Eating fruit ( fructose ) is fine as the fibre is the key as it creates a barrier to stop the glucose going straight into you blood stream
I also stopped eating added sugar but kept eating fruit and I lost weight
DONT STOP EATING FRUIT !
Taxes only punish addicted people. That is proven to be a failed solution. Cigarettes are taxed out the butt and people still buy them. Education is the key along with outright cessation of manufacture. We need to move people to less destructive life choices. Problem: the politicised medical authority has lost all credibility. So this is all a non starter.
Maybe doctors should start teaching the truth; like don’t eat sugar. 🤔
@vickie burton. I agree. This would take several generations to turn the culture, but it would be resisted by the manufacturers big time. Politicians would hinder it due to lobbying money. It’s an uphill battle.
Great point. Agreed.
The medical community aren’t trained in nutrition. Doctors are trained to diagnose disease and treat the symptoms with drugs. The pharmaceutical companies support the medical schools....
You are only taxed on benefits and privileges dispensed by government. You are not taxed on private rights.
Excellent point about the role of selective breeding (not GMO!) in enhancing the fructose concentration in fruits and vegetables. Most nutritional authorities miss this entirely. As an avid gardener, I've studied the history of fruits, and the surprising thing is that virtually none of the fruits (or vegetables, for that matter) that we eat every day actually exist in nature. Almost all of these have been created by man over centuries. Oranges do not exist in nature in any recognizable form. Naturally occurring apples are more like modern crab apples, hard and bitter---nothing like a Honeycrisp apple, which is a man-made sugar bomb.
"Oranges do not exist in nature in any recognizable form"
Erm, yes they do. They grow on trees throughout my land and I recognize they're an orange.. I do nothing to maintain them..
@@YTviewer118All snark aside, do a little research and you'll be amazed at how few of the things that we buy in the produce section of the supermarket even existed 200 years ago. Those orange trees were "invented" by humans in the relatively recent past, even if they've gone wild on your property. Naturally occurring oranges are tiny mandarins (in China only) and bitter fruits like Seville oranges. There was nothing you could get drinkable orange juice out of. The point is that the fructose levels in modern fruit (and vegetables) are much, much higher than in the stuff our ancestors ate.
Thank you very much for the great sharing Dr Maggs. Your videos are very informative, helpful and comprehensive. Great stuff, and please keep this going.
Glad you like them!
Thanks Dr Dan for another good video packed with sound advice.
Thank you. You do a great job in explaining things without the hard to understand scientific words.
Eating fruit didn't cause the obesity epidemic, nor disease epidemic. Therefore science shows us that fruit is healthy and you can be physically fit eating fruit alongside lean protein & vegetables. Anything that is not ULTRA processed gets a tick in my book. I understand that fruit has been cultivated to be sweeter, however the reality is when you consume fruit compared to lets say, a donut, or a twix, you're going to get more nutrients and your body will feel healthy. Who has EVER developed fatty liver or become overweight by predominantly eating fruit!? I need to see the STUDIES 😂
Thank you Dr Maggs. Great video.
Thanks Lui. Muy informativo y muy buen video
The only fruit I put in my smoothie is a half a cut of organic wild blueberries and the only other fruits I eat is tomatoes and avocado... the nutrition you get from fruits you can get from vegetables....
A wealth of fascinating information. You make it so clear and accessible, thank you. I have a question, since I've never really been overweight, and I generally have had wonderful physical health, would a more paleo approach still be healthy instead of keto? I started keto not to lose weight but to deal with anxiety, which is really really helped. But a few weeks in I am sometimes feeling I need more carbs. This is why I'm wondering if a paleo approach might work for me. Or should I stay keto and just have more carbs when I feel I need it?
Well, I can’t argue with that. So I have made up my mind to ditch the overindulgence with fruit. Thank you for straight talking exactly what I needed to stop eating masses of fruit and gain a more healthy perspective. I have been in denial about this for a very long time. Thank you,😢
Thanks for another good video. Very helpful.
Great video doctor 👍
I love your videos because you’re so easily understood! Thank you for sharing the very important information related to fruits! In the old days we were told they were healthy, but the reality is like many other things they should be consumed in small amounts 😊
This is the best video I’ve seen explaining the science of fruit digestion. Thanks!
Thank you. Great informative video.
Great video! Informative as ever.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for detailed information.
Excellent and well done. No taxation, but I would support an outright ban. But the corn growing industry would implode and they would never let it happen.
Thanks again, Doc.
This was brilliant Dr.! I am in the USA and you may be sure NO PUBLIC HEALTH ENTITY over here ever even hinted that fructose slows your metabolism (yikes!) or makes you hungrier, because the lobbyists and agribusiness political donors make sure they don't! But you explained it so clearly with the hibernating and migrating examples and it makes perfect sense.
Many thanks from Pennsylvania..
