Probably having more than 50g sugar per day etc? While the decade-long saturated-acid-bashing is controversial, there are things that are proven to help longevity, like eating fatty fish regularly or not eating more than you spend.
- alextgordon 11y ago50g sugar is like 2.5 apples.
- IndianAstronaut 11y agoFruits have been cultivated and bred towards greater sweetness. They are much sweeter than their natural ancestor.
- saiya-jin 11y agoindeed, not something I like. now apple doesn't feel healthy at all, more like a giant candy (i know it's still probably healthier to eat it rather than not, but I really wish there would be types which would be less sweet)
- domas 11y agoI think "healthy food" is a bit misnomer: only people can be healthy or unhealthy, while food can be nutritious or not. While health of an apple is quite a different thing (apple tree disease?)
- manmal 11y agoJust saw that the WHO reduced the recommended amount to 25g: http://www.who.int/nutrition/publications/guidelines/sugars_intake/en/ http://www.who.int/nutrition/publications/guidelines/sugars_... This is for "free sugars" though, so whole apples should not count if I got it right. Fruit juice "frees" the sugar though, so sugar in apple juice should count.
- joeyspn 11y agoI was going to post this... it's about time until the WHO classifies added sugars in the same carcinogenic category as cigarettes... what is happening in the food industry is simply bizarre. Artificial sweeteners aren't the solution either...
