I just heard on the radio the other day, about a guy who got into the Guiness Book as being the oldest man, he just died at 112. When they interviewed him a few weeks earlier, he said that he believes he has lived so long and so totally healthy by eating a banana for breakfast every day. But he did not say what he ate the rest of the day.
I’m regurgitating a comment I saw on another video. “How many fat people do you know who have eaten too much fruit” I don’t know of any. You’d think it would be common sense. Ever since I started eating 3-4 bananas a day, I’ve never felt better. I’ve maintained my weight and my digestion is night and day different.
I got rid of wheat, pasta, white rice, and sweets. So I now eat a banana with organic no sugar peanut butter as my sweets substitute. Also I love oranges with pistachios and pecans for a desert, and blueberries heated a tiny bit to get soft with pecans or cashews has been my treats since going mostly no sugar or Low sugar impact. I felt awesome in just a week. It's been just over 2 weeks now and I will not give in to sugary foods or junky processed food. YES to Bannanas! 110% for me because I don't eat junk sweets or bread anymore.
banana is man made...at least the one that people are eating regulary in supermarkets...Fruit is a *POISON* *PEOPLE CANT DIAGEST ANY KIND OF FIBER AT ALL!!* FIBER COUSING GUT DESTRUCTION... *GO CARNIVORE*
No the banana is not totally natural, it was bred to have more sugar in it, and be larger. A lot of the fruits and vegetables we have were bred and altered over the years, some of them becoming not healthy.
Today on the chopping block, our guest is The Banana... Have you ever wondered how healthy bananas are? Well all your questions are being answered! Are Bananas Healthy - Should you be eating Bananas #foodismedicine #eatrealfood #nutrition
+Marc Nello Dr Neal Barnard has had success in reversing Type 2 diabetes with a low fat high carb vegan diet, based on fruits and starches. It works better than a low carb diet.
What? Where? Theres NO such thing as "Curing" diabetes, If he did reverse diabetes then he'd be on the cover of every magazine and receive a Nobel peace price, but he's not, because he cant. "Curing Diabetes" is what Uneducated RUclipsrs and want you to believe. You can't cure a Pancreas. Diabetes is a progressive disease, it only gets worse. You can put a bandaid on it by eating less sugar, but theres no healing a pancreas.
+Marc Nello It is no cure, but it is the solution for type 2 diabetics. Type 2 diabetes is based on insulin sensitivity which happens when animal protein and fat prevent from sugar leaving your blood. Fruits improve insulin sensitivity and the lack of animal products will allow your body to respond better to insulin again and thus stabilizing blood sugar levels again.
No. There is no cure for Type 2 diabetes, just as there is no cure for type 1 diabetes. T2 also comes from a pancreas that has been damaged from too much sugar (aka carbing the F up will do it). Diabetes is progressive, it doesnt "heal", it only gets worse. You can treat it, but there is no cure.
Dr. Axe, how do you not know that the Banana is NOT the highest dose of Potassium "on the planet." An average baked sweet potato with skin provides 542mg (15% DV) of potassium; while the Potassium in an Average Banana is 358mg (10% DV) . Shine-On! :-)
I'm sorry but you can not get fat by eating bananas, it's all natural non added sugar with zero fat, so eat as many as you want! They are high in carbs, and carbs are very good at storing energy
+- - actually that's false. Carbohydrates are THE BASIC fuel for our bodies to function. If you're not a slob, or a sessile-couch organism, it's unlikely you'll get fat from the compounds which are catabolised even when you think, breathe or sustain body temperature. Finally even If your only food was table sugar ( sucrose ) as long as you'd intake at least somewhat less in its caloric value, to the amount you spend daily, you'd still be losing fat.
