Fruit is high in sugar and isn’t really so healthy.

Someone asked me, if sugar is so bad then why is fruit so healthy?
First of all, I never said that fruit was so healthy, okay? It’s not part of a healthy keto plan. That being said, let me explain.
The fruits we consume now are hybrids, and over the years they’ve been bred to become sweeter and sweeter. Honey crisp apples, for example, have 19 grams of sugar. Take a look at a crabapple; it doesn’t have 19 grams of sugar.
Fruits should be seasonal. If you’re consuming them all year, that’s not really natural. Some people don’t differentiate between whole fruit and fruit juice. But fruit juice is without fiber and nutrients because it’s pasteurized. It’s heated, which kills a lot of the enzymes and heat-sensitive vitamins. Juice is basically pure sugar as compared with whole fruit which has vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and fiber.
The fruit has nutrients that are protective against DNA damage and diseases like diabetes. However, it also has a great amount of sugar called fructose. Fructose doesn’t go to all the cells in the body like glucose does. It all goes to your liver. This means it doesn’t spike your blood glucose as much as sugar.
You might think this is good, but the point is that your liver has to deal with all of the fructose you eat. If you eat too much, it could lead to insulin resistance, which will raise your insulin.
If there’s too much fructose for your liver to handle, it will convert it to fat, cholesterol, and triglycerides. Because of the high percentage of people who have problems with blood sugar and prediabetes, I recommend you stick with a small amount of berries, not fruit.
Diabetes is a disease of high blood sugar, so why would you want to consume fruit and add more sugar to your diet?

Fruit is high in a sugar called fructose, which can be hard on your liver and raise your insulin.
Refined sugar should be classed as a drug.
Yes i agree with you
Sugar is already a drug.
But you can't ban a titanic source of income. And addiction won't allow for regulations.

I'm start to develop fear of eating food. It's killing me. Everything is bad for you.
I remember as a child eating fruit in season. Watermelon, plums, and picking wild raspberries. My dad would splurge once a year on a pineapple. Of course, apples, oranges, and bananas were cheaply, mass marketed, so we got plenty of those. But we really looked forward to the seasonal fruits.
So we just need to do the basic
- Eat fruit in the season ✔
- Don't eat everything too much, including fruit ✔
- Do exercise ✔
And a thing: fruit is not for you. It's for your gut bacteria families.
Pretty much. We tend to complicate things when there's no need.
Sleep!
Lower stress
Sleep
@@heatherb912 We should NEVER complicate things, no matter what.
We work to be what?
What we are searching for?
To have what?
Now look, we have everything we need right here, on trees, earth, rivers, etc..
@@heatherb912 what was so complicated about this video? Look, there is SUGAR in fruits. But it isn't noticeable because all of it goes to the liver. However, excess of this fruit sugar aka, Fructose, can cause insulin resistance, increase in cholesterol and formation of triglyceride , all which promote diabetes and obesity and many other sugar, heart and liver problems
For the first time I've understood the difference between glucose and fructose. There is quite a lot to learn. Thanks, Dr Berg!
Me too
im not into satanic witches myself
It's basic organic chemistry..
this video doesn't explain glucose.
Glucose is the sugar the brain needs for food.
Thank you. Fruits have always been a puzzle to me. So many years hearing that they are good and healthy. Such a revolution in my world being from Brazil that fruits are everything. But indeed things are different. My dad used to throw the seeds of the fruits he had in the garden and they used to grow. Nowadays he throws and nothing grows anymore. Everything is dead already when we buy. Only the nusty sugar never dies. Lol
Fruit is incredibly good for you in Moderation, it’s just not Keto-friendly.
It depends on the person really. I can eat fruit but I do it in moderation with my main focus being on berries, lemons and limes.
All the vitamins and mineral which are in fruit are also in vegetables. Fruit is no better than vegetables, the only difference is that fruit has loads of sugar.
Not necessarily as per this video. If you are diabetic fruit is not so good for you. The same is true if you have been struggling with Insulin Resistance. And most of us who are following Dr Berg are dealing with IR. We were lied to FOR DECADES by government, by the heath care industry, our doctors, by mainstream media. They said...breakfast most important meal of the day...baloney. Eat lots of small meals with snacks between...baloney. Eat a low fat diet to lose weight...baloney. Fruits are good for you and you need a certain amount daily...not necessarily.
@@dreamdiction theres nothing wrong with sugar from whole fruits. It's digestion is not even similar to refined sugar.
@@xq39 Anyone who is trying to control their calorie intake needs to avoid fruit and get all their vitamins from vegetables.
We NEEDED this video. So many in Facebook do not understand this.
In nature fruit is supposed to be natural, but nowadays sometimes they are available all the time. Not to mention making them seedless as well
Yes, collect seeds whilst you can to sow next year.
It's imported where they apply antifreeze (poison) to the product when it comes from overseas. That's why you only eat fruit that is in season!
it's important to remember that importing food is one reason why we have fruits year-round but also that the big supplier of it, Mexico, doesn't have great health standards so it isn't as clean and has more chemicals added to it for preservation during shipment
@Robert Harris haha
@@MrVal024 bananas are not edible to begin with in nature
I've always thought the differences were just the minerals, vitamins and fibre, but it is more than that. Thanks Dr.Berg.
No, it's really not!
A huge Thank You Dr. Berg for explaining this out. I was a vegetarian for practically all my life. I thought i was missing out not eating the fruits anymore. This video has cleared up some questions. ♥️
Do vegetarians not eat fruits? If so, I did not know that
Fruits in Jamaica are seasonal, so when the season is over we see them no more until the next year. I plant my own fruit trees so that I don't buy puss in bags.
Puss in bags?
Thanks for your contribution to millions of people’s good health!
What he does is sacred
Changed my life, and my husband's. We discoveted IF and keto through Dr Berg over a year ago and have not looked back. We have both had significant improvement in health. Needless to say he lost more weight than me!
If only more people actually took an interest in content like this! Just came back from a visit to my dad's house and was contantly teased about my decision not to eat fruit...

