recently had another question someone

want to know if sugar so bad dr. Berg

why is fruit so healthy okay well first

of all I never said the fruit was so

healthy okay and it’s not part of a

healthy Kido plan that being said

there’s some several things I want to

tell you about the fruit that we consume

now our hybrids which means that over

the years they created these fruits to

be sweeter and sweeter and sweeter Honey

Crisp apple for example has 19 grams of

sugar I mean take a look at a crabapple

it doesn’t have 19 grams of sugar so

we’re consuming more sugary fruits okay

that’s one thing number two

fruits should be seasonal okay if you’re

consuming all year-round that’s not

really natural some people also don’t

differentiate between whole fruit and

fruit juice they say they’re the same

but they’re not the juice is not not

only without the fiber but without the

nutrients because they pasteurize it

they heat it and that kills a lot of the

enzymes allow the heat sensitive

vitamins so now we have basically pure

sugar okay versus this which has

vitamins and minerals phytonutrients and

fiber so it is true that these fruits

have these nutrients okay which are

protective against DNA damage against

the complications of diseases like

diabetes for example however fruit has a

larger amount of a certain sugar called

fructose okay fructose does not go to

all the cells in the body like glucose

does it only goes to the liver a hundred

percent of it goes to the liver what

does that mean it means that it’s not

going to spike your blood sugar as much

okay and if you consume fruit and check

your blood sugars and you go wow it

didn’t affect my blood Sugar’s it must

be good what you’re missing is that all

that fructose is going to liver and the

liver has to deal with it if you do too

much it could lead to insulin resistance

which will raise insulin so if the liver

has to deal with too much fructose it

has to put it somewhere so it converts

it to fat and cholesterol and

triglycerides so my advice is be

the percent of the population that has a

problem with blood sugars and

pre-diabetes I recommend that you stick

with a small amount of berries and not

do fruit I mean if you think about what

is diabetes okay

diabetes is high blood sugar so why

would we want to add fruit to that

that’s going to add more sugar to a

condition that is already too high in

sugar anyway thanks for watching and I
