person! Thanks so much for the life changing, honest, no frills, no sales, gimmick-free, health advice. You are saving lives.
Not even sourdough??
Wonderful! Happy to help!
@@RunninUpThatHillh Not even sourdough...it hurts sometimes. i really love bread
good job... im doing the same and feel better than I have for years.... its now habit for me... cheers
Great job! I'm slowly doing similar. Cut out caffeine now for two months, am increasing exercise. Much better at drinking water and having an eating window. Also worked on healing my gut.
Idk what vegetables i need to eat but I’ve eaten broccoli plenty of times and it doesn’t have the same effect when i drink a smoothie. I make myself a smoothie often when i wake up, at least every other day. I definitely can tell a huge difference on how my skin looks and it feels smooth and soft too. I just use strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, squeeze 3 key limes in and use apple juice for my smoothie and it seems to have very positive effect on my skin.
brocolli has many oxalates that can cause kidney stone, eat in moderation
same!! i was avoiding fruits for half a year just to experiment (i have hormonal acne) and was eating a lot of vegetables everyday, nothing happened! i gave up and started eating fruits again, i try to keep it organic and seasonal, and i don’t know if that’s what helped but my skin has been clearing out so much. I’ve been eating a lot of fruits and meat lately (probably not enough veggies as i should because i think im getting enough fiber from all the fruits i eat anyway) and yeah i feel great tbh
@@Angel-ms7sf i know vegetables can help sometimes but I’ve had more results from eating more fruits. I don’t really pay much attention if its seasonal but i always get organic. I also eat a lot of meat too, always 100% grass fed and i can tell that also effects how good my skin looks too.
You're giving up fruits... but have you also giving up the other bad things like cream cakes, chocolate, sweets, desserts, pizza, etc.?
Because you are not a Herbivore the Juicing actually gets rid of the Cellulose basically the Juicer acts like a Herbivore they have to throw up food too and eat it again to digest it and get rid of the anti nutrients all Vegetables are better in Juice form
I love ya, Dr. Berg, but you have no idea what you’re talking about here. Personal story: In 2020 I was extremely ill, my digestive system was terrible. I juiced for 11 months, only ate meat twice a week and supplemented with Vitamin D, B12 shots and Enzymes. Turned my bad health good. Period. And never harmed my liver, kidneys or A1c. And had all of them checked twice during the process. Again love your content but you’re wrong.
I agree. This is not a good video. I take Eric Berg seriously but this is makes me think otherwise...
Like he said, this is only data, it’s up to you what to do with it.. sadly you guys become judgy.. it’s like blaming a textbook when you read it..

@@risingisaac1394 in about 10 - 20 decades from now, most likely not

Noooo it's full of sugar!
Not everything is about blood sugar. Fruit contains a lot of stuff that is very good for us and also helps us to stay healthy and slim, polyphenols, fibre etc.
Yes, modern day fruit contains massive amounts of sugar. They are bred to contain sugar, to be sweet. A glass of orange juice contains more sugar than a glass of coca-cola.
@@boink800 Most of the orange juice is from concentrate and has added sugar. That is completely different from juicing real oranges
@@la6136 Nope, you got this totally wrong. Even without the added sugar, a glass of orange juice contains more sugar than a glass of coca-cola. If you cannot handle this truth bomb, this is your problem. The modern day orange has been bred for its sweetness/sugar content.
Just because they have healthy nutrients, does not make them good for you. If I give you a bowl of cyanide with healthy vitamins and minerals mixed in, is it healthy now? The human body does not need fiber and many interventional studies have shown that adding fiber to the diet has no discernable benefit. Polyphenols are not good for you either, they are major component of a plants toxic defensive system to avoid being eaten.
Vegetables has more polyphenols and nutrients so I ditched fruit and eat lots of veggies, good thing I don’t have hunger pangs anymore since ditching fruits
Sir, I am a 50 plus lady and I start my day with a large size bowl of all sorts of mixed fruits, because I believe that it is God made food, so I eat as much as I can, and my skin is beautiful and I believe it is better than processed sugar. Fruits contains, fiber, enzymes, antioxidants and above all it has tons of healing properties for every cell in the body that is why God has given us such beautiful fruits to consume to be joyful and healthy, which is my personal belief. I consume fruits only for breakfast because our body needs sugar as fuel for the entire day, so that is why I eat fruits only for breakfast.
Bananas as we know it are genetically modified in the first place because the natural banana is toxic to human beings. So spare us this God talk.
Our body bots not need sugar at all. But I believe fruits are made to be eaten thats how they reproduce. Their seeds doesnt break down in our digestion and they get perfekt nutrients to grow from our or other animals poop
Yash facts
@@fullerswinney1051 No, not facts, these are feelings. Did God make fruit, yes, but he didn't make fruit to be eaten all year round. Sugar is sugar, no matter where it comes from, so saying "natural" sugar doesn't make it less impactful. The newest research in fructose is quite alarming in how it affects the liver, promoting NAFLD. Our bodies do not need sugar for the entire day, it really needs minimal sugar at all. Not everyone struggles the same and we all have a different metabolism and thus handle sugar differently. Dr Berg works with the newest science to give the best information for the overwhelming majority of us.
