    I remember a friend, newly diagnosed with diabetes, learning that over ripe bananas have a higher sugar content that normal or under ripe bananas. It mattered because he was diabetic. Not sure that it really matters for those of us pursuing a healthy lifestyle.

    Enjoy you r bananas!

    Things that don't make you fat.

    1. Sugar
    2. Carbs
    3. fats
    4. eating at or after a specific time.
    5. eating fructose
    6. eating lactose.
    7. eating high GI

    The thing that makes you fat.
    1. Eating above your maintenance calories

    Worth quoting again. Every day. Twice a day maybe.

    Are you sure they weren't being sarcastic?

    For what it's worth I have seen legitimate fear mongering over a banana and some corn.

    Dead srs.

    LOL I'm afraid she may have read my post that said "BAN BANANAS" in a totally sarcastic way. I forget that sarcasm is lost online. :ohwell:

    EDIT: In fact one of the banana bashers sent me a PM once to insult me. Totally unsolicited. I found out he was a Gary Taubes follower though and that's when I realized he obviously had mental issues so I didn't take offense.

    This is the funniest thing I've heard today. Unsolicited banana bashing. LOL.

    One thing I know for sure is: there's a whole lot dumb, dumb, dumb advice on the MFP message boards. :laugh:

    when you track your cals you can track your sugar intake too. I blend a half of nanna in a sugar free iced cappachino in the morning. Yummy!

    I sure didn't get to be overweight from eating bananas or any fruit! Just saying. Bananas are great. I make a shake for breakfast every morning with almond milk. Like the one post says... "stay within your calories for the day" Can't go wrong there! :happy:

    I say eat the bananas. Most people don't get enough fruit as it is. If you don't eat the banana what are you replacing it with?

    The sugar in bananas acts differently than the same sugar removed from the bananas in question (say juice). Or to say it another way: a calorie is a calorie, except when it isn't.

    Whole fruits contain this wonderful thing called "pectin". . . .

    Bananas come highly recommended by Doctor Who. What more do you need to convince you?

    If the Doctor recommends it, it CAN'T be wrong! XD
