I’m scared of the sugar content in fruit

My doctor said I need to be eating bananas for potassium. But I heard bananas have the worst sugar content of any fruit. I told the doctor my concerns about the sugar and she laughed and said “I don’t think you need to be worrying about that”.

If you're not eating fruit almost EVERY day you don't have a healthful diet.

Listen to your doctor. You obviously know nothing..

What do you think of a banana 🍌 split with hot fudge & whipped cream?

by Anonymousreply 3October 25, 2020 8:23 PM

The nutritional value is worth it unless you have diabetes. Plus, eating high fiber fruits will satiate you and prevent you from eating bad food

Unless you’re in ketosis ,15g of sugar won’t be terrible, OP. If you’re pairing it with cakes, pies, potatoes and lots of bread in the same day, then that is pretty bad. But you should probably look at cutting those other carbs before you attack the fruit.

Buy some sugar free fruit.

by Anonymousreply 6October 25, 2020 8:32 PM

Just eat it.

by Anonymousreply 7October 25, 2020 8:33 PM

Most fruit is low on the glycemic index because of their fiber content so you shouldn't worry too much. Just avoid sugar from other sources. There are better plant sources of potassium, though. White beans, potatoes, avocados, and mushrooms all contain more potassium than bananas.

If you eat the bananas when they are still green or still have some green on the skin, the sugar content is much lower than when they are ripe.

My doctor says bananas are not a great way to get potassium into your system. You need a better doctor, OP.

I know a girl who ate a banana once. Turned out she had a sugar allergy. Her head swelled up and then she died. I suggest you seek a second opinion from a doctor who's not a pawn of the FRUIT LOBBY.

by Anonymousreply 13October 25, 2020 9:24 PM

Eat an avocado instead, OP.

And if you want fruit, berries are good. Strawberries are pretty okay on the keto diet.

That's funny because I knew a girl who had a sugar addiction. She began to crave the sugar fix from bananas she'd shove two, three, sometimes four up her ass every day. She's dead now.

Grapes are the highest sugar content fruit actually.

Seems like a lot of grape-based anger in this thread. You all need to calm down and focus on the real enemy - pears. Fuck pears, those nasty shits.

Seems someone got nasty after a reply mentioned a very large Johnson...misdirected anger toward the grape post but he is mad he has a little prick no doubt.

I had bananas on pancakes all smothered in homemade cherry syrup for breakfast. I felt the potassium was a healthy option.

Simple solution, idiot. EAT the fruit. Whole fruit is good for you. Even if you're a diabetic. Fruit juice is poison -all the sugar with none of the fiber.

Have you tried potassium supplements? My doctor prescribed them for me. I've been taking them for the last three years

My elderly mom has to eat a banana over a potassium pill, since the pill might raise her potassium levels too much.

She hates bananas but I make sure she eats them regularly. Doctor's order.

Marty,

What has Mommy told you about using this kind of language on the computer?

Would you like to have your computer time restricted again?

I didn't think so. Now, come in the kitchen and let Mommy make you a snack.

R45, surely there are lower-dosage supplements she could have instead? My dad used to take an orange powdered supplement for potassium, dissolved in water, that was a lower dose than the pills he got later on.

I hate bananas myself and I would refuse to eat them just because a doctor said there was no supplement I could take. That's b.s. and you should look into that instead of forcing her to eat something gross.
