In reply to How can fruit be bad for you?, posted by garnet71 on March 29, 2009, at 23:36:32
You guys are great :D
I remember the aspect of the fiber now that you mentioned it; i think i was mixing up the blood sugar affects of fruit juices rather than the whole fruit that has fiber, and leaving the skins on some (though eating pesticides is not good!)
I suppose any risk of a spike in blood sugar would be mitigated by the fiber aspect and could be helped by adding protein? like yogurt or milk?
It seems the benefits outweigh the risks. I've just been reading alot about the glycemic index lately, and of certain fruits and veggies (like corn is high) and wondered if that has adverse affects. Also, reading that excess blood sugar is one of the highest 'aging' factors you can do to your body has given me incentive to read up on this subject a bit more. Hey, I have to make up for the years I didn't take care of myself and at times, seemingly abused my body. Regrets, regrets...
10der, that was cute what you said about the blender. I don't even have a dishwasher, so I it doesn't make much of a difference to me. If you rinse the blender in hot water right after mixing, it cleans easier. it is a pain to wash it every day though, i hate seeing it unwashed on the counter if I need to make a smoothie. lol
BTW-Military acronyms ok with me.
