I agree. I always used to have 'healthy' breakfast cereals. Whole wheat for example. No sugary stuff. Sliced banana sometimes. Semi skimmed milk. And yet here I am!I used to eat a lot of fruit - my colleagues used to laugh at me because I had a dish on my desk which I would fill on a Monday morning with a variety of fruit such as apples, pears, oranges, bananas, grapes, kiwis and plums and by Friday it was gone - although I would sometimes have help! I used to have a nice healthy breakfast - bran flakes with sliced banana and, if we went out for a meal, I had the 'healthy' dessert ie fruit salad with a small amount of fresh cream and I still got T2! Although I have the occasional apple with some cheese I tend to stick to berries now which I know do not spike me.
Howeve the nutritional benefits of fruit on overall health are well known and validated by this research. The argument that this should be disregarded for the sake of avoiding resultant spikes in BG levels may be considered over simplistic and risky. Is there an argument that the cost/benefit of avoiding fruits in a balanced diet is too costly overall. The resultant spikes need to be managed by either medication or insulin. Low BG numbers w/o a nutritional diet w/o fruit may present greater health risks than the alternative; borne out by this research.
But fruit in general is a problem. Choosing particular fruits, like currants and berries, can give benefits without the generalised 'eating fruit is good'. Quite early on in my journey having been told fruit was good for me, I had half a fairly green banana and a small cox's apple (they are fairly sharp rather than sweet). My meter told me not to do it again! Generalising that its good to eat fruit is in my own experience, quite bad. On the other hand I do eat fruit almost every day. Just not what the establishment tells me I should.Howeve the nutritional benefits of fruit on overall health are well known and validated by this research.

Very true, as well as the berries I mentioned!Peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, green beans, zucchini, are all low carb fruits. No need to eat the sweet ones to get all the nutrients to stay healthy.

I come from a family that suffers from allergies and intolerances - one of my aunts, a cousin and my elder brother are coeliac and my sister, nephews and neices are allergic to fish, nuts, eggs and milk to name but a few therefore, the way I look at it is that, if it causes a reaction avoid if possible ie some foods spike my BS so I avoid them. My boss does not eat any fruit at all and she's still healthy.Howeve the nutritional benefits of fruit on overall health are well known and validated by this research.
