There's a really simple thing to remember about fruit.
What do many mammals do for winter in colder regions? They hibernate.
What do they need to supply them with energy while they hibernate? Fat.
What foodstuff magically comes into abundance in autumn, when animals need to eat and store fat ready for hibernation? Fruit.
Fruit is obviously good for you in that it is rich in vitamins, antioxidants etc. But a lot of fruit might not be the best option - particularly from things like juices and smoothies. The biggest lie the health industry has perpetuated in the last 20 years is that smoothies are good for you, when they are probably as bad as eating at McDonald's. The issue is particularly compound for those with impaired carbohyrdate metabolism - ie, people like us.