Thank you for sharing! We are fruitarians with lots of greens of course and we ate lots of bananas every single day, we NEVER EVER experienced high blood sugar levels neither anyone that we know! To regulate blood sugar levels you need to eliminate animal protein and excess fat to keep it around 10% and even diabetic patients heal from this disease... By the way the banana on this video is not ripe! it can obviously cause some digestive problems. It's not to argue with it's just to share our experience as well. Sacred Raw Food
thumbs down, this man knows nothing about health if he thinks fruit can be bad for u in anyway. fruit is human's perfect food. go 8/10/10 and see the amazing results with the frutarian lifestyle! fruits and veggies are all we need
You don't want to be consuming a lot of fat with sugar in the first place because it is going to take longer for your body to process the sugar. The low fat in bananas is a positive, not a negative! I just finished eating 10 bananas today for the first time ever. This was an experiment just to see how I feel. My assessment is that it gives you more energy than you really need if you are just sitting around at a desk all day. After this experiment, I would say that I prefer filling up with foods like brown rice that will give me a more steady release of energy. For me, one banana gave me energy which lasted about an hour. But I didn't really need the quick jolt in energy. It was interesting to get that sugar rush each time I ate a banana, but its just not something I think I would enjoy doing on a daily basis. I mean, it just makes more sense to me to eat something that gives you a more steady stream of energy when just sitting at a desk. Maybe bananas will do this if you ate 10 at a time, but I did this experiment eating 1 banana at the time throughout the day, and then eating another one the next time I was hungry.
This is definitely a case by case matter. Like Dr. Axe said IF your blood sugar is sensitive you may need to use caution. I did a little experiment yesterday because of the mystery surrounding bananas and whether or not people should be drinking smoothies because they are high in sugar. My fasting blood sugar was 84 and after drinking a smoothie that contained 1 1/2 frozen bananas, close to 1 1/2 cups of frozen berries, spinach, avocado and water my blood sugar was 106 1 & 2 hours later.
*shrug* I've lost over 200 pounds in 2 1/2 years and bananas are almost always a daily food, as are white potatoes (with skin). However, fruit juice, soda, candy, standard cookies, etc., were mostly cut from my daily diet. All about common-sense. Don't intake too much of any energy source, whether it be carbs, fats or proteins. Balance it out, eat proper portions, move more, and wallah, weight loss. The only notation I agree with is if someone has serious blood sugar issues, then, yes, bananas are probably not wise to consume often.
@@yeiyei3869 Well he'd still be off because potatoes are a starchy vegetable not a grain. It is obvious he meant to say oatmeal, as the second grain because he was expounding on oatmeal. He also said at about 1:30 that bananas have 500 mg of banana, but at least he caught himself with that one. He needs a nap.
😂, rewatch the video , he didn’t tell everyone to stop eating bananas. Perhaps you need someone to explain it you in more simple terms that you can under
Now we have heard of some of the great health benefits of bananas, but a lot of people worry about the sugar content. I will tell you, bananas are teetering on the edge of the Chopping Block. Let us talk about the pros and cons of bananas... #healthyliving #foodbenefits #tuesday
Oh I love my organic bananas but I know they are sweet but I always eat them with an avocado, hempseed and water- which makes a super smooth breakfast pudding
Bananas are my favorite fruit to eat they are so good, I am 17 years old, healthy and very skinny, I prefer to eat bananas when they're cold , hard, and smooth. Sometimes I will eat multiple bananas at a time , like three or four. :D
+Dr. Josh Axe Carbs are bad and Fat is good right? That's why america is fat. Because of the carbs. Despite us eating meat as the main course of every meal haha. Blame it on the carbs! Even though high carbers have lower overall fat lol.
While you do have some good information, some of your information is inaccurate. Bananas have been highly hybridized from the "wild banana" . Also not all bananas are created equal in nutrients/fiber/sugar/fat/etc.
I really think he is doing a great job with this channel and is way way better than most doctors. *but he recommends meat which is clearly not healthy. And Okraw you are one of my faves clearly u are super healthy. However I got so sick from Beet and kale juice. If it was good for us we would not get sick, even you got sick from it. beets and kale and such should be cooked and eaten and not made into juices. Cooked food are not bad like yall rawfood ppl say. But cant argue with the fact that you are a super human with superb health.
Learn Organic Gardening at GrowingYourGreens You are completely right bro,banana is man-made food,its seedless so it cant be natural cuz in nature it couldnt reproduce as all wild palnt world are constanty doing. Birds would not be able to poop the seeds in the ground and yelow banana will never be able to grow in nature so,you are right bro 100%
Sugar from fruit is fructose, which *is* the same as sugar from refined, processed foods. Have you ever read the labels to see what kind of sugar they put in that stuff? Every cell in your body can use glucose for energy, but only your liver can break down fructose. Fructose is a risk factor in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Stop the irrational "car hating" labeling please. Don't ignore context. This video said the pros of bananas are high potassium and magnesium, and the cons are sugar. I was comparing bananas to avocados. They are even higher in the "pros" for bananas, and they don't have the cons for bananas. How does that make me an irrational carb hater?
