I love fruit, BUT...
R.T.
two or three day period, such as grapes, oranges, tangerines and
pineapple, I break out some on my back and/or shoulders. I'm convinced
that it's the fruit consumption that causes this, because I can eat just
meats, fishes and vegetables, and the breakouts completely clear up and
no new blemishes are formed. Maybe I'm mistaken about the
previously-named fruits being the culprit--and it's the apples and
bananas that I eat instead. It's just a funny thing that whenever I
eliminate fruit from my diet my shoulders and back are completely clear
after a short period of time.
I wonder if anyone else in the world experiences this same sort of
problem when they consume fruit on a consistent basis? Any of you guys
ever heard of this? Citrus problems maybe?

I have noticed that too. But for me, more is involved --
digestion/elimination systems are affected as well. And grains and starchy
veggies cause this too. So, I eat mostly animal based foods.

I eat a lot of fruit and find that whenever I combine fruits, I get a few
red bumps on my face, arms and maybe legs. They disappear without a trace
within a day or so. This also happens after exercise outdoors (jogging). I
assume it's a general, albeit very short-lived, allergic response. Check to
see if your problem might be combinations of fruit.
I've also heard anecdotes that fruit lead to increased acidity of the blood
(of course, still within accepted medical constrains - but just on the low
border of the healthy, neutral range). Does anyone know anything about this
and how it might involve the immune system?

Yes, it appears as some sort of allergic or sensitivity reaction. Only mine
rarely passes in one day, but it often develops into a large pimple.
Constipation often parallels this. And I don't have to eat a lot of the
offending food.

Doesn't fruit in excess generally loosen the stool?

Sounds like fringe stuff to me.

I don't know what it generally does, but I know that it has a reverse effect
in me.

Strange.
In both a faecal bulk and osmotic effect, fruit should be loosening.

because not only is sorbitol slowly absorbed itself, it slows the absorption of
fructose as well. Apple juice (high in fructose and sort of high in sorbitol)
has been shown (Hyams, et al) to cause abdominal cramping, diarrhea when consumed
in large amounts.

So what's your thoughts on yoga, Sandy, hmmmm?

long as you don't listen to them.
BTW, blood is controlled by homeostasis...what you eat isn't going to have
any sustantial effect on your blood pH (this includes the flavor of the week
CORAL CALCIUM).
If you know of anyone where this is the case please tell me becuase I'd be
elated to meet someone who periodically slips in and out of comas...

I didn't know this. My books only mention passive transport (osmotic
gradient?) for fructose and active transport (requires energy) for the
other monosaccharides.

I suppose anything that reduces the osmotic gradient would do this?

Hence the fruit stealing and gorging syndrome in kids :) DAMHIKT

So no need to worry on that score?

Neither, for that matter, are yogis. All that rice makes for low-quality

For me (as a kid) it was a neighbor's apple tree-- didn't really care that much for
his apples but didn't like him. Because serving sizes of juices (now bottles of 10-16
oz) the liklihood of people/kids getting a belly ache from fruit juice is greater.

That would be compensated by spiritual boost that might provide

Probably essential amino acid deficiencies,
and maybe some EFA deficiency as well.
I'd bet on it.

Much better to chew something then. Use it or lose it.