I can't stop eating ice cold watermelon and blueberries this time of year
That sounds good I might buy watermelon today going shopping
And you'll be healthier for It!
I wish I could have watermelon but it is high on glycemic index 😭😭😭
Low glycemic index 👍. I think when you get a craving especially like the monthly it’s a better choice to stave off the bad ones
Ryan Overstreet - I’m with you!!!💯
Thank you Dr. Berg for the helpful information. I quit veganism and I’m learning so much from your channel. Also, you reflect good health, other (plant based) doctors don’t look the part.
This is very interesting. It's great that Dr Berg is able to condense actionable insights in under 3 mins
Could you please make more videos on physiology and how different kinds of foods play different roles, Thank you Dr. Berg!
You're wonderful. Anywhere I go I tell people about keto and how it all works. You are giving a wonderful message!
Alot of fruits are low glycemic loads. Like strawberries or even oranges. I avoided eating them for years because I equated fruits with sugar, and I think it was a mistake. Fruits are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and flavanoids, and they are mostly water, not sugar.
Berries are different from regular fruits in several ways. They contain a lot less sugar and a lot more flavanoids. This is why he ended the video by advising us to stick with berries.
Thank you for all THE HELP Dr Berg. Your videos have really helped me figure out many things about my type 2 diabetes. 🙏
THIS IS ALSO TRUE ABOUT MEAT. HORMONES AND ANTIBIOTICS ARE GIVEN TO ANIMALS, SO THEY PRODUCE MORE MILK, EGGS AND MEAT.
Not to pasture raised grass fed products. I only buy pastured animal products.
@CarlosChip Morales I only eat organic sardines.
I'm only 57 but I look 12.
@@jacobclark2409 Pasture raised has also natural occurring hormones, you're eating an animal, so it will always have tons of hormones, like estrogen
Paul L At least they’re natural hormones that are easily metabolized by the body, and not hormones derived from toxins like soy and antibiotics. The difference between industry grad and pastured animal foods is stark.
So what are we going to eat.....What are we FUCKING GOING TO EAT..... Huh?
I'm left with having kale all day.
Its OK, you're not alone!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right? Smoothies, chips and salad.
I heard kale is a very high phyto toxin which is bad. But then again all veggies have some degree of toxins. And that milk eliminates phyto toxins. So is something is bad then its good? So then fruits is good again. LOL Somethings do not make sense which means more reserch.
@Roman City that's so funny..
Thank you so much for this. A so called nutritionist I know told groups of us that fruit is great! Eat as much as you want. When I told her I didn’t like how fruit made me feel she said it was in my head🙄 I never followed her advice and I’m much better for it
@Buddy Lembeck every fruit has a different glycemic index. Overripe bananas with brown spots are higher in sugar than yellow. Sugar is sugar. The average person has to watch the sugar content in fruit. If your a triathlete have as much fruit as you want
@Buddy Lembeck “real science and history” is too cryptic. We’re just going to disagree. Maybe take it up with Dr. Berg
@Buddy Lembeck If you are insulin resistant fruit IS bad for you.
100% of fructose does not go to the liver. It is circulated and absorbed by almost every cell without insulin. It's actually better than glucose or maltose which is why fruit is better than grains. And all those cells have the Ability to turn fructose into glucose easily. Berg should do more research on this
@@simplesimon1436 I agree. God created fruits for a reason. It is the most nutrient dense foods to consume. I drink a smoothie with different fruits ever day and an the healthiest I’ve ever been 😊
You provide an excellent and balanced analysis of a broad spectrum of health related issues that many people encounter including myself.You possess the incredible ability to simplify complex medical and scientific issues that the average person can understand and apply to their personal circumstances.It is a pleasure listening to your comments and hope you continue this community service.