Bananas good , misinformation bad, bad, bad. The problem most people have is that they won't do anything about their condition until the you know what has hit the fan. I'm always amazed at the reaction people have when they hear my answer to their question about loosing weight. You can eat about anything, and that is if you can't find the will to eliminate certain foods, but and this is important mind the portions, as long as you do some excercise you'll be able to maintain a healthy weight and overall life. No big secret, no weird or extreme diets, no need for supplements as vitamin pills or whatever. Our body is like a beautiful machine and as such it needs fuel to run well. You don't put diesel if your car runs on gasoline and viceversa. Worst, we treat our bodies, our digestive system, like a trash compactor pouring all sorts of junk expecting nothing bad will come off it. The sooner, earliest we develop good eating habits along with a less sedentary life style the least health problems we'll have. If you can walk the distance do it, ditch the car. Certain foods if you can't eliminate have a treat just don't overdo it . Little steps, be moderate and don't give up.
I don't really believe that you know what you are talking about. The "fructose" factor in a banana which represents 27% is actually made of INULIN and its derivative Fracto-oligosaccharides and CANNOT affect sugar level in the blood!!! Inulin is a term applied to a heterogeneous blend of fructose polymers found widely distributed in nature as plant storage carbohydrates. Oligofructose is a subgroup of inulin, consisting of polymers with a degree of polymerization (DP) ≤10. Inulin and oligofructose are not digested in the upper gastrointestinal tract; therefore, they have a reduced caloric value. They stimulate the growth of intestinal bifidobacteria. They do not lead to a rise in serum glucose or stimulate insulin secretion. Please be specific if you need to "chop" information though it would be hard going against your American genetic lust after exposure!
It's ideal as a fuel if you do very intensive activities. I used to eat 1 banana before jiu jitsu and I had enough energy for 2 hours of that and because of the consistency I felt full throughout. It's a great fruit if you know when to eat it.
I have a Banana every morning and believe it has great advantages. I exercise with light weights and along with cutting out added sugars (like most granola bars) the fat has dropped off and muscle has increased. It works for me as a part of eating healthy and exercising.
What about blending it up? Mercola recommends juicing low sugary fruits? Fructose is Fructose, if you juice and drink alot of sugary fruits in juices , your chances of diabetes is increased. Americans eat and drink loads of sugar.
" One single banana has 500mgs of *banana*..." 1:29 - 1:35 " And has a lower amount of carbohydrates than even the healthier grains like rice, *bananas* and quino a " 2:02- 2.10 Oh my Word he is so funny, and this video is definitely not bananas ;) ;) ;)
I’m so confused because I love Bananas but stopped eating them because most functional Doctors say not eat them but eat berries instead because of the sugar., it’s so confusing!! I eat a avocado every day and I don’t eat any grains
I am not an athletic, but I like eating banana for breakfast because it's cheap and it keeps me stay healthy. This is sure better than having a bagel, muffin or donut for breakfast.
Hahaah. But then you want to take energy from your fat storage and not sugar storage that's why it's best to cut out sugary food and carbs food(such as banana)
zukodude487987 That's so old school. Many people went high fat and lose weight and never gained it back. Of course not any fatty foods you can eat, but the natural fatty foods.
I have a sensitivity to bananas. I love them but whenever I eat a banana I know I am in for some nigh time frights. I actually always, what I call get 'stuck'. My family know about my problem and know when it happens. This is it; if I eat a banana on the same night I will wake up during the night but only in my head. I cannot move, I am totally unable to communicate with any part of my body and have to make myself breath. Its like I'm buried alive. I try to summon help by willing my self to groan (I've been told I sound like something from a horror film). After a time which seems like 5 minutes I can usually start to move my body slightly and eventually do something vigorous to wake me up. its a frightening experience and have often been helped by people who hear me . They say I looked like I was dead apart from the sounds I make. I can hear everything around me like TV, cars in the street people moving etc. This only happens when I eat bananas. What's causing this.
I actually suffered from this when I was younger. I learned that it is a sleeping disorder. Apparently the body will stay asleep while u in your head actually wake up. I used to call out to God in my head to get my body to wake up too. Anyways. Lack of sleep or stress triggers this. When I started sleeping properly I haven't had it since. Eating hasn't done that to me. It could be your body is feeling stressed by the banana before bed.
