    Fresh, unprocessed, whole fruits are full of phytonutrients, known & unknown, that, among other things, are powerfull antioxidants. Aging is, ultimately, very closely related to cellular oxidation. Judicious fruit intake has been demonstrated to reduce cardiovascular risk, among other things.

    Great content. But soda made in the US does not have sugar. It has high fructose corn syrup and cannot be metabolized like cane sugar. It’s worse!!!

    It should be recoognised that ordinary table sugar is 50% fructose. That means honey too. HFCS is not much different. "HFCS 42" and "HFCS 55" refer to dry weight fructose compositions of 42% and 55% fructos, respectively, the rest being glucose. So not that different really.

    Trans fat is NOT removed from our diet. If you continue to eat processed food, the rules allow up to 1 gramme for each "serving", this means that a small packet of crisps/chips can have a high proportion of transfats. And the food companies are good are adjusting the "serving size" to make sure they can keep the trans fat IN.

  • @dr.med.vienna

    This is because long, insoluble fibers are shredded into small filaments and fragments, resulting in the loss of the so-called "fishnet" function.

    ​@@griswold985 Yes, indeed. However, depending on the target, a blender/food processor or the like will rotate the blades anywhere from 1,500 to 30,000 times per minute. How fast can you chew? :)) There is a big difference between "chewing" and "pureing/blending/liquefying etc". Also, our teeth are not sharp objects like blades. Chewing does not really destroy consistency. The purpose of chewing is to mix the food with the digestive enzymes in the saliva, especially for the carbohydrates, as well as to soften and lubricate the food to make it easier to swallow.

    Honey is very healthy as long as it's raw, not processed. If you find it with the comb in it, it's all natural. Here in Texas the bee farmers sell it on the side of the road. Farmer markets carry it also.

    If i eat oranges, blueberries, blackberries and raspeberries t doesnt do nothing but other yes. The fruit in my garden have a lot of water content and its not sweet like comercial fruits. Genetic manipulation of natural foods is a serious question on health. Food industry must be regulate for the wellbeing of all people. Other thing is that poor people are more exposure to this and its a shame for our human rights. People need to stand together to presure this regulation.

    Complete and utter nonsense. Humans ate tons of fruit and roots when they were still in Africa, and when they were in Europe a bit less, but still plenty; European crabapples rowan berries, sloes, sea buckthorn, black nightshade, wooly nightshade, common dogwood, sweet cherries, blue honeysuckle, tons of rubus species such as blackberries, raspberries, crowberries, bearberries, hawthorns, grapes, elderberries, red currant, black currant, rosehips, yew berries, guelder rose, honey, cattail roots, burdock root, vairous Apiaceae roots (carrot family), beech nuts, chestnuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, and many more are all WILD edible non-meat foods that our European ancestors lived in between. Dental plaque analysis of European hunter gatherers shows leftovers of these foods, so please don’t spread your “humans are carnivores”-lies any further.

    I have to agree with you. I eat a great deal of fruits and vegetables whole organic mostly. I also consume over 100 oz of fruits and vegetable juices and smoothies daily. My blood pressure problems are gone. My stress and anxiety issues are gone. I've lost over 45 lbs since February, and I feel great. My blood work is excellent, too. There's nothing wrong with drinking fruits and vegetables.
