@drcldrcl In regards to fruits being acidic, citrus (like lemons, oranges, etc) go from acidic to alkaline during the digestive process. Getting the body out of an acidic state and into a slightly alkaline state is at the core of cellular regeneration. Fruits, especially in their raw state, have powerful healing properties for all the reasons I've mentioned. If you're against fruit for weight loss we can simply agree to disagree.

@drcldrcl What I referenced to you was the measurement of electromagnetic energy, which is rated in units called angstroms. Basically, the higher the quantity of angstroms a food gives off, the higher the energy of the food. When you eat fresh fruits, without cooking or processing them, the high electromagnetic energy of the food is transferred to your body and its cells. In regards to the body being alkaline, yes, the normal pH level for optimal health is slightly alkaline (7.3-7.5).

@shapecon what on earth are you talking about ? an Angstrom is a measure of distance. Basically you are saying fruits are special. One fruit is very different to another. You cant compare apples and oranges.

Alkaline state? How can the "body" be alkaline? There are a million compounds in the body. Most of them are "acids". Amino Acids, Fatty Acids etc. And how will fruits help - i believe most of them are acidic. Didnt you ever test the ph of freshly squeezed orange juice at school?

@drcldrcl Fresh raw fruits have the highest electrical energy of all the foods (8,000-10,000 angstroms). Cellular health as you know is gained or lost by the ability to offset oxidation and free radical damage. Beyond the macro and micro-nutrients contained in fruit the synergistic properties of phtyonutrients make it nature's healing food. Given the chance in an alkaline state the body can regenerate cells and heal weakened glands and tissue. Once again this is what I've found.

@shapecon what is it about fruit that has this wonderful healing effects at the cellular level?

[shapecon]

@drcldrcl We will have to agree to disagree on this subject but thank you for commenting. I do not advocate insulin resistant or diabetic individuals removing fruit from their diet. Starches yes, fruit no. Healing at the cellular level should be the first order of business since these individuals will likely have adrenal issues. I follow Dr. Robert Morse's principals for cellular regeneration and have seen very positive results in those who take a natural approach to healing the body.

@shapecon fruits themselves are not bad but if you are overweight an insulin resistant they can be problematic if you are trying to lose weight.

[drcldrcl]

@shapecon sorry but still wrong. whether or not fructose can enter a cell is irrelevant. As is the case for alcohol only hepatic cells have the enzymes required to process fructose.

[shapecon]

@drcldrcl - To see how fructose can enter a cell membrane without being converted to glucose research facilitated diffusion. Granted active transport is typically used but it can happen. The big picture was that excess starches and processed sugars are the culprit and NOT fruits. Fruit gets a bad rap in the weight loss industry and that's wrong. People need to start healing their bodies instead of looking for metabolic quick-fixes.

@Xandros999 fat doesnt cause an insulin release. protein does somewhat - but eating protein with carbohydrate seems to give a big spike.
