Which fruits are ideal to consume?

[tests]

Most fruits give me acne, but my body seems to crave them a lot. Don't know if I should just stop eating fruits (Which is really really difficult) or only consume certain ones. I typically consume bananas, blackberries, bluberries, strawberries

[TylerDurden]

Just keep on trying different fruits to see which trigger the acne. If all do so, then try raw veg instead.

Are you sure about that? I have never heard of such an issue. Aren't skin issues related to dairy products?

[LifeIsExperience]

One thing I would consider as a trigger for pimples: overeating fruits / sugar. Maybe not the fruits are your real problem but the amount of fruits.

If you are consuming factory bananas, such as cavendish, you must know they are full of chemicals and herbicides and pesticides and everything they can pump into them.

You may be suffering from factory banana poisoning.

Too much fruit is the only thing that makes my acne flare up.

Lots of raw dairy prevents it. I often get a bit of acne when I run out of dairy for a few days as well.

I ouldnt recommend raw veg to anyone though. The juice perhaps but not regularly eating veggies.

SVRN, how does lots of raw dairy prevent it? That is a new one to me... most people break out from dairy (also which exact dairy products do you consume??)

Also, why do you not recommend eating raw veg regularly? What about cooked vegetables?

which banana variety should I be consuming then??

I don't see anything wrong with raw vegetables.

What bananas can you get in your area? Anything other than Cavendish is possibly better. Your results will be the determining factor in whether a different variety is good for you. Best place to look is in ethnic markets, if you have them in your area.

Which ones would you reccomend (other than cavendish)?

[tests]

So I called some ethnic markets and this is what they carry:

baby bananas, organic bananas, plantains, yellow plantains

No one knows the names of these bananas though. Most are clueless

Me too. What's the issue?

[Haai]

I would quit eating bananas altogether. They are the most likely culprit for your acne. Too much sugar in them.

Regular consumption of raw veggies builds up anti-nutrients in your system. Plus the fiber is difficult to digest. Plus I believe the gut flora seems to be happier with bacteria from meat rather than veggies, as shown by Lex's colonoscopy and others' experiences with digestive issues on this forum.

what about cooked veggies? Also dr.dr, what is your opinion on the consumption fats other than animal fat?

[RogueFarmer]

Are you eating organic or non-organic. I was told many years ago to avoid all non-organic fresh fruit as they are sprayed with I think ethyline gas or something to ripen them, which causes them to produce the same toxin found in latex but at much higher levels. Quit eating non-organic tomatoes, bananas, strawberries and others and my acne cleared up! It was also believed to have been a possible cause of a tumor that I had for 9 years.

IMO, cooked veggies are worse. There are enough studies to show that cooked destroys the enzymes and greatly limits bioavailability in proportion to the amount its cooked. I haven't cooked my veggies in over a year and recently stopped consuming them altogether, I feel less drained and less hungry. They are taxing to digest.

I don't really think plant fats are beneficial. I ate unrefined organic but heated nutova coconut oil for the past year and haven't seen a change in anything, possibly even halting my weight loss.

exactly this.

veggies feel like they really sit in my gut.

organic veggies but non-organic fruits. Maybe that is why.

Aren't anti-nutrients a problem of grains, beans, legumes and potatoes. I don't thinc that e.g. a fennel (as long as its taste is pleasant) is harmful?!

I would say based on my experience almost certainly. Fresh non-organic strait from the farm won't have that same problem and they probably use less chemicals than store fruit, but even that is definitely far less than ideal.

I think that the carrot family, which includes fennel, cilantro and parsley are among the least harmful and most beneficial of vegetables.