@@rayleonard21 so you telling me animal meat is meant to be eating everyday over fruits and veggies f*** out of here
0:47 #1 Fruits have at least 5 times the amount of sugar compared to veggies
#2 85% of fruit is sugar
#3 fruits have very low protein, fat, iron, B vitamins, calcium, zinc, omega 3, vitamn D
1:53 Berries are okay if you have half a cup or a cup a day
2:27 Kiwi has a lot of vitamin C but also very high in oxalates which is not good for kidney stones
3:00 What's unique about fructose is that there's going to be less suppression of ghrelin which means you're going to be less satisfied
3:47 Also when you consume excess fructose it can spike cortisol and that can increase insulin indirectly
4:06 People that consume A LOT of fructose whether from HFCS or they're consuming a lot of fruit can end up with a fatty liver and insulin resistance indirectly
4:24 Dr. Berg's recommendation: Eat your veggies, skip the friut, maybe have a little bit of berrie, maybe occasional kiwi if you want
@@luloops I will keep eating what's healthy for the body.
Thanks for the neat summary
U r a gem!
In other words, no sweets are good for us, period ... fake sugar creates other problems with craving sugar & other internal changes, real fruit causes problems, cane & fructose sugars are bad. What else is there that's sweet?
Any sugar will cause hunger. 3% of sugar is converted to fructose. 10times this, 30% if you obese & metabolically sick. Alcohol is metabolised to the same uric acid as fructose. So it's the same. Eating food with fake glutamine flavor does the same, spikes uric acid causes sugar convention to fructose, hunger. Wheel moved again. The same high dose of regular sugar esp liquid as soft drink. The same high salt intake... The same lots of meat with the same umami flavor/glutamin.
Dehydration also...
Lots of factors to keep in mind. But all comes back to one the same cycle.
Zero sugar, less salt, more hydration (sugar dehydrates), more walking or exercising. That's why Japanese walk, drink zero sugar green tea, eat variety in very small portions plus fermented food with vitamins & probiotics, never eat full, lots of seafood too.
Not sure about fruits.
I completely agree with Dr. Berg as to fruits. I am a 57 year old woman. During my young adult days and into my 40'' 50's I ran marathons, 10k's, half marathons, did strength training as well as yoga regularly, I didn't eat fruits much, but ate a lot of vegetables, avocados, oatmeal, eggs and I was in perfect health. I remained as such to date. However, Lately (12 months now) due to overload of work etc and other external stressors, I no longer workout as often and intensely as before and I incorporated apples, Dijon pear, kiwi, goji berries, figs into my diet and I gained a lot of weight due to slow insulin...Just five days ago, I completely dropped apples, Dijon pear, goji berries, and figs, I noticed a significant difference. What really scared me was that last week Monday, I had , 1/4 size of blueberries, strawberries, one apple, and one kiwi... right after my blood sugar went up so high to the point of me having blurred vision....really scary. After quitting fruits from Tuesday to Thursday and on Friday, I experimented with 5 pieces of strawberries and a quarter cup of blueberries and I was perfectly alright. If you are above 30 and you are not doing 1hr or more high intensity exercises, at least 5 to 6 days a week, please stay away from the fruits, or eat them sparingly, except blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and red raspberries..
As my doc has told me… fruits today are bred and modified to be candy - and not how nature intended. Look up what a banana looked like before we messed with it. Or watermelon - they definitely didn’t come seedless or so sugary. I don’t think there’s doubt there are nutrients in them still, but we’ve messed with nature so much that we’ve turned a good thing into a double edged sword. Her advice is to treat fruit like candy - an occasional treat.
Most underrated comment of the day. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Anything man touches, seems to get ruined. Sad
Well said !
Great comment thank you
i think watermelon juice is a super food? i need to look that up.
I eat 1 orange in the morning, 1 banana in the afternoon, 1 green apple in the evening and few pieces of diced pineapples after each meal. I don't think that will kill me or make me diabetic. Moderation is the key to everything in life.
Every single day? I don't think you're supposed to eat anything every single day.
@@funtimes8296 2-4 eggs every day 😎
As long as it's in calories limit.
Because fruits have sugars and calories obviously.
I used to eat a lot of fruit. Like 5 apples a day and other fruits.
I could eat cherries 1kg easily. But obviously then I get stomach ache and headache. Because too much sugar. 🤣
Had done blood work and doctor said I'm almost prediabetic. As an average guy.
Needed to cut sugar.
Obviously 1 banana and 1 apple not gonna kill anyone.

Avocados are fruit. They have lots of fat and less sugar. All of what Dr. Berg calls "vegetables" at 4:38 are actually fruits.
