BAD NEWS ABOUT FRUIT
"Suspicion is growing among scientists that sugar,
even fruit sugar is harmful to health and fitness.
Overweight adults who consume large amounts of fruit
are eating an acidic sugar called fructose which will
make you sick, tired and fat. Fruit sugar or fructose
is a toxic acid that comes from the ripening or
fermentation of fruit. Much like a banana that
gets sweeter and sweeter as it ripens or ferments.
The fruit sugar or fructose is the metabolite or
waste product from this process. Over many years
of research in the cause of under-weight or over-
weight I have found that people experience
alarming increases in body fat and insulin sensitivity
when they eat high sugar fruits like bananas, apples,
oranges, pears, watermelon, pineapple, mango, just to
name a few," states Dr. Robert O. Young, of the
pH Miracle Living Research Center.
Fructose is not only found in fruit but is also found in
fruit juice and preserves which are also highly acidic.
But much of it sneaks into our diets though high-fructose
corn syrup (HFCS) in soft drinks -- which gets broken
down into 55 per cent fructose and 45 per cent glucose
in the body - or via sucrose (ordinary sugar), which is
broken down into the same two toxic acidic sugars.
Fears that fructose is fuelling the obesity epidemic
and triggering insulin resistance and diabetes has
been circulating for years (New Scientist, 1
September 2001, p 26), but there have been few
direct investigations in humans, except for the
blood work of Dr. Robert O. Young, at the pH Miracle
Living Research Center.
Peter Havel at the University of California, Davis,
persuaded 33 overweight and obese adults to go on a
diet that was 30 per cent fat, 55 per cent complex
carbohydrates and 15 per cent protein for two weeks.
For a further 10 weeks, they switched to a diet in
which 25 per cent of their energy came from either
fructose or glucose.
In those given fructose there was an increase in the
amount of intra-abdominal fat, which wraps around
internal organs, causes a pot belly and has been
linked to an increased risk of diabetes and
cardiovascular dis-ease. This did not happen with
the first group.
Those who consumed fructose also had raised levels
of fatty triglycerides, which are deposited as
intra-abdominal fat, and cholesterol. Their insulin
sensitivity also fell by 20 per cent. Havel presented
the results at a meeting of the Endocrine Society
in San Francisco last week.
Because Havel's test looked only at pure fructose,
not HFCS or sucrose, it is not yet clear whether
these substances are to blame for obesity and diabetes.
"The question is, what is the amount of HFCS or normal
sugar you need to consume to get these effects?" says
Havel, who is planning a long-term study to find out.
But he says it's not too soon for people with metabolic
syndrome or acid syndrome - the blend of conditions
including belly fat and insulin resistance that raise
the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular dis-ease -
to avoid drinking too many fructose-containing
beverages.
"It adds to what we have known for a long time," says
Francine Kaufman at the Keck School of Medicine in
Los Angeles. "It's probably not a good idea to consume
too much sugar."
According to Dr. Young, "the perceived need for sugar
is in reality the need for mineral salts. The
body runs on electrical energy not calories from
sugar. Salt provides the conduit for the transport
of electrical energy through the body to each individual
cell. That is why our blood is salted with sodium not
sugar."
"It is the acid sugar that makes us fat. Fat is one
of the most important buffers of acidic waste
products like sugar. If you want to gain weight or
lose weight you have to stop eating sugar in any
form. All sugars are acidic and compromise the
delicate pH balance of the body. The body will
only retain weight to buffer excess acids that are
not properly being eliminated through urination,
perspiration, respiration or defecation. A person
is not over-weight they are over-acid and fruit,
fruit juices, exotic fruit drinks, preserves and
soda with fructose are all major acidic contributors,"
states Dr. Young.

please learn about the diff. forms of sugar. fructose is not the kindest. Moderation is important. Berries rule.
sorry no pic. I can't figure it out, how to get it from my computer to the profile

More conflicting information, I know, just putting this out for discussion. I do know that Kris Carr, author or crazy sexy cancer , she was on oprah, has a documentary called the same. She has stage 4 liver and lung cancer that was not treatable. She has been using Dr Youngs protocol for something like 5 years and the cancer is not spreading, not metastizing, and she is doing great. Do a search on her if you want more info. I like to see stuff like that that backs up information. But i know there are others that have treated disease with fruit, so who knows, everyone is different i guess. I know since i have been drinking green smoothies with tons of fruit, i have gain weight in my abdoman, so maybe i am one of those people that shouldnt eat fruit.