We always banana.. if ripe it's sweet but I want the other variety banana that we boil it unripe And when my mother was decrease her potassium I didn't choose that kind of banana but I choose the other banana that higher potassium than that ,I blend together with other vegetables and gve to her then she can walk..
If I am not mistaken bandannas convert massively to sugar as they ripen ....my guess is an unripe banana compared to an overly ripe one are like two seperately animals...no?
So, it's not as bad as grains like oatmeal? Oatmeal has fiber, protein, and slow digesting carbs. It's consistently used by dieters because it's easy to go 4 or 5 hours after a medium size bowl of oatmeal. Try going 4 or 5 hours after a couple bananas.
I searched for bananas on youtube today because a I have a few banana trees in my yard that are about to give forth vast amounts of "apple bananas". They are smaller and they taste different and I am now wondering if they are very nutritionally different. Do you know? Are apple banana's better for you than cavandish?
I don't doubt that you could put on weight by massively overeating these, but it is highly unlikely as they are so high in fibre and very filling. I eat a high carb whole foods plant based diet, with lots of fruit for breakfast, and it has been the key to keeping me slim and healthy.
i give my son a banana for breakfast before his school workout early morns when he says he cant eat breakfast so early like your channel short vids packed with knowledge and good ideas no blah blah
Sometimes people crave bananas and avocados whent they are low in B1 or potassium. Sometimes the gut knows best and your mind is over managing. Even oxalates, which are high in avocados, I notice I can never over eat high oxalate foods, I just stop wanting them after having a certain amount.
I personally have begun to phase out bananas from my diet and consuming more avocados. A single avocado has double the potassium of a banana and you're getting the omega 3 fatty acids as well minus the sugar!
Watching this as I eat a banana, lol. Many keto and carnivore doctors think all fruit is evil. Talk about extreme polarization! Too much meat isn't healthy either. Never saw anyone get fat on bananas, by the way.
No bananas will not make you fat, but if you are trying hard to lose weight, I would advise to avoid them because they contain a lot of sugar. However I recommend a diet full of organic whole fruits and vegetables.
really? I don't believe you. Post a video of you testing your blood sugar after you eat those 12 bananas. I guarantee its not in a healthy range. There aint no flipping way youre eating 12 bananas and your blood sugar is in a healthy range after.
Hi Dr. Axe, I've recently subscribed to your channel & I'm enjoying all your health information & recipes! I have a question, if you don't mind! Potatoes...are they healthy? I know sweet potatoes are packed full of health benefits, but what about the others: Idaho, russet, red, golden... It would we awesome if you did a video on potatoes! :)
But isn't natural sugar in fruit better handled by the body than man made sugars like glucose-fructose and white sugar? Do a video on how the body handles different sugars.
Love your channel. I watch your videos all the time while getting ready for the day. They have really helped me. I hope that one day my channel is as good as yours (fingers crossed).
too much of everything is Bad, even the protein or collagen powder ( that I just bought like 6 cans of them. i hope they work) bottom line, should be taken in moderation
The Cavendish Banana is actually *hybridized*. I'm not sure if it's GMO, but it was hybridized. It is also a Monoculture that is reproduced through cloning (instead of sexual reproduction). Here's an article on the matter of our current Banana, the Cavendish, and how it is at risk of being killed off like the Gros Michel (the previous top Banana). There's speculation that we'll have to further hybridize the Cavendish to be immune to Panama Disease www.economist.com/blogs/feastandfamine/2014/02/bananas
I usually have a banana after a workout where the sugar is not minded so much. If you or your viewers have trouble with ab exercises because of back or neck pain - visit us at the AbStand for a machine that works while you stand.
This dude is using a banana for energy before his run (CARBS), but claims carbs are bad! Ahahahaha!!! You're hilarious doc'. Go get some nutrition facts from dr. greger before spouting unscientific drivel.
You need to pay attention. He is healthy and active and uses it for fuel when runs. What he said is if you have sugar or weight issues, avoid them because of their glycerin index.
cathridge He is completely wrong about that. Studies have shown natural sugar (not refined, and still attached to phyto nutrients and fiber) has zero detrimental effects on diabetics. Which is why doctors reverse diabetes and heart disease with whole food plant based diets.

I was comparing bananas to avocados. They are even higher in the "pros" for bananas, and they don't have the cons for bananas. How does that make me an irrational carb hater?