I'll definitely keep eating fruit, including the sweet fruit. It has fiber, helps keep me regular, and I think it's better than eating candy bars or donuts.
Berg is not a doctor, he is an ideolog. A preacher!
And the fiber slows down the absorption of the fruits’ sugar, thus most fruits won’t really spike ur blood sugar or insulin stuff

I have a controversial experience with eating fruits: consuming them improves my workouts and energy levels but at the same time it causes bloating and flare ups in my joints
blueberries, blackberries and rasberries have anti inflammatory proponents, you can give that a try and see if you still experience those symptoms
Sugar and fructose create inflammation. Sugar causes dehydration & hunger. It slowly destroys mitochondria and you won't have any energy in future. Most of effect is psychological hormonal addiction.
Better check out hypoxia training breath & co2 tolerance promoting more cell energy and longevity of mitochondria. This will give you boost in utilisation of oxygen. For free. I should sell this knowledge lol.
And cod liver and less oxidised fish oils in triglyceride form will fix inflammation. People dont even know eggs are high in omega6... And nearly no healthy omega3 except lots of ALA
Fruit should only be eaten on an empty stomach and NEVER combined with any other food. Fruit eaten correctly passes through the stomach quickly into the small intestines where it is digested (it's not digested in the stomach). Mixed with any other food in the stomach, it ferments ... causing bloating, stomach aches etc.
How do you know it is the fruit?
Dr. Berg I ate my fruits with the peels: lemons, oranges when I make juices, kiwi, grapefruit. I find it helps digest my food.
@Taiwo Omotosho what’s that?
I’m eating the way nature intended and that’s from plants whether that’s fruits, vegetables, or herbal snacks
his videos are usually so strong. i dont eat fruit to exclusion of other nutrient sources. i dont expect to get fat from fruit excepting the avocado which is a fruit and loaded with beta carotein and omega 3 fats arent they Dr Berg ? Avocados contain vitamins in addition to C such as E, K, and B6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. The fiber in fruit slows the uptake of natural sugar which present in low amounts and mixed with other natural and not free sugars readily digestable in the body . We eat them just under ripe to retain the enzymes which aid in digestion. What about the polphenols and cartenoids in fruit which protect from us from disease and oxidative damage.. Fruits such as Watermelon reduce inflammation in the body. Why is the title attempting to be so divisive. I trust you to be informative not triggering. The points you make seem to tie in with over consumption or with fruit excluding other nutrient sources. I really think that most people who are here are not doing that. Please clarify. ive learned SO much from you. this video felt overly simplistic in a way your other videos do not. the case is clear to not eat too much of any fruit or vegetables while not eating anything manufactured. i look forward to your next video. Apples and Oranges are considered low glycemic foods by the way. anyway good luck.
Perfectly said!
I just wrote about the Title of this video above.
Dr Berg, it doesn't fit with your normal Titles and looks like the videos on here that are made by "questionable" "doctors"??
I'm afraid you'll lose followers. Seriously.

Im sorry I really cannot believe fruit is bad for you
As long as you have it in moderate amounts
Anything that comes from nature must be healthy for you
Like cyanide?
😂 sorry. Just everyone someone says it’s natural I think of cyanide. It’s natural to protect oneself, even if one is a plant.
Still- I’m also ok with fruit. On some of the days I work out. Closer to a treat than poison from a box.
THh fruit you eat today comes from factory production processes, it's designed to have high sugar for increased sales. Nature did not create the apples you can buy today.
This is the anthropocentric view of nature. Do you think that nature evolved just so it serves and benefits humans? Try eating some manchineel apples, playing with lions, swimming in lava or breathing underwater. Those are parts of nature too.
Nature has no preference. Humans play a role in it as everything else, but not elements of nature are friendly to human health.
You cannot compare a banana to a donut.
gonna cry? grow up
Fruit is good and has a natural form of sugar. Not processed. Exercise and an active lifestyle are half of the equation. Start eating clean. Eat lots of fruit and egg whites, no yolks.

In my opinion it is Hard to Say dont eat Freitag. So many Researches have shown that Fruits are so Important. Dont Compare Fruits with Vegetables.
Every Single fruit has his own benefits for the body. Blueberries clean your blood,........
There is literally ZERO credible research that shows that fruits are "so important". The evidence that shows the amount of sugars and plant toxins in fruit is abundant however. Humans evolved by eating meat, not plants, plant nutrients evolved specifically to benefit plant biochemistry, not human biochemistry.
if you are healthy its 100% fine to eat fruits
@Mark Victor why? fruit is super healthy! doc is too deep on keto world and think helathy ppl cant eat any sugar
Incorrect. Your health status has no bearing on how much sugar and plant toxins you are ingesting when eating fruit, every person will handle it differently but at the end of the day you are ingesting the exact same amount of crap as an unhealthy person.