Many years ago, I was re-taught something about fruit from someone who went to "the islands" for ozone diabetes care. They told her to think differently and to consider mature plant seed pods with the seeds on the inside to be fruits.. it opens up a world of allowed fruits - like avocados, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini etc
Berries would be a different classification.. seeds on the outside (blueberries are weird here)
Thank you Dr.Berg. I feel you are so on it! I ate watermelons and nectarines thinking it wouldn't hurt me eating a little bit of fruit. Well....I ate a lot of watermelon and afterwards, I felt so lethargic and emotionally sad. The same feeling I got with the nectarines also. I knew they were high in carbs, but hey! it's fruit! My body immediately reacted to this ingestion. I feel literally depressed and tired. I hadn't felt any of this when I eat cherries or strawberries. My whole system feels strong and normal. I can get through the day happily. It does matter how and what you put in your body. Since being on Keto, I see and feel the difference. I'm happy, I immensely enjoy my food, I can exercise, I'm more mobile and I don't feel ravenous. I'm really satiated. Your intelligence and knowledge resonates with me. You not only talk the talk, but you walk the walk too. You are giving an incredible gift of everlasting health to those who will listen and take part. I will meet you one day. I plan to come to a Keto convention that you are at so I can Thank you in person for helping me to save my health, and literally, my life. I truly, truly Thank you.
i am basically a fruitarian and i would say the reason to this is not enough calories. dr berg here is missing a few points :)
I like the whiteboards in the videos. They really add to the videos.
I want this whiteboard, wish I knew what kind it was
He should wear glasses 👓 so he can dramatically take them off before he makes an important point..
Yeah
Thank you Dr Berg!! Excellent video!!
I also know that some people are 'allergic' to fructose - or malabsorbant (hope that's the right word in English, I'm Swedish and in Swedish it's spelled that way). The symptoms are about the same as for lactos intolerance. Maybe you could do a video about that, Dr Berg?
Thank you So much --- this was the clearest way I have heard this to finally understand! Thank you for helping my health. God Bless you!
I just eat what I want in moderation, I've grown used to it so I just feel satiated quickly and don't want it as much as I did and don't binge on everything. Also I don't feel deprived of food anymore. This does suit my body
I believe fruit wouldn't be too bad if taken;
Moderately
Have a variety of them and
Organic
Thats how I like my cocaine
@@Fjerid I thought having organic fruits is leaning towards gmo free
Thelma Bukikun
Organic = Non-GMO, but non-gmo doesn't mean organic.
So organic it is.
Exactly! I refuse to eat non seasonal foods, as that is not the way God intended it, a good example is Avocados which is spring fruits best between March and June, if it comes early as some trees are early yielders will be early Feb, so why eat avocado in November, my for Father's never ate like that, they eat what nature provided them seasonally and in varieties, no modification or doctoring.
There are too many varieties for us to survive on. In moderation
@Kelly J, Organic only means that no pesticides or fertilizers were used to grow it, it has nothing to do with GMO. Most organics could still be GMO!
Thanks Dr Berg for making these and keep us on the right track....the healthy one! ☝️👍🏼
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Great video Berg. I don't believe in ketogenic diet but this is good info. We should go in and out of ketosis many times a year. Balance and discipline.
good points, but when you say eatting to much fruit is not "natural" in accordance with seasons - thats not true for much of the human population who live in the tropics. I think it would make more sense to just say its unhealthy rather than unnatural
We grow heirloom (non hybrid) black berries, raspberries and apples. All are pretty tart! We enjoy them in moderation.
Crab apples! We used to have crab apple wars in my grandparent’s orchard when we were kids. 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, in nature there's actually very little sweetness. Even natural berries like raspberries and blackberries are tart. Sugar as we know it is a creation of humankind.
In the USA it’s different but in europe we have pomegranates that are very sour but delicious probably has lower levels of sugar and is very healthy

