Debunking the Myth That Fruit Makes You Fat

The first topic we dove into was just for fun. We spent two weeks together in Costa Rica, and the good old fruit makes you fat topic came up, and Luke was pissed. I wanted to get him going on this topic with a microphone in front of his face. That's a big pet peeve of mine because I still remember in the late 90s, that was a big bodybuilder thing. You couldn't eat fruit because fruit made you fat. And it was just ridiculous. And there were articles, like TMAG came out with one telling you not to eat fruit. I'm looking at it thinking this doesn't make any sense. I don't know anyone who's ever overeaten apples. It just doesn't happen. And there's a lot of things you're going to get out of fruit that you just simply can't get anywhere else. And the problem is a lot of meatheads, they read an abstract and they see fructose in the title. and they see fructose-causing fatty liver and all this other stuff, and they don't actually pull the article and read the whole research paper. When you read it, you're like, wow, this isn't really applicable to fruit. They're talking about high fructose corn syrup, and they're giving doses of it that would be far more than most humans would ever take, so using a lot of rat studies and things like that.