I agree
I live in Italy and I eat fruit everyday. I walk everywhere burning off all the sugars in my fruity diet. Watermelon is literally my favourite food, truly the nectar of the Gods🍉🍉🍉. I'm a Caribbean woman my great grandmother lived to be 103 eating fresh fruit everyday of her life. I'm eating a very Mediterranean diet now and am the healthiest I've ever been.
Your grandma doesn't count, because she only represents 0.25/4 of the population. Longevity is mostly genetic, but that doesn't change the fact that fruit is still unhealthy. Plus, watermelon has a lot of sugar. Not healthy...

I’m sure you’re aware as Dr Berg that the human body is optimised for glycogen as a fuel source. Yes we need protein and fat, however no one eats fruit for the protein or fat content. Literally the best reason for consuming fruit is the antioxidants, vitamins and fibre content, and including them as part of a balanced diet.
Agree and once you're within the healthy weight range, fruit is good for you.
completely agree... this man obvs has a lot of knowledge around nutrition as do i myself but the problem is this ketogenic diet where you eat minimal carbs 20-50g per day is so unrealistic and unsustainable for most people. Especially for people who are training very hard and want to build muscle etc. Carbs are good it's about picking the right ones - simple sugar on its own is not good but if you have sugar from fruit you are getting antioxidants which are extremely important for good health as well as phytonutrients. The key is to build good habits and maintain a healthy balanced diet which you can stick to in the long term . Anyone can then get into shape due to maintaining a good diet.
Our body can produces its own glycogen without eating cards. We have essential fats and protiens, but no essential carbs. It is called gluconeogenesis. It occurs during starvation, as well as after meals high in fat and protien without carbohydrates.
I eat avocado everyday. It tastes so good and the fat contains omega 3.
one of the best fruits these avocados
Technically no plant food contains Omega-3, including avocados, plants contain ALA (Alpha-linolenic acid) which is not really Omega-3, it is a precursor to Omega-3 and has to be converted by the human body, however our bodies are very poor at the conversion (less than 10%), no plant based food is a good source of Omega-3.
I'll still eat fruit. There's nothing wrong with them, if nature made them edible. But we should focus mainly on local fruit, so in my country it would be: berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries black currant and so on), also apples, pears and cherries. Besides - if you eat, you raise insulin no matter what (protein raises blood sugar much more than fat), so eating fruit after meal does no difference. And they contain many vital nutrients.
For me the key is to eat 2 meals a day and minimum 12 hours of break between last meal and first meal the next day. I feel better than ever before. But I eat fruit, together with meals.
Sadly you are working on a false hypostasis "they contain many vital nutrients" the facts trotted out today is based on tests ~100years old carried out on fruit that was not created in industrial production facilities sprayed with chemicals and selected based on sugar content to ensure repeat customer purchase not optimum health. Find an old person and ask them if fruit 50 years ago had a better taste than sweet fruits today? Modern high sugar fruits give a insulin spike as opposed to old-fruit which gave a lower spike.
@@SpamMouse yeah dates and mangoes before had lower sugar 🙈😂
Vital nutrients are only unlocked by cooking (i.e. freezing, heating, etc).
That's the same sugar, nature makes poison also!
"protein raises blood sugar much more than fat"...what does that have to do with fruit/fructose? the point that you're missing is that fruit and fructose raises insulin levels far more than protein or fat. also fruit has very little nutrients, it's mostly sugar and waters.
Fruits have one purpose that is fattening planteaters up for the winter. We are equipped with a ‘sweet tooth’ to ensure we do just that. Plant and plant eaters live in a sort of symbiose, they need seed spreading, we need fat for the winter. Fructose in large quantities forces the liver to convert it to fat but fructose is toxic in the long run and nature knows that do its only available a few weeks each year. The problem is we eat it each day year after year and that is the root cause of nearly all illnesses we have.
Ok can we eat anything that is good for the body?
Lol I guess a good balance and maybe a bland diet is good but who knows
Yes azz
Yep! He’s got plenty of videos on the good stuff to eat
@Marty Winston I cringed at your comment
@Marty Winston why are you being condescending? Maybe he really doesn’t know! The goal is to be a help to each other!
I wish there wasn't so much GMO fruit because years ago, watermelon with seeds tasted much better, cantelope and other melons were juicy and had a much better taste. Eating GMO fruit is like eating fake food. I remember as a kid eating watermelon on our porch and spitting out the seeds, it was like a game for us, it was fun and yummy.
No way! I've lost a lot of weight eating almost a kilo of fruit every day (mostly guava, cantaloupe and some pineapple). Getting protein and fat from eggs, chicken and some whey. Works just fine.
I’m with you on this one
My fav fruits guava, cantaloupe and pineapple 🥰
Assuming fruit is around 10% sugar, you're basically eating 100g of sugar a day from your fruit - that's excessive.
The averge American consumes 77g of sugar a day.
