Fruits play a very important role in our daily diet, with a variety of varieties, sweet and sour, and rich in many nutrients, but there is always some gossip about them, both online and realistic.
The lethality of rumors is that they don't take it seriously at the beginning, and if they hear more, they will slowly accept it. Today, the CDC has come to make a good deal for everyone, those fruit rumors that have been spread for a long time and have a large scope of influence.

Do not eat fruits with a lot of acid on an empty stomach
Can't be partially generalized!
Many people think that lemon, hawthorn and other sour flavors of the fruit is a fruit with more acid, can not be eaten on an empty stomach, in fact, not, first of all, we should know which fruits are acidic food.
For example, many weight loss people will use apples instead of staple foods to eat, eating apples on an empty stomach will not only not feel gastrointestinal discomfort, but also reduce calorie intake, to a certain extent, play a role in weight loss. However, apples are actually fruits with more acids.
On the other hand, tomatoes and pomegranates, these two fruits are not sour in taste, but they both contain some ingredients that stimulate gastric acid secretion or react with stomach acid to form precipitates, and eating on an empty stomach is not conducive to gastrointestinal peristalsis.
Therefore, whether you can eat fruits with more acids on an empty stomach should also be analyzed individually and cannot be generalized.

Eating fruit before meals can ensure nutrient absorption
What nonsense!
For a long time, there is such a saying: eating fruit after a meal, the meal will be digested and absorbed in front of the fruit, so that the fruit cannot be directly digested, plus the fruit is easier to spoil than the meal, nutrient loss, and when the fruit is digested, the nutrition basically disappears.
This statement sounds quite graphic, and it is reasonable, and many people will believe it. However, as long as we combine the previous one, we can easily find the logical loophole: you can't eat fruit on an empty stomach, and you can't eat fruit after a meal.
Further argue that all the food we eat must be chewed by teeth, saliva decomposition, esophagus, etc. to finally reach the stomach, and then react together to be absorbed by the human body, as for the absorption of various nutrients, it is not in the order of eating, but in the individual physique. If you insist on finding a place where there is a conflict between eating and eating fruit, it may be that the stomach capacity is limited, and you may not be able to eat fruit after eating too much. Therefore, there is no direct link between the digestion and absorption of nutrients in fruits and eating a meal.

There are a lot of pesticides left on the peel and cannot be eaten
No need to worry too much!
Everyone should have heard such a tongue twister: "Eat grapes without spitting grape skins", so can the skins of fruits with skins eat them in the end? Many people do not eat the peel because they are worried about the pesticide residue on the peel, and eating it will be harmful to the body.
In fact, there is no need to worry too much. Because the mainland clearly stipulates that fruit and vegetable cultivation must use water-soluble pesticides, which will be removed after washing and will not leave substances harmful to human health. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the National Health Commission, and the State Administration of Market Regulation have also issued a new version of the National Standard for Food Safety The maximum residue limit of pesticides in food, which stipulates the pesticide residue dose more strictly from the legal level.
In addition, from the perspective of nutrition, there are more dietary fibers, phytochemicals and other substances that are beneficial to health than the pulp, so it is recommended that you carefully clean the peel and pulp together.

Fruit instead of staple food is a good way to lose weight
This method is not good for health!
Many friends with slimming needs, the first way to lose weight is not to eat staple foods, only eat fruits, thinking that this can reduce the intake of staple foods, and then achieve the purpose of slimming down. So, is this method feasible or not?
First of all, the use of fruits instead of staple foods is indeed conducive to reducing energy intake, but it is necessary to pay attention to the control of quantity. The nutrients in the fruit are mainly water and carbohydrates, and eating too much fruit for a long time will lead to insufficient intake of protein, vitamin A, B vitamins, etc., which is not good for health.
Some friends think that fruits have a high sugar content, and eating too much fruit will make them fat. In fact, everyone confuses the connection between sweet and fat, thinking that sweet is high in calories, and it will become fat when eaten. In fact, fruits of equal weight are much lower in calories than staple foods. Therefore, eating fruit in moderation will not make you fat.
It should be noted that the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents point out that the recommended intake of fruits for mainland residents is 200-350 grams (about half a catty) per day, and the average intake of fruits for mainland residents is far from this standard. It is also recommended here that in daily life, you should increase the intake of fruits in moderation to meet the body's needs for a balanced diet.

Out-of-season fruits go against the laws of nature
Think too much!
In the past, seasonal fruits may not be eaten until the next year. But in recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for fruits is also getting wider and wider, we often in the winter, we can also buy watermelon, peaches and other out-of-season fruits, although the price is much more expensive than when purchased in the season, but there are still many people who would rather spend more money to eat.
Some people have put forward the idea that out-of-season fruits go against the laws of nature and are not conducive to health. This view is inaccurate. First of all, the out-of-season fruit is not contrary to the laws of nature, but the fruit farmers rationally use natural resources, planted in greenhouses, the use of preservatives, food additives, plant growth agents, etc. are allowed by the relevant national standards. Second, there is no necessary link between whether the fruit is healthy and whether it is planted naturally or in greenhouses.
