I've been in banana limbo lately. Is
eating a banana healthy or not?
How do we get past all these mixed
messages about bananas? I feel like there's a whole lot of banana monkey
business going on! At times, do you feel like a monkey swinging from one “Healthy
Eating” headline to another?
I try to be informed with healthy
food choices, but I must admit the almighty banana has probably the most mixed
messages of all the fruits. Eat bananas. Don't eat bananas. Bananas make you
fat. Bananas make you skinny. Bananas have too much sugar. Bananas have good
natural sugar. Bananas make your stomach flat. Bananas make you bloated. Bananas can be shoved into a tail
pipe. Oh, oops, that's for a different story.
No wonder we've all gone a little nuts over bananas; don't even get me started on nuts!
Anyway, here's what I have gathered
as somewhat the skinny on "banana
logic." My source is Chris Freytag who I think makes the most sense. I may be a little
biased as she's a Minnesota girl!
