Tag: Unhealthy fruits

According to the Environmental Working Group's (EWG) annual 'Dirty Dozen' report, over 90% of strawberries, apples, and cherries tested contained residues from two or more pesticides. This raises questions about whether all fruits are equally healthy, as conventionally grown varieties can carry more risks than their organic counterparts.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only about 1 in 10 American adults meet the daily recommendations for fruit intake. This statistic underscores a misconception that some fruits may be bad for you, with many wondering, "are there any unhealthy fruits in the world?" The short answer, according to nutritionists, is a resounding no—at least when we're talking about whole, fresh fruit.

Contrary to popular belief that the sugar in fruit is always bad, eating fresh fruit is widely recommended by health organizations. But many still wonder: are high GI fruits unhealthy?
