Why aren't bananas and grapes recommended for people cutting sugar?

问：为什么不推荐“控糖”人士吃香蕉和葡萄？

 

While most fruits make a slow journey through the digestive tract¹, bananas and grapes are particularly high in fructose given the amount of fiber² they contain, so they give us a faster sugar spike³. Dr. Robert Lustig of the University of California, San Francisco, calls grapes "little bags of sugar." Enjoy bananas and grapes sparingly and opt⁴ for a variety of fruits.

答：虽然大多数水果被消化的时间较长，但香蕉和葡萄的果糖含量极高，考虑到它们的纤维含量，它们会让血糖飙升得更快。加州大学旧金山分校的罗伯特·勒斯蒂格博士说，葡萄堪比“小袋糖”。建议少食香蕉和葡萄，多吃各种各样的水果。

 

If I can't have orange juice, what am I supposed to drink in the morning?

问：如果不能喝橙汁，早上应该喝什么?

 

Even though orange juice is a natural food, the juicing process eliminates much of the fiber and concentrates the sugar, making it a poor choice. Make juice a once-a-week treat. Instead, try ice water with an orange wedge.

答：尽管橙汁是一种天然食品，但榨汁过程会消除很多纤维，并浓缩糖分，因此这不是一个好的选择。每周喝一次果汁即可。你可以尝试橙子块加冰水来代替。