Fun fact avocado is a fruit.
And bananas are berries.
How come people who eat 30+ bananas a day are so thin?
Brian Nichols I know, so many people don't realize why people actually get fat. Even highly trained doctors get confused with this topic.
Humans are frugivores, so yes, eat freaking bananas.
You can eat 10 bananas a day and not gain weight.
I ate about 7 today.
Bananas good , misinformation bad, bad, bad. The problem most people have is that they won't do anything about their condition until the you know what has hit the fan. I'm always amazed at the reaction people have when they hear my answer to their question about loosing weight. You can eat about anything, and that is if you can't find the will to eliminate certain foods, but and this is important mind the portions, as long as you do some excercise you'll be able to maintain a healthy weight and overall life. No big secret, no weird or extreme diets, no need for supplements as vitamin pills or whatever. Our body is like a beautiful machine and as such it needs fuel to run well. You don't put diesel if your car runs on gasoline and viceversa. Worst, we treat our bodies, our digestive system, like a trash compactor pouring all sorts of junk expecting nothing bad will come off it. The sooner, earliest we develop good eating habits along with a less sedentary life style the least health problems we'll have. If you can walk the distance do it, ditch the car. Certain foods if you can't eliminate have a treat just don't overdo it . Little steps, be moderate and don't give up.
I don't really believe that you know what you are talking about. The "fructose" factor in a banana which represents 27% is actually made of INULIN and its derivative Fracto-oligosaccharides and CANNOT affect sugar level in the blood!!! Inulin is a term applied to a heterogeneous blend of fructose polymers found widely distributed in nature as plant storage carbohydrates. Oligofructose is a subgroup of inulin, consisting of polymers with a degree of polymerization (DP) ≤10. Inulin and oligofructose are not digested in the upper gastrointestinal tract; therefore, they have a reduced caloric value. They stimulate the growth of intestinal bifidobacteria. They do not lead to a rise in serum glucose or stimulate insulin secretion. Please be specific if you need to "chop" information though it would be hard going against your American genetic lust after exposure!
It's ideal as a fuel if you do very intensive activities. I used to eat 1 banana before jiu jitsu and I had enough energy for 2 hours of that and because of the consistency I felt full throughout. It's a great fruit if you know when to eat it.
Actually the banana scores 16 on Glycemic "LOAD",, Which doesnt spike your blood sugar,,
Glycemic "LOAD" is more useful than glycemic index,,
izwabbit Depends On Your Body!
I have a Banana every morning and believe it has great advantages. I exercise with light weights and along with cutting out added sugars (like most granola bars) the fat has dropped off and muscle has increased. It works for me as a part of eating healthy and exercising.
Thanks for confirming what I already felt about the banana.
What about blending it up? Mercola recommends juicing low sugary fruits? Fructose is Fructose, if you juice and drink alot of sugary fruits in juices , your chances of diabetes is increased. Americans eat and drink loads of sugar.
" One single banana has 500mgs of *banana*..." 1:29 - 1:35
" And has a lower amount of carbohydrates than even the healthier grains like rice, *bananas* and quino a " 2:02- 2.10
Oh my Word he is so funny, and this video is definitely not bananas ;) ;) ;)
I’m so confused because I love Bananas but stopped eating them because most functional Doctors say not eat them but eat berries instead because of the sugar., it’s so confusing!! I eat a avocado every day and I don’t eat any grains
Always great info. Keep up the good work, Dr Axe!
I am not an athletic, but I like eating banana for breakfast because it's cheap and it keeps me stay healthy. This is sure better than having a bagel, muffin or donut for breakfast.
This video was so painful to watch.....
Z-Scart why
The sheer ignorance.
Eat the banana and then walk...The sugar will be burned as energy and no more worries about getting fat. Simple, right.
Hahaah. But then you want to take energy from your fat storage and not sugar storage that's why it's best to cut out sugary food and carbs food(such as banana)
+Kevin Delacruz You don't cut carbs to lose fat, you cut out fatty foods to lose fat.

That's so old school. Many people went high fat and lose weight and never gained it back.
Of course not any fatty foods you can eat, but the natural fatty foods.
Aré bananas 🍌 allowed to make a milk 🥛 shake with coconut 🥥 milk and Greek yogurt?