The American Heart Association suggests men should have 37.5g of sugar per day, and women 25g per day.
Everything in moderation.
Just 1 piece/serving of fruit per day is enough.
And eat naturally... why are you even eating whey?
Dr Berg,
I have studied alot of your videos. As a practicing nutritionist for over 40 years, I agree with so many of your principals.
Having gone through estrogen dominance, gallbladder removal, breast cancer and then menopause, my metabolism hit a major stumbling block.
So, I have put into play moderate Keto and intermittent fasting.
My concerns on too many "NO's" in your recommendations are the negative effects it might have on populatiions of people that struggle with Anorexia, Bulemia, Orthorexia and the like.
I see so many issues with demonizing particular foods, that I could never stroke weight loss and healthy eating with a narrow brush..
I did to make changes....stress is my worst enemy...but I am learning to deal with it...along with adherence to your many recommendations.
eat fruits daily and watch your stress melt away along with all other diseases.
I agree with you. I'm allergic to eggs, intolerant to dairy, and can't stand the taste of seafood. So that really doesn't leave me much if I go full keto. Eating is an enjoyable thing for many, it can really be depressing when you are around others enjoying the things you love and not being allowed to eat it. Sure you might overcome some of your health problems, but you'll replace that with depression and then the cycle will repeat. Even worse!

What most people have forgotten, because it is probably what you would call "ancient wisdom" now, is that when we eat with nature we did it right. We had no choice. For instance, berries ripen in spring. They helped cleanse the system of the heavy meat diet of winter. fruits like grapes, apples, etc come in in the fall. The high sugar content causes weight/fat gain in preparation for winter. That's why apples, pears , watermelon etc don't come in spring.
Very wise
Very attuned to nature. God made it that way Dr Berg, it worked and helped humans for centuries. It’s only until nations became industrial that we have messed things up.

Thank you so much for your reply it is so good to hear from people that have common sense very very good information thank you nature is the best
@@paulpaul9914 Yes. That’s the way God made and wants things (wonderful you added music…).
Good for you about the apple a day! I read that the seeds are good at fighting cancer, so eating the whole apple is good for us. Anything we can do to help keep ourselves healthy is worth doing. The Lord gave us all we need. We just need to learn how to use and take care of His gifts. Continue to do well and take care.

My mom was born and raised in the blue zone Sardinia, they sure eat tons of fresh picked fruits right from their own trees, every day.
It makes sense. Many years ago, a colleague shared that her doctor advised to stay away from fruits for they’re high in sugar. Back then, the younger and less evolved me couldn’t comprehend that and thought it was a wrong advice (cuz I enjoyed fruits). But now I see it, and I’m in complete agreement to what is shared here. We are just very conditioned since young being told that fruits is good. It does have its merit, but if we don’t need that extra sugar in our body, why feed ourselves with it?
He didn't say fruits have also lots of minerals not only vitamins. That's why you should eat them.
You just gave the argument essentially for meat.
Conditioned? Nature gave u this superfood
Nonsense!
Fruits are very good for the body,.
Fruits do not cause fatty liver.
God made fruit to eat, God has never made any mistakes ever.
Then why does the human mouth water when people see mangoes or strawberries, while it doesn’t happen at all at the sight of broccoli, wheatgrass, or pigs? I reckon the body knows best.
Hey Dr. Berg we realize you are the smartest DR on earth but I will be eating fruit daily. There are many benefits from fruits that have been around for centuries
I hope you know that in the past fruits had a way less sugar.
Smoking can relax you (by poisoning your body with toxins, as well restricting oxygen flow)... does that mean we should all be smoking more to benefit from the relaxation it offers?
Based on what facts? Sources please
You are eating fruits because of your addiction and attachment to sugar. Stop lyi g about health benefits.
In addition fruits in ancient times were natural and seasonal. Today's fruits are GMO's which have been extra sweetened and colorized. They are toxic.
Centuries? As compared to how long human beings have been on earth??? hahahah naive at best
I’m sorry you lost me on this one Dr. Berg. What’s life without these God-given natural goodies? Goodness, what pleasures are left? 🤷🏽♀️
What makes you think that God modified ancient fruits for higher-sugar content and increased sales? You have been brainwashed by TV adverts.
nothing natural about them
@@fireflamess Don't talk rubbish
I believe they have more sugar than they have in the past.
Exactly
Showing an image 0:56 of WHITE REFINED CANE SUGAR while talking about FRUIT is not an accurate comparison.. lots of fruit may not be keto friendly but eating fruit, whole food.. regularly is not harmful..
It all turns into glycogen in the liver. Same damage. It's all the same.
