Just found out apples are horrible for you? And so is nature Valley granola bars are too? It sounds like I should have been eating donuts and pizza all along instead of apples and granola bars. Any one have any advice on this?

    What is your source on this? Your information is only as good as the source.

    My co worker went to the doctor and the doctor said any kind of fruit is bad for you and you should not eat any of it.

    Apple's are horrible for you? That's new.

    All foods can be part of a balanced, healthy diet.

    is your Co worker diabetic, insulin resistant, sensitive to fruit (yes, this exists), what? Some context is needed, but chances are this does not apply to you.

    Anything processed is bad for you, however delicious... lol If you're trying to go low carb then stay away from most fruit... Stick to berries...

    All foods found in nature = good for you and nutritious!

    Granola bars are highly processed food with a ton of added sugar, I consider them junk food. I had a coworker constantly on a diet and she would eat one of those every day for breakfast (I forgot which brand) and one day she looked at the nutrition information on the package and says, "150 calories?! You mean I could have just had a candy bar instead???. LOL!

    I would be very careful about any information you receive second hand. It is very likely that your coworker is prediabetic/diabetic. The doctor told them they need to watch their carbohydrates, and fruit has carbohydrates. Which your coworker somehow translated to apples are bad for you.

    Or it's a digestive fiber thing specific to the patient.