I have a sensitivity to bananas. I love them but whenever I eat a banana I know I am in for some nigh time frights. I actually always, what I call get 'stuck'. My family know about my problem and know when it happens. This is it; if I eat a banana on the same night I will wake up during the night but only in my head. I cannot move, I am totally unable to communicate with any part of my body and have to make myself breath. Its like I'm buried alive. I try to summon help by willing my self to groan (I've been told I sound like something from a horror film). After a time which seems like 5 minutes I can usually start to move my body slightly and eventually do something vigorous to wake me up. its a frightening experience and have often been helped by people who hear me . They say I looked like I was dead apart from the sounds I make. I can hear everything around me like TV, cars in the street people moving etc. This only happens when I eat bananas. What's causing this.
I actually suffered from this when I was younger. I learned that it is a sleeping disorder. Apparently the body will stay asleep while u in your head actually wake up. I used to call out to God in my head to get my body to wake up too. Anyways. Lack of sleep or stress triggers this. When I started sleeping properly I haven't had it since. Eating hasn't done that to me. It could be your body is feeling stressed by the banana before bed.
We always banana.. if ripe it's sweet but I want the other variety banana that we boil it unripe
And when my mother was decrease her potassium I didn't choose that kind of banana but I choose the other banana that higher potassium than that ,I blend together with other vegetables and gve to her then she can walk..
What about eating a banana with some nut butter (I like cashew)? It helps to spread the sugar release, right?!
If I am not mistaken bandannas convert massively to sugar as they ripen ....my guess is an unripe banana compared to an overly ripe one are like two seperately animals...no?
Minions should watch this .
So, it's not as bad as grains like oatmeal? Oatmeal has fiber, protein, and slow digesting carbs. It's consistently used by dieters because it's easy to go 4 or 5 hours after a medium size bowl of oatmeal. Try going 4 or 5 hours after a couple bananas.
New subscriber ! love your videos, packed full of knowledge, thanks for sharing.
Hi Dr. Josh can u tell me do bananas give u cough and breathing issues??
1 single banana has 500 mg of banana
I chucked for 3 minutes after hearing that thank you hahahaha
I searched for bananas on youtube today because a I have a few banana trees in my yard that are about to give forth vast amounts of "apple bananas". They are smaller and they taste different and I am now wondering if they are very nutritionally different. Do you know? Are apple banana's better for you than cavandish?
ok thts a rong info ...i hve lost weight by eating banana smoothies 😥😥😥😥
dragon lady What do you put in your smoothie?
Your spelled wrong wrong. Hahaha. Don't use bad grammar and/or spelling when criticizing some one for being wrong. Lol.
As have I
Dr Axe has a big banana. I want 🤣
I don't doubt that you could put on weight by massively overeating these, but it is highly unlikely as they are so high in fibre and very filling. I eat a high carb whole foods plant based diet, with lots of fruit for breakfast, and it has been the key to keeping me slim and healthy.
me too. It works
I am eating today a banana everyday
i give my son a banana for breakfast before his school workout early morns when he says he cant eat breakfast so early like your channel short vids packed with knowledge and good ideas no blah blah
Thanks for your support!
My boy is only 3 years old,he like to eat banana everyday, and every after his lunch and dinner, will It be too much potassium and sugar for a kid?
Sometimes people crave bananas and avocados whent they are low in B1 or potassium. Sometimes the gut knows best and your mind is over managing. Even oxalates, which are high in avocados, I notice I can never over eat high oxalate foods, I just stop wanting them after having a certain amount.
Bananas are loaded with banana? You learn something new everyday...
If I have to give up bananas I am gonna go BANANAS.
Is the banana a good post workout fruit to eat? Thank you.
Yes,. It's great. if you watch professional tennis players, they will often have a banana during their rest stop.
I personally have begun to phase out bananas from my diet and consuming more avocados. A single avocado has double the potassium of a banana and you're getting the omega 3 fatty acids as well minus the sugar!
Watching this as I eat a banana, lol. Many keto and carnivore doctors think all fruit is evil. Talk about extreme polarization! Too much meat isn't healthy either. Never saw anyone get fat on bananas, by the way.
Are you telling me that banana makes me fat not true i eat bananas & im 42 kg
No bananas will not make you fat, but if you are trying hard to lose weight, I would advise to avoid them because they contain a lot of sugar. However I recommend a diet full of organic whole fruits and vegetables.