@Marty Winston To people that eat fruit and are healthy and aren't unwell.. use your senses and empirical evidence
Nah bro buggin fruit LOADED with B-vitamins, and tons of other micronutrients
There's a big difference between eating isolated fructose and getting fructose from the full matrix of fruit, which contains antioxidants, enzymes, and fiber to balance it out and slow the assimilation of the fructose into smaller increments at a time. The key is to eat the fruit just under-ripe or at the exact peak of ripeness, NOT when it's overripe, as then it gets rid of its enzymes and turns into pure sugar. The other key is to eat fruit ONLY during its natural season, which in most cases is spring and summer. God made it this way so that we're outside more often and moving around more so we can burn off what we need to. Do NOT eat fruit in the winter when you're supposed to be storing food.
Underrated comment
Big up 🤍🕊
what do you eat during the winter then
vegatables don’t grow in the winter either
Exactly! Eat local and until it lasts in your root cellar. I was watching plenty of videos about people living in Uzbekistan - people live long, healthy lives because they grow their food and drink spring water.
The more i watch Dr.Berg, the less food i can eat without feeling guilty🤣
Dr Berg is sometimes wrong
😂😂
🤣
@Mark Victor yes, that's the magic word: moderation. There's no life without ice cream😄
@Mark Victor Ice cream is a bad example, there's sugar free versions of ice cream that tastes just as good as normal ice cream, natural sweeteners such as Xylitol and erythritol tastes and are almost identical to sugar, but the difference being that those natural sweeteners have no negative impact on the body whatsoever and can actually have some positive effects such as improving gut health.
literally any product containing sugar can be replicated using Xylitol or erythritol.
I eat berries (raspberries, blueberries, sometimes strawberries), but I cut out the majority of fruit-eating years ago. Never felt better! I used to try to include things like apples, bananas, nectarines, etc. and it just left me feeling bloated and depleted after all the insulin spikes caused by all this modern high-sugar fruit. The bulk of vegetables I eat is basically various salad greens.
I always associated fruit with antioxidants. Is there a better way to get those in the body?
I used to eat 3 to 5 servings of fruit each day. I had a fatty liver, and yes, I was overweight. I now eat fruit, but it’s the juice from one to two lemons per day. I’ve reduced my weight and feel better. My fatty liver is gone!
Same 😃
The fresh fruit gave you the fatty liver?? What else were you eating?
making people afraid to eat certain foods is more damaging than the food itself
I tend to listen to everything Dr Berg has to say.but at some point as humans we have to use common sense. If we hang on every word about everything we shouldn't be eating. We would have a pretty limited and boring existence.
Absolutely 💯
grow up. drop the sugar
@@fireflamess 0 to do with maturity. Everything to do with preference.
You do what’s best for you and allow others to do what best for them. There’s no one diet that’s right for the same two people.
@@pronounsconspiracytheorist 0 to do with what's best for them. Everything to do with excuses.
People eat fruits so they can eat sugar and not feel guilty by using the excuse that it's "healthy".
Exactly
Love these videos. I’m not going to agree or disagree… Just stating my personal experience I was off fruit for many years because I was told it would spike my glucose levels. Recently, I decided to find out for myself by reintroducing it to my diet
. I was very surprised to find out that eating fruit does not spike my glucose at all. It is also positively impacted the way I feel and my digestion. I’m definitely sticking to fruit! I wouldn’t tell anyone else, too… But this is the way it is for my body. Thanks for the video.
It does not spike your glucose because fruit is primarily sucrose. And you are not measuring sucrose. You are only measuring glucose, and fruits might not cause a glucose spike if you eat reasonable amounts. But your sucrose will be high, if you measure it
@@PadmaRaoShastry I’m no expert, I just go by how I feel and the science I read. From what I understand, the liver converts it to glucose. If you have any scientific links to show me otherwise I would love to read it. Thanks for your input..
Fruits have fiber and fiber protects from glucose spikes. I'm astounded that the doctor doesn't know that and makes such a bad claim.
I go with Paul Saladino on this one: fruits are the only non-toxic plant food. Unlike veggies and seeds for example, which have plenty of defense chemicals in them. So I prefer fruits before all other plant foods.
I heard this about that approach and it makes sense to me- Paul is living a very athletic lifestyle and can get away with eating a lot of sugar. Applying his approach the average person is not straightforward. Do you do physical activity 3, 4, 5 hours a day?
@@naelna not all sugars are the same. Natural fructose in fruits is very different from artificial sugars. It's not harmful. Mankind is used to eating fruit since prehistoric times.
Saladino's diet is "animal based", which means the focus is on meat and organs. Fruits are just added. So this is not about "getting away with eating lots of sugar".
@@makiserpunkt2179 ok that does make sense. Enjoy your meat and fruite :-) . I don't think there is only one right way of eating. For me- I prefer Keto- under 50g of carbs mainly from veggies. If I eat fruit I eat very little of it. Like 50g of watermelon. Not a 200g of warermelon.
@@naelna thank you. I did keto for about a year and a half. It didn't work for me. From my experience I'd like to suggest to at least avoid all seed oils. Besides fat from animals the only "ok" plant oils are olive, avocado and coconut. Good luck.