A very good presentation, thank you so much.
So interesting. I really didn’t equate the sugar tax to being the same as alcohol or cigarettes but you’re right. If excess sugar causes extra stress on the health system, then I am all for sugar tax!
I'm trying to lose weight, but I won't remove fruit from my diet completely. I would usually eat apples, but I also eat pears, oranges, mandarin oranges, kiwi's, nectarines, all that stuff. But no more than 2-3 pieces of fruit a day. I just like their taste and they do contain good nutrients, so I don't see any problem with incorporating them in a healthy diet. I've lost 90lbs since I started my weight loss journey, so I think I'm doing okay, especially after watching this video.
i dont have time to watch this any time soon. can somebody please tell me what the bottom line is in what he says here? is he pro fruit or anti fruit?
Don't listen to him.
Thank you Dr Dan.
Nailed it! Gained a subscriber!
How really important is fiber? So glad to see a new video from you. So many things are part of aggressive marketing cholesterol fiber and low fat. Is fiber truly as important? Thank you for your response in a advance. You are awesome!
Great question. I'd have a look at this video. I don't think I've got anything to add that this doesn't already cover. ua-cam.com/video/4KrmpK_Lckg/v-deo.html
Fiber feeds the good bacteria in the gut biome, when your gut is out of balance, it can result in leaky gut and inflammatory diseases.
I am a living example of obesity by fruit!
I do not eat fast food (I detest pizza) I do not eat ice-cream nor muffins, nor doughnuts at all! I NEVER drink fizzy beverages, even as a child. I eat fish, chicken, red meat in moderation & I am active. However, I go through tons of fruit which has led me to being obese. I can't just eat 1 fig, I can go through a whole box of 12 or 24 in one sitting. I go through punnets & punnets of grapes, a half a watermelon in one go, 5, 6 guava at a time, pears, apples & plums from my allotment in RIDICULOUS portions!! The result? Obese, weight on joints causing difficulty in walking. My friend has advised me to completely give up every type of sugar, including carbs, for a month. She is going to monitor my progress & see how it goes.
Best of luck---low carb is the way to go! Remember that dietary battles are won or lost at the grocery store; don't buy it and you won't eat it!
you are onto something, there!
This sounds like less the fruit being the issue, and more the portion sizes... 24 figs is like 700 calories. You don't even have to stop eating any of those things, just eat like 1/3rd of them.
@@b1uezer Yes, as far as fructose goes, the dose is the poison. And watch for the hidden HFCS in processed foods.
@@b1uezer yes indeed, that is 100% true. I am killing myself with excess calories, with this awful "all-or-nothing mindset
Thanks Dan.
The absolute most accurate scientific, biological, medical and historical explanation on UA-cam!
Please don't stop eating fruit because of this video
Many fruits have health promoting phytochemicals unique to them that can’t be found in other foods.
Well done
Honestly, I’ve been on a raw fruits diet for 8 days and I lost 10lbs
8 days isn’t enough to assess whether a diet is sustainable and beneficial long term. This initial improvement is probably because you stopped eating a lot of junk food
@@raphaeloliveira4987Diets aren't supposed to be done long-term. Just eat naturally
@@AwakenZenA diet is not a temporary thing. The terms "healthy diet" and "diet for weight management" (dieting) are often related, as the two promote healthy weight management. What you describe as "eating naturally" is in fact also a diet.
That is water weight. Water weight is lost on keto and other diets as well.
Solely fruit diet is not very healthy because it would contain a lot of sugar. We should be consuming less than 20 g of sugar a day, you may be eating 100-300g of sugar a day. Insulin will be spiking and blood sugar levels will be affected on a fruit diet.
Best diet is a mixture of protein, vegetables, fruit, healthy fats, nuts, and seeds. Low carb and intermittent fasting is great. Ensure consuming a healthy fat, protein, and fiber within each meal.
Can you update how your doing and if you stayed on this diet? Did you still track calories and did you feel full on this diet? Thanks
If you take a look at things from an evolutionary biology stance, our animal ancestors could be considered something akin to great apes like bonobo or chimpanzee. These primates have mouths and digestive systems that appear to come from opportunistic omnivore diets that branched from what was originally a frugivore diet. It would make sense for a tropic species to be such as plants would produce plenty of these forms of tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruit year round. One of the reasons we, as humans, have such adept taste buds is due to the fact that plant fruits, seeds/nuts, and roots would have different taste depending on whether or not it was ripe. The reason we can see color so well is also due to these attributes.
Due to chimpanzee behavior, it can be assumed that meat was something 'extra' or something that was occasionally hunted or scavenged for. There are also plenty of great apes that utilize tools to consume small insects en masse such as termites and ants for extra protein.
Due to this more specialized herbivore diet, the digestive system is shorter in length than say a gorilla where gorilla diet consists of more leafy vegetable material inbetween foraged frugivore materials.