***** im 40 kg now and i will thank you :)
***** Do you know who Freelee the banana girl is? She has an ENORMOUS RUclips following and many people are losing weight on the banana diet!
Melly Moo she's turning more people diabetic everyday with her horrible health information. Yeah shes the best!
really? I don't believe you. Post a video of you testing your blood sugar after you eat those 12 bananas. I guarantee its not in a healthy range. There aint no flipping way youre eating 12 bananas and your blood sugar is in a healthy range after.
1 single banana has 500mg of... banana! hahaha. 1:29 someone make this a meme please
He caught himself so give it a rest. Lol... 1:58 with the headings is a better meme. He refers to the banana as a gram instead of oatmeal. Lol
Hi Dr. Axe, I've recently subscribed to your channel & I'm enjoying all your health information & recipes! I have a question, if you don't mind! Potatoes...are they healthy? I know sweet potatoes are packed full of health benefits, but what about the others: Idaho, russet, red, golden... It would we awesome if you did a video on potatoes! :)
Ugghhh. please do eat bananas unless you're allergic to them, like I am.
Natural fruit sugar is healthy according to a great many experts.Im not sure you accurate about the science of nutrition.
Why dont you go to phillpines and do research there u will see filipinos are healthy cause they eat banana a lot
Aren’t all bananas GMO?
Still don't get it is banana good for weight loss or not
But isn't natural sugar in fruit better handled by the body than man made sugars like glucose-fructose and white sugar? Do a video on how the body handles different sugars.
How many bananas for day if I train 4 days a week? I love smoothies with bananas and apples. And I drink this everyday, Thanks!
I would have a banana the days you train.
***** I eat bananas everyday, tons of them. 0-30 a day. slim, always
Every day mate. I train 3-4 times a week lifting heavy shit and i eat around 5-10 bananas a day. They are great for energy and weight loss too.
Love your channel. I watch your videos all the time while getting ready for the day. They have really helped me. I hope that one day my channel is as good as yours (fingers crossed).
If you concern insulin resistant, eat green banana or make smoothies with it adding kale lemon and berries.
too much of everything is Bad, even the protein or collagen powder ( that I just bought like 6 cans of them. i hope they work)
bottom line, should be taken in moderation
bananas are good
I really love your video's! So educational.
Aarika V Thanks for your support! I have new videos out every week on my RUclips channel!
Are noodles healthy? I'm a very skinny women and want to gain weight. Please reply! ^^
for god sakes its natural sugar people damn
ive lost body fat with bananas
Thanks Dr Axe you always sharing your knowledge, thanks because you explain very good you always showed you care for the people. God bless you
Negatives of eating bananas...absolutely none lmao
Most of this is simply not even true
The Cavendish Banana is actually *hybridized*. I'm not sure if it's GMO, but it was hybridized. It is also a Monoculture that is reproduced through cloning (instead of sexual reproduction).
Here's an article on the matter of our current Banana, the Cavendish, and how it is at risk of being killed off like the Gros Michel (the previous top Banana). There's speculation that we'll have to further hybridize the Cavendish to be immune to Panama Disease
www.economist.com/blogs/feastandfamine/2014/02/bananas
I only eat bananas that have sex, no clones for me I saw that movie.
I dont think that is an heirloom wild banana. They don't get that big in the wild. Probably hybridized.
I usually have a banana after a workout where the sugar is not minded so much.
If you or your viewers have trouble with ab exercises because of back or neck pain - visit us at the AbStand for a machine that works while you stand.
This dude is using a banana for energy before his run (CARBS), but claims carbs are bad! Ahahahaha!!! You're hilarious doc'. Go get some nutrition facts from dr. greger before spouting unscientific drivel.
You need to pay attention. He is healthy and active and uses it for fuel when runs. What he said is if you have sugar or weight issues, avoid them because of their glycerin index.
cathridge He is completely wrong about that. Studies have shown natural sugar (not refined, and still attached to phyto nutrients and fiber) has zero detrimental effects on diabetics. Which is why doctors reverse diabetes and heart disease with whole food plant based diets.
Can I eat oatmeal? I've been seeing these Overnight Oatmeal recipes lately.
Bananas are great. No one got fat by eating bananas. Just skip overconsuming calories if you want to lose weight.
Who else is eating a banana while watching this
What about organic vs non-organic bananas? My acupucturist advised me not to buy non-organic bananas because of the pesticides and the fumigation.