@@makiserpunkt2179 Ye sure that is a known recommendation in Keto. I do not consume seed oils
absolutely nothing wrong with eating fruit daily. i cant tolerate any plant based foods due to MCAS and would kill to have fruit again
Isn't there a big difference between what we call sugar (refined sugar) and what is found in fruit? I understand the caloric value is roughly the same but isn't there a big difference in the way your body responds to either type of sugar?
I think the pancreas would be the best person to answer that.
@@NerdNest0 Eat more cakes, lots of them. If thirsty at night drink coke cola after eating a pizza with extra toppings, you need to keep your energy up don't you?
Sugar is sugar, read up on teh different types and the liver. Your health is your choice.
@@SpamMouse Who pulled your hair, my God. No everyone agrees about everything.
SUGAR is SUGAR
are bananas high in fructose? As to veggies, aren't they high in anti-nutrients?
Fruit we eat now is not the same as the fruit our grandparents ate. It has been bred to be super sweet with a long shelf life. The nutrients are now very low, and the pesticide levels are high. See EWG for extra details.
For me, fruits are 90 percent of my diet. I recovered from arthritis after many years with only a diet of fruits and some vegetables.
He won't like ur video for saying that. Fruit is amazing Dr.berg is wrong about this one lol
@@vanmedya8699 wrong about a lot of things.
Steve Jobs also only ate fruit. How'd that work for him?
@@PipSqueekOG when ur dying of cancer fruit isn't gonna really help lol
@@vanmedya8699 probably accelerated his cancer.
He said you can take it or leave it. I'll leave it.
I LOVE FRUITS
No one eats only fruits. So why would we look for protein and fat intake from fruits!?!
Warning, you might not eat again after watching more videos from Dr Berg 😂
Your videos changed me for the better good and made me realize how beneficial fasting is. Thank you.
Not a huge fruit person love organic berries lemon lime and cherries
We need tiny amount of fat but some people have hard time digestion it especially when u have digestive issues
seriously, i dont think he recommends eating anything but grass fed free range red meat and eggs. all of his videos are basically "DO NOT EAT THAT"...
Exactly 😂😂
Fasting is only beneficial for body maintenance, but keto has the same effect without hunger and lost nutrients.
Fruits is super food. It gives you long lasting energy and a lot of vitamins. There is a people who only eat fruits and they are usually super healthy. I wish all of you good health and happy life.
I agree with you . I ate so much fruit as a Diet for 4 months . I never felt better in my life . I had a variety of all kinds of fruits in high amounts I would eat it as a meal sometimes like a brunch . I will eat veggies , carbs and protein too tho . I want to implement fruits in my diet again like I used too.
I grew up in Jamaica and the idea of not eating fruit is crazy to me. I’m sorry. The fruit available in Jamaica is one of the best things about life.
Mangoes make life worth living haha
Mangoes are my favourite! And I agree with you completely.
Right on. Keto people are going off the rails.
@@katscully My grandfather lived to be 106 years old. He loved him some mangoes😁
@@jamlisa4696 Smart man!
🥭🥭🥭🥭!!!!!! Eat your fruit 😋
It’s not refined sugar in fruit. Huge difference.
Too far ! Everything in moderation.
That's just silly now.
Just too far Dr Berg.
Your channel is great with lots of good information for people to make their own informed decisions.
There is benefit in everything.
The question one must ask is why are we being sold particular "foods"? Is it for our health benefit or that of the people SELLING us their products. Look at TV advertising for orange juice.
@@SpamMouse everyone is trying to make a buck. I try to make my meals and eat natural foods. It's difficult after a life of brainwashing 😞
I am really asking myself how much fruits do people eat in the US that we have to make videos about the problem with eating too much of them. Are people swallowing 14 apples per meal or....?
@ Beautifully Blessed. I totally agree with you. I’m not giving up my favorite fruit. I eat all types and not just berries.
I'm going to watch this with an open mind. But I still think eating fruit is Far and Away better than eating anything man-made or ice cream.
Fruit also is loaded in fiber to account for the fact that it contains sugar - there’s a huge difference between processed sugars and sugar from fruit - this video is a bit extreme -
I might be an idiot, but my feeling is that anything that comes straight out of the earth ready to eat cannot be that bad for you. Yes it probably wasn't made to be lived off of exclusivity, or swallowed in obscene quantities, but I'd bet my hand NO fruits deserve to be skipped.
Thanks for great video Dr. Berg. Unfortunately in our times industrial food products are overloaded with sugar. It makes awareness about sugar in fruits even more important.
Fruits are healthy and everybody should eat them!
Why is it so healthy?
Fruits are sugar -- avoid them like the plague.
@@boink800 I suppose the Creator put an abundance of fruit on the Earth because they're akin to a plague for us. He couldn't have known what He was doing!
@@jeandixon586 Modern day fruit did not exist even 100 years ago. Modern day fruit is a franken-fruit, bred for its sweetness.