Its silly when people are stuffing a mcdonalds down them in comparison to a apple lol
It's not bad, just don't over consume. A well balanced nutritious diet + IF + exercise is all you need
That’s not what Dr. Berg said.
Easy as much fruit as you want. No one has got fat from fruit.
Fruitarians are the skinniest people on earth and they also consume the most fructose...
Thomas DeLauer recently did a video where he cited relatively recent research on how fructose is metabolized. Apparently it's quite tough on the liver if consumed in excess.

Dc. Can't find for how long does the páncreas produce insuline after a meal. Can you explain please. Thanks.
depends on what food and how your pancreas reacts to it, generally speaking tho bout 4 hours your insulin should be normal after anything you eat , but again depends rice , corn , sugars like oreos/cookies for me were all way too high after 2 and 4 hours making them terrible foods for me. Other meals like pasta, chicken bbq , steak , chicken ceaser salad, eggs bacon were all good to normal after 4 hours , you should get a glucose meter to know what raises your sugar (makes u fat) , but if not generally speaking 4 hours you should not eat after your meal

This is absolutely true. I grew up in the Palatinate Forest and we still have the original wild fruits and nuts growing within it, just as it was thousands of years ago. And let me tell you, the wild apple is the size of my thumb, extremely hard and fibrous, the wild berries all get eaten by the birds and most of the hazelnuts (and to some degree the chestnuts) get hauled away by the squirrels. Not to mention we also have the european wild boar roaming and deer. The amount of animals way outnumber human population and in the end not much if any at all is left for us. Before agriculture and the neolithic era, we didn't have access to daily fruit, potatoes and nuts. Although considered paleolithic, these foods in excess (longer than 1 season) do more harm than good. The wild growing Sauerampfer (don't know english word) is to die for though, unless the rabbits find it first.

Learn some English. Dr. Berg didn't say don't eat fruits. He said because so many people suffer from blood sugar and pre-diabetes he recommends eating mostly berries. So if you are young or not diagnosed with prediabetes, this video is not applicable to you!

There goes my all time favourite saying: "An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away". This is hard to hear, I love fruit!
Me too. We've always been told to eat fruit. In New Zealand we had a national health thing called "5 plus a day". Basically encouraging people to eat at least 5 or more fruits and veggies every day and if you didnt, then you'd probably be fat and unhealthy 😃. And I always look forward to summer for watermelon, apricots and nectarines.. yum!
Sugar addiction is a cruel mistress.

Avos and Olives are good, low sugar fruits.
Thanks for the information
This video is spot on!
Fruits are the only sugar i consume; usually about 2 bananas (i know they are quite high in sugar), some berries and something like a green apple for example; is that enough to cause insulin resistance? My only other carbs are brown rice and oats (full and without sugar), and im generally more fat/protein heavy and do IF.

Sandwich vegans and vegetarians have a much lower rate of diabetes so there's something more to the story.
No you wont get diabetes especially if you add more fiber in ontop. Remember to eat the salt your body needs since it activates insulin receptors.
