Fruit. Back before there was candy and artificial sweeteners, there was fruit. Back before there was sin, there was fruit. Somewhere down the line, someone decided that this was the tastiest part of the tree, and it has been a staple of mankind’s diet ever since. Some people will swear to you that fruits are a collection of the healthiest foods on Earth. Some will say it’s the secret to living a longer life. It’s time to take a take a deeper dive into Mother Nature’s wonderous treat to find out if she’s really been feeding us right. Do fruits really contain the nectar of the Gods, or are they the least essential part of a balanced meal plan? Let’s find out.

I do feel the need to mention, especially with this specific list, the discrepancies between whether certain foods are fruits or vegetables. For convenience and consistency sake I am trying to rank foods in the groups they are most associated with. For instance, Cucumbers & Bell peppers are botanically fruits, however, they are most associated with the Vegetable food group, so they are ranked over in that video.

Every Vitamin & Mineral the Body Needs (Micronutrients Explained)

Vegetables. Often the most stereotypically heathy food group that we as people regularly consume. For ages humans have gathered and planted stalks and roots and entire civilizations have flourished on them. But does new science actually back this up or have we had the wool pulled over our eyes that this group of watered down salad fodders is more nutritious than we thought? Today we are breaking down each one’s pros and cons and having them face off head to head with one another to see which ones should be in your salad bowls and which ones are better left in the ground.

I do feel the need to mention, especially with this specific list, the discrepancies between whether certain foods are fruits or vegetables. For convenience and consistency sake I am trying to rank foods in the groups they are most associated with. For instance: Cucumbers and Eggplant are botanically a fruit but are most often associated with the vegetable food group. Corn is often categorized as either a starchy grain or vegetable depending on it’s point of development. There are also certain foods like Edamame and Mushrooms that are legumes and fungi respectively. However I do not have any intention of making a full list for either of those groups so this is where they fit best.

ATTENTION

I’ll be the first to admit there’s a few slip ups here and there in this video and unfortunately once you upload something you can’t change it.
