Fruits are good for you .. or are they?

We have just done the shopping for the following and this is the picture of our supply of fruit for the next seven days. We are two adults and a child under ten. Seems a lot, dont it? I am so glad we have large variety of fruits to choose from in the shops of Manchester, as you can see there are some mangoes, chinese pears and mandarin oranges in that pile. We have made it a habit to munch on a fruit when we have cravings for sweets and I personally find that sweet seedless grapes is the best substitute.

You'd think that eating all these fruits cannot do anything but good to your health wouldnt you. Well, as I have found out in the last few years, it does have a major health consequence..... your dental health. Consuming so much acid and not immediately brushing your teeth afterwards can have similar effects as eating sweets. My dental bills have gone up as a result and have lost a tooth, and possibly another in the next few weeks. So be warned..... be careful if you intend to go on a high fruit diet!
