Question 1

i have not eaten fruit since i was 6 (with the exception of tomatoes and fruit juice). am i at high risk for gout or other diseases?

Accepted Answer

No: These foods do not effect gout.

Question 2

is fruit/fruit juice ok for me if i'm hypoglycemic?

Accepted Answer

Only during symptoms: "hypogycemias" are real in diabetic patients that take too much medication or don't eat after taking medications. Unless there is  tumor producing low glucose (insulinoma) most people keep normal levels of glucose even while starving. If you recover from your symptoms quickly with the fruit or juice is possible you have real hypoglycemia but is better to prove &measure it ( must be less than 60 ).

Question 3

does fruit juice affect aceon (perindopril)?

Accepted Answer

No: There is no interaction between the two.

Question 4

what is the best drink to health other than mineral water and fruit juice?

Accepted Answer

Plain water: Assuming that your water is potable (consumable by humans), you don't need anything fancy, eg bottled etc. Even fruit juice isn't ideal. Better to eat actual fruit which includes fiber etc rather than drink excess calories. Many studies suggest benefit from tea &amp; coffee but still not clear as to how much how often of which kind. This assumes heart &amp; brain aren't irritated by caffeine.

Question 5

can i dissolve a medicated pill (methylphenidate 5g) in fruit juice and then drink it 3 hours later?

Accepted Answer

Doesn't work: You can drink it but don't be surprised if it doesn't work.

Question 6

can you be allergic to fruit juice?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Allergic antibodies (ige) can be formed to any large complex molecule that is recognized as foreign to the body such as: animal and plant proteins or carbohydrates, bacteria, fungi, insect venoms or excrement (dust mites) or even synthetic molecules such as drugs. The presence of ige does not, by it self,  confirm true allergy; clinical symptoms occurring after exposure must also be noted.

Question 7

what distinguishes eating fruit from having fruit juice?

Accepted Answer

Big difference: Eating fruits gives you a lot of fiber which is healthful for your bowel functions. Juices have too much sugar and will make you eat more as high sugar leads to increased hunger due to high Insulin levels which follow after consuming sugary drinks.

Question 8

what to do if i am craving fruits and fruit juice. why do you think this is?

Accepted Answer

Fruits: Fruits and fruit juices are appetizers. They will naturally increase your appetite.

Question 9

is consuming tropicana fruit juice good for health ?

Accepted Answer

It is ok: Fruit juices are popular among the public but they have considerable amount of added sugar in them. So they can add lot of daily calories to your intake and thus add to your weight. So if you are overweight, then it is not a good idea to drink fruit juice. Eat fruits instead...they are much more healthier and do not alter your blood sugar as much as fruit juice would do
