I feel like we're in danger of branding fruit as the next 'evil-food-that-must-be-avoided'!
I see and hear so many comments (not just on here) on the lines of:
'fruit should be an occasional treat'
'sugar is sugar'
'a zero sugar diet is best'
'your body can't tell the difference between an apple and haribo.'
'limit fruit and eat as much veg as you can'
'low carbing is the best kind of diet to follow and fruits are really high in carbs'
etc.
Is fruit the new bread? (another low fat, previously thought of as healthy food that has been a British staple for centuries).
I'm already scared of most foods, I feel like I don't have the time or the energy to obsess over fruit as well (apart from bananas and avocados).
I know it has very little protein and it doesn't keep you full for long but it's healthy ... right? There's not need to limit it ... is there?
