Are fruits good for us at all?

   Its not good to eat fruit in any excess. For most people, especially in the beginning of a raw food lifestyle, they have far too much sugar. They also do not have a good mineral balance nor much fiber. The exception to that rule are the papaya and mango which have a higher mineral value than most vegetables but not much fiber. I also like pineapple, which is loaded with papain, a powerful digestive enzyme. If you have trouble with fruit because of the sugar content try eating berries, granny smith apples and prickly pears. Fruits that have a high good fat content are baby coconuts which are sold in Asian markets and health food stores, avocados and durians also sold in Asian markets. Foods that have a high fat content also contain lipase which eats up fat.