@@boink800 Yes, you're right. The Globalists have messed with our food for a long time.
I changed my diet to only have fruit in the morning and I thought I was making good improvements. Now I’m just confused. I feel like no matter what it’s always something.
The constant conflicting information is out of hand. I try to make my own meals and choose quality foods. I eat twice a day mostly and include berries and the occasional peach, plum, kiwi or pear. I invision my grandparents and their diet. They moved constantly working on their farm, so I try to walk daily. My grandparents raised chickens, pigs and ate what was available on their land, like coconut, citrus, banananas, plantains etc. In the tropics that season never changed. I suggest everyone listen to their bodies and eat a balanced diet, not too much of any one thing, move more and eat more leafy greens and eat from the broccoli family. Try tea and be sure to get good sleep. Common sense things, like reduce sugar and remove processed items as much as you can.
I've been eating only fruit in the mornings for 33 years, but it must be on an empty stomach. Harvey Diamond's books Living Health, and Fit For Life explain the incredible benefits of fruit, but they must be correctly eaten (not with or after other foods). Carry on as you are! Dr Berg has NOT researched fruit deeply, as evidenced by the brevity of this video. People are absolutely fixated with protein ... As though it's the only thing we need. God created fruit trees, and I think He knew what he was doing 😁
@@jeandixon586 appreciate your response and thank you. I read the book a few months ago and I started following his recommendations the next day. I feel amazing
Stay away from fruits and vegetables, they are no healthy for human
@@mikimiki6202 I totally agree with you. Do your research, listen to your body and do what’s best for you. I am going to continue to eat fruit regardless of what anyone says.
My aunt was having trouble with her heart. God told her to eat bananas. She did and the heart problem went away.
what kind of bananas does she consume? organic or non organic
@@zefsagala8327 Just regular bananas I'm pretty sure. God never told her they needed to be organic. That's just what radicals seem to be teaching us these days.
@@bobbyadkins6983 if im dealing with insomia..should i be consuming bananas? bananas are high in sugar..and sugar can disrupt sleep right?
This one I won’t be able to comply with. Love your vids. Very informational and has helped me for the better. Thank you for your work!
Water doesn't have any protein yet we drink it. According to your theory, we shouldn't drink water. And i don't understand the battle between Americans & Sugars, like Processed and Natural Sugars are different. Natural sugars are essential to your body for energy like carbs, and these sugars aren't addictive. Hear me out, Meats are for strenght, Veggies are for healthy function & fruits are for longevity of life
Me: eats healthy fruits instead of processed products.
Dr Berg: let me show you the benefits of not eating anything at all.
breatharianism
Basically.
😝😝😝😝😝
Just fast and drink lemon juice. Oh, and a bit of sauerkraut for a snack!
😂
What do you want us to eat
Now that everything is bad
If things like blueberries, strawberries, watermelon, bananas, gooseberries, etc., are too terrifying to eat, I'll just skip the video. These foods give quality to my life.
Berg out of bounds on this one
Berries are fine and low on the glycemic index. It also depends on the person because fruit can be inflammatory for some people like me. I can't eat much without sparking a sugar frenzy. Even natural sugar can trigger inflammation if eaten at the same sugar levels that were lost before going low carb and refined sugar free. You have to look at what he says in context. He talks about in one of his videos being addicted to ice cream and Doritos which sounds a lot like what I experience even if I eat grapes but know this is probably from his personal experience but it can be the experiences of others. Eat in moderation if you can. But if you can't like me because it starts you on an addiction you need to avoid any fruit high on the glycemic index and load and just pay careful attention to your eating habits and body after you eat a particular fruit and when you eat a bit more of it.
I'd like to add bananas can be sugary but eating in smaller amounts should be ok and I love watermelon 🍉 but I'll eat a whole one in one sitting because of my body wanting to replace carbs but I find it a little bit easier for myself to restrain myself with watermelon than pineapple, grapes and other fruits high on the glycemic index
I have insulin resistance and too much fruit puts my blood pressure through the roof .. so He is right as far as Im concerned
Warning, you may never eat food again after watching Dr. Berg
Fr, this channel probably sparks some eating disorders.
I can't eat bread and I can't eat chicken and I can't eat fruits. I'm gonna stop watching his videos before I can't eat anything!
Fruits are excellent for your health when eaten in their whole state.
I wish I knew this when I was young.. All this is relative! And depends on your Output. If your an Athlete or someone or trains hard you will need to consume more natural sugars. As opposed to someone who sits down all day, keep your consumption low like he said. You can't operate efficiently on a deficit.
Always the best information! I love all these videos and have changed how I eat and think.
1 Timothy 4:4.
Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks.
Fruits are super food. The candy sugar although called fructose is artificial, not the same as in fruits. Moreover, fruit sugar comes with many more nutrients and fibers. All this makes fruit sugar something else than just sugar. Insulin resistance is caused by animal eating - protein and fats.