Early humans appeared to scavenge for meat more often and ultimately created hunting parties once tool usage grew with brain size.
Due to this, I have always speculated that the best forms of diet for people are still mostly frugivorous, with intermittent meat usage. I think a lot of 'problem diets' come from specific long-term elimination style diets in which someone avoids certain food sources for extended periods of time. I speculate that most processed foods are also bad due to concentration/refinement of processing.
I used to drink fruit smoothie and eat whole fruit always felt bloated. Left fruit and eat a lot of vegetables to get vitamins and minerals we get from fruit. Feel better now. Lost fat around stomach. I started eating more fat and still loosing Fat. I agree with your views
Okay so I have a question. I watched the video through and I definitely understand a lot more. My question pertains to me personally and my diet.
If I were to eat strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, walnuts, and almonds in my cup of plain Greek yogurt before going to the gym every day, would that be a good idea? Assuming I’m eating clean for my other meals as well and maybe having berries as a snack at some point in the day? Like before work?
For context I’m very overweight, I’ve been eating a lot less, cleaning up my diet, not eating out, and going to the gym. I really like normal sausage and eggs breakfast, but i feel like I don’t always feel good after eating that. So I chose the yogurt route. I don’t like the plain yogurt but I’m under the impression that plain is the healthiest. I don’t want the extra sugar. That’s what I’m trying to get away from. But I want to have something more than just an array of nuts in my yogurt lol. So are berries cool? 🫐🍓😊
Blackberries are considered a lower-carbohydrate fruit that is high in fiber and manganese and they are a great source of vitamin C and vitamin K as well. They also contain complex carbohydrates that are slowly metabolized and have less impact on your blood sugar. This means that blackberries have a glycemic index (GI) of only 25. Raspberries are very similar to blackberries in those aspects. Berries in general are better fruit options if you're watching your blood sugar.
Also a bit of sugar before and after hitting the gym isn't a bad thing, because that's when your body requires the most energy. As long as you don't eat sugar all the time and don't overdo it by eating too much sugar, then it's perfectly healthy. Moderation is key after all.
Has anyone ever met an overweight person who only ate fruit? I would like to find some examples. Not dried fruit but fresh.
Makes me sad because fruit is a “healthy food” I actually like 😞
”After adjustment for personal, lifestyle, and dietary risk factors of diabetes, the pooled hazard ratio of type 2 diabetes for every three servings/week of total whole fruit consumption was 0.98” /Fruit consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes: results from three prospective longitudinal cohort studies
Isao Muraki et al. BMJ. 2013.
Glycemic load determines whether fruit will effect weight loss. Strawberries have a much lower GL than bananas. When I eat a banana, I feel it. Strawberries keep me slim. Yes there is moderation. Eating only strawberries all day could hurt the liver, but who does that?
Yeah this is not as black and white as some are making it out to be. There are a few fruits which are ketogenic diet approved such as strawberries, blackberries, avocados, packed with nutrients but not packed with sugar. Eat lots of veggies and I think you cover both sides of the controversy. Problem solved.
I am in agreement there is good reason to place taxes on sugary drinks.
Consuming at moderate level like one apple per day is good.
The geniuses in my country came up with a softdrink tax, where soft drink is defined as a non alcoholic fizzy drink. That means that carbonated water is also being extra taxed. And alcohol free beer. And combucha.
Where are you?
Could you please also do a video on resistant starch. Many thanks.
Hi Karina, I've added it to my list.
@@DrDanMaggs Thank you.
My opinion is that not only sweet drinks with a high sugar content should be taxed (of course, those TOO, but not only those!) but a general law covering all foods should be passed, which without exception imposes a tax on everything that contains sugar has (regardless of the type of sugar it contains), and this tax is higher the more grams of sugar there are in total in that product! So there would be a formula that, for example,
TAX = C*$0.5
where C is the sugar content in grams.
And the same should be done based on starch content, i.e. many foods that contain both sugar and starch would be subject to both taxes...
Otherwise, none of this affects me, I've been following the carnivore diet for years, moreover the RAW version of it, which means I certainly wouldn't pay any taxes because I don't consume either sugar or starch. In general, nothing that is processed "food"... (food-like industrial concoctions, pseudo-foods, food-imitations...)
I also made a magnetic badge for myself, which I wear regularly, with this text:
Mr. Carnivore Caveman
the raw-meat eater
I eat bugs, too
tax, tax, tax, just to protect not to punish. Did not know apple fructose amount. In Spain diabetes child always carried an apple for the morning break!!! 🤦♂️
Thanks for this helpful information but just further confuses the dietary advice, with equally qualified scientists saying eating fruits and some say lots of fruit, are benficial because of the fibre content of fruit and the nutritional benefits? Be good for you guys to be consistent in your advice.
