A member asked:

Read that fiber in fruit's skin moderates the fruit's impact on blood sugar.would this be true for eating fruits like litchi,etc where skin's removed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fiber is essential: You are quite right. Fiber in fruit modifies the way that sugar is handled in the body
