Hello Health Champions. What if you ate only fruit for 30 days? Nothing but fruit.

It could be the healthiest fruit straight off the tree. It could be fruit from the store or from a can or from a juice bottle and while there are some differences, it's not as much difference as people like to think. We've heard the phrase fruits and vegetables eat more fruits and vegetables at least five a day of fruits and vegetables.

We've heard that so much that we think they go together that it doesn't matter if it's fruits or vegetables and as long as we eat more of it we will get healthier. But I'd like to remind us of this mark twain quote what gets us in trouble is not what we don't know it's what we know for sure that just ain't so. And every time in a video that I even mention fruit I have people comment and said you made good sense until you talked about fruit because it's like this sacred cow it's like this holy grail that we're not allowed to criticize or question in any way.

So let's compare fruits and vegetables and see how they are like and how they're different so first of all they're both very very low in fat. They're virtually fat free. Insignificant.

They're also very low in protein even though there's some protein in there they're both still very low oftentimes we talk about fiber and there is a little bit more there's a few percent fiber in both fruits and vegetables. So far they're looking very much the same but when we get to sugar and we compare fruits to vegetables, we find that fruit has about five times more. About 10 percent sugar on average whereas vegetables have about two percent.

And I know that there's a biological classification and I don't really care about that in this video we're talking about fruit being plants that taste sweet that people usually refer to as fruit and vegetables as what people refer to as vegetables because they don't taste sweet. I know that there's a biological overlap but we're not talking about that in this video.
