00:00 Does fruit cause inflammation? I'm a dietitian, let me explain.
00:04 Some people connect fruit to inflammation because it contains sugar. And while the sugar in an apple
00:09 and a spoonful of granulated sugar both break down to glucose in your body, we digest them a little
00:14 differently. Fruits have water and fiber, which slow down how quickly their sugar is broken down.
00:19 This impacts your blood sugar less than added sugar, which we burn through really fast. Fruits
00:24 are also loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that actually reduce inflammation
00:28 in the body. So if you want to eat to lower inflammation, fruit can help your cause.