Christine, I saw this movie on HBO with Kris Carr a couple of years ago. It was fantastic! I didn't know she was on Dr. Young's protocol. It sounds like different things work for different people, and although I'm a big fruit advocate (God made it!), it stands to reason that when one's body is sick, different rules might apply. A good healthy discussion topic for sure!

Yes, she read - Sick and Tired by Doctor Young and that is when she started the juicing etc. She has part of her documentary on his website. Thats it, when the body is sick ( not from fruit ) but from the obvious reasons, polution, alcohol, drugs etc it may take drastic measures to get it well and elimating fruit for a while may be one of them for some people that is. I know there have been others that have treated disease "with" fruit. So you know, it is a interesting topic. Thanks Rachael for you input.

Christine, that is good to know! Thanks. I'll have to keep that in mind. I know many people suffering from all types of cancers, etc. Have you ever posted "Christine's Protocol" by the way, telling people how you beet yours? Lots of people, including myself, really value your opinion. Just a thought. Thanks for the great topic!

I wish i knew which of the 20 things i was doing was the one that worked but it was probably a combination of them all. ONe thing that i did do and i have been seeing more and more of it was dring Essiac tea. There is a write up about it in the Health science institue newsletter this month. Have you heard of it. Look at www.HSIBaltimore.com This institute is at the top of their game when it comes to new alternative treatment. Check out the website, if you cant fint the article on their let me know and i will mail you a copy of this newsletter. But you can sign up for free health alerts.... Let me know. Or googel Rene Cassie. But in this artilcle is says to beware of Essiac on store shelves. So if you want to get some look for the original formula that was sold to Essiac Canada International, they sell it at the vitamin shoppe.... Good stuff. I got mine from two ladies that made it hear locally, they made it fresh and exactly the way it was originally made.

Thanks for the info Christine! I went onto that website and I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't find the article. I looked up her name too.....am I losing my "techie" touch? Hope not! If by chance you have the article, I'd be grateful.....I'm collecting some info on cancer, etc. which will be of much help. I wish I had known about so many different things like this with my grandfather before he passed. Then again, he probably wouldn't have tried anything besides thawing out another knockwurst (I call them the WORSTS) and throwing it on a skillet with butter and oil and slathered in velveeta. Ah, I miss that smell! LOL. Seriously though, I don't want it to be too much trouble. Only if you have it, and when you can. Thanks chick!

Christine--do you think this could go back to eating for your blood type?? I find it hard to believe that fruit is bad but what is good for one is not always good for another.

I think is has everything to do with insulin resistance, diabetes, or the begining of diabetes, not from fruit but from years of Bad eating of process sugars. I think the body changes and maybe then is when the fruit sugar causes problems. Just what i am gettng from my readings. I dont think fruit causes any of these problems but can become a problem when insulin is not being used correctly in the body.

Fruit is high in fructose and feeds the bad yeast in the boday. aaaah, CANDIDA!!
Recal , everything in moderation. But lots, like anti-biotics throwns the PH balence off. I find conflicting info. everywhere regarding fixing my body, mind and spirit.
Best fruit is berries, grown chemical free, local and in season

I think Doc Young pretty much stands alone in this belief! But, there is an important issue that should be addressed here --- food-combining with fruit. (Remember, the Doc is against fermented foods):
Angie Reginato, RHN, Natural Nutritionist and Health Consultant states,
" Fruit has a different digestive process. It is NOT digested in the stomach, but in the intestinal tract. If there is food in the stomach already, the fruit will sit on top and cause fermentation and putrefaction of proteins (fruit contains sugar and our body is warm). This compromises the digestive process and facilitates toxins which can be absorbed through the intestinal walls along with nutrients. The body will then have to deal with these toxins over-exerting the liver and lymphatic system. Over time, if these toxins accumulate, it can lead to diseases such as arthritis, allergies, and auto-immune (auto-intoxication) as well as affect the immune system. Eating fruit as a snack is the best way to consume it. Try eating fruit mid-morning or mid-afternoon, two hours after your last meal and a minimum of half an hour before you eat again. Also, avoid eating jam on toast if you are eating protein, as the digestive processes of protein and fruit, in particular, produce a large amount of toxins.”
Christine, are you eating your smoothies alone as a meal or adding them as a snack in between meals ...... (since you feel you are gaining weight from eating them)?
