Does fruit contain a good amount of sugar?

its natural sugar. not the stuff you by in the grocery store.

second answer:

Sugar is an important macronutrient used to produce energy in your body via the citric acid cycle. Despite some crash diet ideology, sugars and fats are good for you and you should consume them relative to your specific need. Consuming more than you need usually causes you to store it as fat.

more in depth:

I have wondered the same thing. Fruits contain the monosaccaride fructose which is a simple sugar. I've always heard to stay away from simple sugars because they spike your blood sugar due to the fact that they are absorbed so quickly (unlike a disaccaride which has to be broken down to monosaccarides to be used for energy). I've come to the conclusion that fruits are good for you because they contain a lot of fiber (polysaccarides including some that are indigestable). This fiber slows the digestion of the simple sugars you just consumed from the fruit making it like consuming a disaccaride. Again, this is me putting 2 pieces of knowledge together. I didnt read this from a text book or hear it from a licensed nutritionist.

What fruit has the highest concentration of sugar?

Speaking for US produce, grapes have a very high sugar level.

Next in line come dates, prunes, raisins, figs, mangos, crabapples, pears, passion fruit, black current

low on the sugar totem pole are:

squash, gooseberry, lemons, blackberries, youngberries, dewberries, boysenberries, graperfruit, papaya,

red currents, raspberries, Logan berries, cranberries, elderberries

Good source for this info is:

or search internet for "fruit brix"

organic fruits tend to have more sugar than non-organics.

What is the minimum daily salt requirement?

For ages the people, who were living far away from the sea had no access to common salt. You need to take common salt in hot climate. In cold temperate climate the salt intake is probably not necessary.

Do pistachios have potassium?

No, cashews are not high in the electrolyte known as potassium. They contain only 195mg in a 1/4 cup serving of dry roasted.

In regard specifically to nuts, the highest content of potassium is found in Almonds.

Funnily enough, there is high potassium content in dried apricots and dried peaches (which are also a very tasty snack), double bonus.

What do fructose and glucose bond to form?

They form sucrose .

Sucrose, (table sugar). Don't ingest it, fructose is bad for you, it's addictive and makes you fat.

Furctose is not necessarily bad for you if it comes from a naturally occuring source such as a whole apple or other raw fruit. The food industry sometimes concentrates this particular sugar and adds it to corn syrup. The result is high fructose corn syrup. This is not a naturally occuring sugar! High fructose corn syrup may not be processed by the body in the same way that other naturally occuring sugars are processed. This is why some believe it causes additional body fat as mentioned above. You should probably avoid this man-made additive found in some in sodas and in some fruit cocktail drinks. Natural fructose is found in the whole fruit which can be found in the produce department of the grocery store (or in the orchard!). The whole fruit contains lots of fiber which helps to mitigate the sugar spikes in your blood. Fruit juice, which is a processed form of the natural fruit, loses much of the fiber content that should be included with any ingestion of fructose. Eat more of the raw fruit and drink fruit juice in moderation. So, in fact, you can ingest small amounts of fructose. It is not bad for you in its natural form if you balance your diet properly. Cane sugar (referred to as table sugar), and black strap molassess can also be ingested in moderation. They are a form of sucrose. Brown sugar is also related to cane sugar and molasses. Glucose is a sugar found in the blood and is necessary for metabolism and energy. It can be bad for your health if it is too concentrated or can not be broken down by the body chemistry. Diabetics often have this problem due to many factors such as insulin resistance. High amounts of sugar can trigger an over production of insulin and this leads to further problems as people age. Table sugar can be found in many processed foods which are usually packaged in a can or box so if you do not cook from scratch be aware that you are already eating table sugar before you hit the sugar bowl! All sugar should be used in moderation and in a properly balanced diet that should include lots of fiber and generous amounts of lean protein, vegatables and other important greens.

How would you explain the dietary importance of amino acids and proteins to a person who is following a diet composed primarily of carbohydrates?

The importance of protein in a healthy diet is well known to nutritional scientists, and widely understood by the general population. Indeed, every bodily system is directly or indirectly supported by protein. For example, protein supports the structural development of cells, helps ensure the integrity of tissue, aids digestion, carries hormones, and strengthens the immune system[i].

More recently, however, the motivation for people to choose protein-rich foods has been fueled by carbohydrate-free and carbohydrate-reduced diets, such as the Atkins™ Diet, South Beach Diet™ and Isometric Diet™. Via each of these diet programs, millions of people are vigilantly scanning food labels, and asking pertinent health questions when eating out. Added to this growing number of protein-aware people are, of course, the millions of bodybuilders, powerlifters and athletes who have demonstrated for centuries the irreplaceable value of protein in building and maintaining muscle.

As impressive and inspiring as it is to see that more people than ever before are "protein-conscious", there is still more useful protein information to learn. It is well past time to add an understanding of amino acids to this protein knowledge base.

Many people - understandably -- do not recognize that amino acids are not acids as they are conventionally understood. Rather, they are the molecular units that comprise protein. They are, quite simply, the very building blocks of protein.

Amino acids are organic compounds that contain two groups of molecules: amino (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH). There are a total of 19 amino acids in the human diet, of which 11 are non-essential, and the remaining 8 are essential. It is this critically important fact - that there are 2 kinds of amino acids -- that should be well understood and acted upon by eaters everywhere.

If the term "amino acid" does not readily suggest the link to protein, the terms "non-essential" amino acids and "essential" amino acids can be sources of even greater confusion. The nutritional world is fond of the word "essential", and uses it often to describe something that is important, or critical, or irreplaceable. For example, a nutritionist may rationally inform her patient that eating 50 grams of protein per day is essential; and by this she means "very important".

How does flour help the body?

If it's raw its going to turn to goop in your stomach and might make you feel sick. Other than that, it shouldn't be different from eating other carbohydrates. Refined flour isn't the healthiest thing in the world - not a lot of nutrients and it tends to make you fat.

Does white bread have more nutrients than wheat?

Enriched white bread can easily contain more nutrients than so-called 'wheat' bread. Generally, whole wheat bread is the best bread to get, however, be sure to carefully examine the label for nutrient content. Caveat emptor!

Which vegetables have vitamin D?

Mushrooms provide vitamin D, if exposed to just 5 minutes of UV light after being harvested; this is one of a few natural sources of vitamin D for vegans. Very few foods are naturally rich in vitamin D, and most vitamin D intake is in the form of fortified products including milk, soy milk and cereal grains.

Another answer:

None. There are no vegetables that are naturally a source of vitamin D. Products like soy milk, almond milk, orange juice and breakfast cereals are enriched with vitamin D. Some mushrooms and fission yeasts contain a vitamin D precursor, ergosterol, that can be converted to vitamin D2 with exposure to ultraviolet light (specifically UV-B).

Vitamin D3 is an animal product derived from 7-dehydrocholesterol upon exposure to UV-B. 7-dehydrocholesterol is synthesized in animals along with cholesterol, and each can be converted to the other. Vitamin D3 dietary supplements are typically produced by exposing lanolin (washed from freshly shorn wool) to UV-B in a production facility. Because animals produce the precursor and convert it to vitamin D3 by the simple act of being under the Sun, it is not required in the diet, provided you receive enough direct exposure to sunlight, and so is not a true vitamin.
