The problem with bananas is the sugar content. An average banana weighs 100 to 130 g. 100g contain 17g fruit sugar. That is one of the highest levels in fruits.

Well he's advocating raw honey. Advocating Xylitol, Stevia, Maltitol and other sugar alcohols and Dextrose.

Honestly and truly 1 banana a day isn't going to harm you especially if it's consumed in a smoothie with other ingredients that include something like coconut oil and some whey protein.(as well as some other things.)

Bingo... there's a healthy banana.

If you eat them a bit on the green side vs very ripe, the sugar content should be lower I would think..
I've read that a bit green is healthier overall... don't have time to search for facts or links right now though..


For any food , how you cook it makes a big difference too in the health factors..

steam, boiled , baked vs fried, coated with butter or sauces...
Or microwaved - various thoughts on the good and bad of it.. electro magnetic fields - I was just reading about that EMF stuff again.. I still use our Microwave but move away 10' or so as often as I can when using it..

And seasonings too, the seasoning mixtures and pre made sauces & soups, so many of them have MSG in them.. yuck..

There are many who are not concerned about the sugar content of fruits and vegetables. From what I have found, there is little science that speaks against sugar content when the fruit is consumed whole. The various anti-inflammatory diets were all over the map regarding fruits. Most of us have enough foods to be wary of without having to worry about naturally sweet fruits. Just don't gorge out on sweet fruit.

As Jo*mar said, things like MSG are far worse. Even the natural sugar alternatives have drawbacks.
