    Hi Rhonda Thank you for your channel. For many people, it's confusing what and when to eat. There is so much different information on KZread. Here is some forgotten information about bananas: If a banana shows no browning, it means that the polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzyme has not been significantly activated, and therefore, the polyphenols remain largely intact. This lack of browning suggests that the beneficial properties of polyphenols, such as their antioxidant activity, are preserved. Proper handling and storage of bananas to minimize bruising and exposure to air can help maintain their polyphenol content and associated health benefits. The relationship between polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, browning, and the preservation of polyphenols in bananas has been explored in various studies. Here are a few key studies and sources that provide relevant information: 1. "Polyphenol oxidase and browning in banana: a review" - This review article discusses the role of PPO in the browning process of bananas and its impact on polyphenol content. 2. "Enzymatic browning in fruits: The polyphenol oxidase activity in banana" - This study specifically examines PPO activity in bananas and how it contributes to the oxidation of polyphenols. 3. "Effect of polyphenol oxidase on the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables" - This research looks into the broader impact of PPO on the nutritional value of various fruits and vegetables, including bananas, and how browning affects polyphenol levels. 4. "Inhibition of Polyphenol Oxidase Activity in Banana (Musa spp.) by Natural Antioxidants" - This study explores methods to inhibit PPO activity in bananas to prevent browning and preserve polyphenol content. These studies collectively support the understanding that the activation of PPO leads to the oxidation of polyphenols, reducing their availability and potential health benefits. Conversely, minimal browning indicates less enzymatic activity, preserving the beneficial polyphenols. For detailed information, you can refer to these studies through academic databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, or Google Scholar. If someone has problems with oxalates then they can try to avoid spinach. It's very high in oxalates. Thank you

    It might actually improve it. If unsure, do both/alternate. If my spinach clamshell or kale is about to go bad, I cook some. Eat some of it cooked on its own, but freeze some of the cooked for later smoothies. There are probably some benefits to both raw and cooked. But kale is very tough so there are probably benefits to cooking as it will release nutrients we'd otherwise have difficulty accessing.

I adopted this after I found out broccoli, although a different plant, should be cooked at least 1 in boiling water to make the nutrients more bioavailable, so I thought… Why not with kale? It also makes a smoothie and even brighter, gorgeous green color. Wish I could test the blanched vs unblanched kale smoothies to see which one has more nutrients absorbed!

    Yes they do, though some apple varieties that are bred to brown less quickly presumably have less. It makes no sense to exclude bananas because of PPO, yet include avocados. As for your other question, I don't think the answer to that is known at this point. The researchers found that more of the polyphenols made it into the blood when bananas and apples were eaten together (vs blending them together in a smoothie first), but there was still a reduction compared to eating the blueberries alone, presumably due to the PPO from the banana doing it's work in the stomach. I would think avoiding PPO foods for around 30 mins pre/post should be enough to avoid most if not all of the effect.

    I have a few comments: 1. When do you consume bananas? 2. If you don't like kale, what is a reasonable substitute? 3. I purchased moringa several months ago when I read that studies showed it reduced prostate size and contributed to its overall health. However, my most recent lab work 4 months ago turned up elevated levels of potassium in my blood, which has never happened before. Moringa is fairly high in potassium. I will state that I have hemochromatosis and was treating it with low dose baby aspirin at the same time. I go for labs in three weeks with my hematologist to check my ferritin levels and will see what my potassium levels look like with both of those out of my diet. 4. Moringa did nothing to lower my glucose levels.

    I am not second guessing Rhonda, but the whole thing about chard and Polyphenol Oxidase requires more explanation. I am trying to understand because I love the taste of chard in my smoothie with blueberries or blackberries. The only issue I can find with PPO is it results in enzymatic browning and that seems to just be physical appearance and not an immediate reaction. Additionally these items don’t sit out together but go straight into the blender and then into my belly. If Rhonda or someone can explain how the polyphenols are being degraded, I would love to hear that information. I want chard in my smoothie, but not if it is wasting the value of the polyphenols in the berries.

    What do you think happens to collagen when we eat it? Its sucked up and placed where it needs to be? No, it is broken down, like any protein, into amino acids, so they can be absorbed. Proteins are too large to be absorbed. It doesn’t matter what kind of protein you eat….collagen or any other, your body doesn’t care, its broken down into the same amino acids and absorbed. Be careful with what some of these people say on youtube. Especially the ones promoting products. Principles of digestion are VERY simple. Metabolism is complicated, but digestion is not. VERY little of our food makes it into the bloodstream unchanged. Almost entirely glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids.

    She is correct that polyphenol levels are reduced with a banana mixed into the smoothie. The same is also true of avocados. The process occurs when chemicals inside the fruit come into contact with oxygen in the air. This produces melanin, the same dark brown pigment that colors human hair, skin, and eyes. The enzyme responsible for the browning is called polyphenol oxidase (or PPO)oxidase (or PPO).

    Please comment on the harm benefit ratio of leafy greens (kale, spinach, etc) considering well known reports that these commercially available foods are highly contaminated with pesticides. And if they are labeled organic it means they were grown with some other chemicals , just not pesticides. Also so-called organic industry mostly not regulated at all and is definitely not pure= without addition of chemicals Thank you

It's also just ridiculous that people are barely eating fruit at all on average, and health gurus are so out of touch with reality that they will debate stupid stuff like what is the effect of bananas in a smoothie. Like bro, people are not eating fruits and vegetables at all unless it's a potato who cares about bananas effects on antioxidants lol.

    Skimming through the comments people are completely parroting everything they saw some influencer say or tik tok trend. Im a nutrition scientist and most of the things these people talk about won't even affect 2% of your performance. People unfortunately can't interpret the studies themselves nor do they know how to evaluate if a study is of good quality of not (randomized control groups, sample size, method of evaluation etc). You don't eat blueberries to improve your cognitive functions you eat them for the vitamin C, vitamin K and antioxidants like most fruits and most of all you should eat them because they taste good. If you have a healthy balanced diet you don't need to go out of your way to do any of this stuff. Doing cardio and VO2 max training and a bit of weight training overall has a magnitude more health benefits than eating chia seeds and kale (or w/e new "superfood" is trending every week) thinking you will miraculously add 10 years to your lifespan or dramatically improve your health. Same thing for cutting out alcohol and added sugars that would benefit you 99% more than making this smoothie assuming you have a clean diet and just eat some greens and fruits overall. And even if your diet is bad you can keep it simple eat some greens/ leafy vegetables and good quality proteins with every meal and some fruit and don't overdo it on portions and you're doing better than 90% of people.

    so the negative part of banana is that it interferes with the benefits of the blueberries? so what if we just skip the blueberries?.. I thought there would be a more dramatic and negative impact from blending the banana (removal of fibers? or whatever) then it just interfering with another ingredient.. I guess bananas it is then!
