                                While a popular myth suggests that eating fruit in the morning on an empty stomach is harmful, a 2019 study published in *Medical News Today* found that such claims are not backed by scientific evidence. Most people can safely and healthily eat fruit anytime, including as part of their first meal, so the question of "Why can't I eat fruit in the morning?" is based on misinformation.
