I hope they do go extinct. They go bad really fast, and have become too sweet, harming dental health. They're good only in their soon-to-ripe green state, for only a day or two.
In fact I hope that all fruits that have been made oversweet go extinct, to be replaced by their heirloom varieties going back a couple of centuries. As it is, I avoid the oversweet fruits that require me to brush my teeth after eating them.
- jbaber 2y agoI get what you're saying, but wishing modern sweet apples, grapes etc. to go away because of tooth decay is a bit over the top. Can we keep Granny Smith apples? They're less than 200 years old. But they're not sweet :)
- OutOfHere 2y agoApples actually do not cause dental issues, so they're completely fine by me. I believe this is due to the specific combination of sugars that apples have. Life without apples would not be a happy life. Modern grapes do however cause dental issues. Try papayas. They are not too sweet, and have beta-cryptoxantin.
