How quickly or slowly the body metabolisesdifferent sugars may have aneffect on your energy levels (in terms ofhow quickly the peaks and troughs willfollow one another) but makes no differenceto the fact that the sugar fermentsand fuels these harmful microforms inexactly the same way.So please see fruit as something you haveas a daily (or less) treat, a healthier-thanmostsnack rather than a staple you wouldhave all day long.And regarding fruit JUICE…Just don’t juice fruit. Even a little bit.First and foremost, it is DEFINITELY not agood idea to include lots of fruits in yourjuice (such as when people make a ‘green’drink that has 1/2 a pineapple, 2 bananas,and apple and one stick of kale - nice try).This amount of concentrated fructose isvery damaging to your health, spikes yourinsulin levels, stresses the pancreas, inducesinflammation and an overstimulatedinflammatory response…this then leadsto weight gain, digestive issues and moreinflammation…need I go on?The second problem is when you consumefructose without fibre, the brain does notregister that calories have been consumedand you will still remain hungry.So, no fruit juice!Is any fruit OK?Yes! There are a handful of low-sugar fruitsthat are great for you!Tomato, avocado, lemon, lime and grapefruitare all alkalising and full of goodness.So stick to the following rules:1) fruit should be eaten in moderation (1piece per day)2) it should be in-season3) it should not be juiced4) lemons, limes, avocado, tomato arealkaline-forming and can be eaten asmuch as you like5) aim for lower sugar fruits such as berriesand melons6) avoid high sugar fruits such as pineappleand banana7) never have dried fruits, they are concentratedsugar hits!10QUESTION 3: Why are the lists of alkaline/acidfoods different?I know it is quite confusing to see suchdifferences in the charts. This amount ofconflicting information is the main reasonI set up energiseforlife.com and I believeour chart (based on the research of theAlkaline Diet pioneer, Robert Young) is themost accurate.The reason that other charts show suchdisparity is because they base their classificationson the readings for the PotentialRenal Acid Load research (PRAL). This isnot an accurate source for this purpose.The reason for this is, to test for PRAL theybasically burn the food at an extreme temperatureand then take a read of the ‘ash’that is left behind and what it’s pH is.the top ten alkaline diet questions
