Recently, I've been looking into how different sugars affect the body. In the course of this, I realize that I have been consistently eating fruit almost every day for some time now. Yet in ancient times, fruits would only be available during specific seasons. And so I wonder if continual fruit consumption has any detrimental effects.
All this might be splitting hairs to some degree. For the average person switching from junk carbs to fruit carbs would be highly beneficial. But I do wonder if it's best to consume fruit intermittently, in accordance with the seasons.
The fructose in fruit is digested differently than the glucose that comes from other carbs. Perhaps it may be of use to give this metabolic pathway a rest every now and then. At some point this year, I will try a week of no fruit just to see what happens.