Since taxing has zero effect on the impact of sugar, tobacco or alcohol taxes should never be levied on them. Don’t be foolish enough to think those taxes are actually funneled into the health care system.
Tell that to lifelong fruitarians who thrive on practically nothing but fruit. Fatty liver is mostly caused by excess saturated fat in combination with fructose corn syrup, not whole fruit. So, I would go easy on red meat and eat more fruits.
Then why do fruitarians lose so much weight?
Often their goal is weight loss.
you said watermelon was high fructose / glucose. On the various internet pages it is classed as low (less than 10g per portion). Where are you getting your data from?thx
It's high. 😭
Yes. But also tax the producers higher.
Great, informative video!
I believe sugar should be taxed as it has such negative impact on peoples' health and life expectancy. The revenue raised could be used to educate and inform about the benefits of healthy nutrition and to attempt to alleviate some of the devastating environmental impact pan world "food" companies create in producing their ultra processed "foods".
My you're optimistic. Any extra revenue goes into the waste and/or corruption coffers. How many times are vices taxed, telling us the monies are going to go to fund schools, or some other worthwhile cause. Yet schools are supposedly woefully under funded. The mont just disappears. Gas tax for roads? Most roads in US are like driving in war torn areas.
Subsidize farming of unhealthy food, and then tax its consumption. I see a theme, here.
Really! 😬

All my life ive preached that apples gives you cancer!
Lol, I have no idea where this comes from. I think people should do exactly the opposite of what they hear on the internet. I eat only fatty meat, fish and fruit. 1 pound meat, 1.5 pound fruit (mainly banana and clementines). Never been leaner, stronger and healthier in my life and I’m 45. Both carnivore and fruit are blamed for the worst diseases. I eat only these and oddly I feel and look the best. No food cravings, no hunger, stable energy, perfect digestion, good sleep, good workouts, etc. Not only no bloating, but when I wake up in the morning, I feel vacuum effect in my stomach, and I guess maybe under less than 1% of people even knows how that feels like.
My two economic rules are "Laissez Faire" & "Caveat Emptor" ; so I'm against manipulating behaviours or taxing in this and most other cases. Freedom is freedom. Thanks! Great video in fact! Cheers! 🥩💪😁👍🥓🍳
Why you stop making video bro 😞
Sugar tax or no sugar tax?
What about... A complete BAN?
just prohibit the sale of the products and altered fruits/veggies
Tax the rich not the poor
Taxing people will not keep them from eating healthy. Look how many people smoke.
Very few, compared to the 1950’s and 1960’s. My husband died of lung cancer in the early ‘70s, and the doctors in the hospital cancer ward used to walk around with cigarettes in their mouths. I was appalled 😱!!! Trust me, there is a lot less smoking these days. I am for taxing sugary drinks, why not? They are just as bad as cigarettes, both are addictive and can wreck your health in time.
What about fruitarians who only eat fruit? Are they fat? Of course they didn't.
You can’t protect people from themselves. All you can do is educate them....
This video is not education. It is fake ecucation
Watermelon use for weight loss
No; eat in moderation.
100% Tax all sugar drinks.
8:23
Yes, Tax Sugar!!!!!
So, is what youre saying backed by any credible research? Colud you give us some links to that research? surely I'm not the only one who likes reading things like that.😉
The guy won’t be able to provide any studies cause he is talking out of his arse
I’m against all taxation
Ok
So fruit is bad if you're trying to lose weight and have higher energy levels!
Then why are all fruterians skinny af sorry but you are WRONG
TAX THE SUPER SUGAR DRINKS!!
All you low-carb guys won’t be happy until we’re all living on proteins and fats and a tiny bit of vegetables. It’s so predictable that you’d make a video on the negative effects of fruit, essentially turning people off of it. I would go easy on the grapes and bananas maybe, but you’ll be fine with most fruit because of the fibre, they’ll do nothing to your blood sugar levels.
Fruit drinks should be taxed.
Nothing should be taxed.
We shouldn’t tax sugar as it isn’t all what causes a lot of diseases it’s carbs as a whole.
Plus it’s the poor societies that suffer in the main as has been proven with the food choices they have, that has a knock on effect for the future health and the burden on the NHS.
Your soooo wrong lol
Yes - absolutely tax all added sugar
All processed snack foods should be taxed higher than regular taxable items you normally buy in a grocery store and also highly processed foods should be taxed on a sliding scale depending on how much crap is added to the fake food . I’m a new subscriber thank you for your presentation today . Somewhat sorry for my rant I should edit but nope not going to do that👵🏻🍀🌟🍀👍👍👍👍🖖🌟🍀🌟🖖🖖🖖🖖👍🍀🌟🍀😘💞💕🥰🙋🏼♀️oops I’m back I should add real food meat vegetables fruit etc. is not taxed in my country including much of the processed crappy foods
