I used to be paranoid about fruit and didn\u2019t eat it. Then I used a little common sense. \u201cWhere are all the fat people eating fruit,\u201d I wondered?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seriously. Show me all of the fat fruit eaters. Where are the bodies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past several months I\u2019ve been eating at least 5 servings of fruit each day. Most days I eat 7-10 servings. Last night, for example, I had a mono meal of 10 bananas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyhow, I wanted to do an experiment. I got my fasting blood glucose measured while on a low-carb, Paleo-style diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fasting blood glucose test measures your blood sugar level on an empty stomach. Lower is better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My fasting blood glucose while on a low-carb diet\u202682.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My fast blood glucose after drinking massive amounts of fruit juice and eating several servings of high-fructose fruit, including \u201cnature\u2019s desserts\u201d like bananas and dates\u202682.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I even \u2013 gasp! \u2013 mix fructose with fat. This banana walnut ice cream is enough to make a Paleo cult follower grasp for his heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They claim that the fructose found in fruit is no different from Gatorade. They don\u2019t really prove this claim. As with many things related to diet, fructose is treated as evil as a matter of dogma. As we explained in this post, \u201cDoes Fructose Make You…<\/p>\n
