Tag: Bananas and sugar

A medium ripe banana contains about 14 grams of naturally occurring sugar, a fact that raises a common question for many dieters: Can I eat bananas during a no sugar diet? The answer depends heavily on your specific diet's rules and your approach to managing natural fruit sugars.

According to the CDC, fewer than 1 in 10 Americans eat enough fruit and vegetables daily. While bananas are a convenient and nutritious snack, many wonder: Is there any downside to eating bananas, especially if consumed in large quantities? For some, excessive intake can lead to health issues.
