Whatare some frequently asked nutrition questions

No, absolutely not! Here is a quote from my favorite Doctor on this question., Doctor Oz.

" Not unless you eat two or three large watermelons or a peck of apples on top of a regular day's worth of food. You'd have to stay pretty darn determined about fruit eating to do any real damage to your waistline.

Look at the math: To gain a pound of weight from food, you need to consume 3,500 calories more than what your body uses. To gain a pound from fruit alone, you'd have to eat about 54 apples, 875 strawberries or 18 cantaloupes. And while it's true that 100 extra calories a day can leave you 10 pounds heavier at the end of a year, chances are that most people's weight gain comes from piling on foods that aren't fruit. (That afternoon Snickers habit you picked up? That's about 280 calories per bar.)

Fruit is full of water, fiber, polyphenols, vitamins and minerals, and it puts a lot of bulk in your belly for not a lot of calories. That makes it a diet buddy, not diet saboteur"
