Fruit - bad news or good chews?

The time is ripe! ‘Tis the season to enjoy fruit fresh from the vine. But have you heard any information lately that’s swayed you away from eating your favorite, sweet pick? They’re dirty lies, I tell you. I like to keep myself up to date with all the latest health information. One book I’ve read recently is The PH Miracle, which claims that an alkaline diet is the cure for most every disease. This may be true. What’s certain is that the average American diet consists of too many acidic foods - foods high in animal fat, refined sugars and processed foods. This makes sense to me. But I am forced to question the rationale that fruit, in it’s natural state, is acidic because of it’s high sugar content, thus bad for you. For a new perspective that may dispel your fruit worries check out Frederic Patenuade’s fruit report. He doesn’t quote specific scientific facts but some of his theories may make sense to you. Call me the anti-Christ, but I have trouble believing that these scrumptious gifts from nature are the devil’s work. How about you?
