There was a 21-year-old man in the Mainland who thought it was troublesome to prepare dinner, so he ate fruit instead of dinner.

According to internal media reports, Xiaomao (pseudonym), a 21-year-old man in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, usually has brunch and lunch at the company due to work. He lives alone and is too lazy to cook dinner when he goes home. He even thinks that “two bananas can be worth a meal.” “Hami melon can both quench thirst and replenish energy.” So he simply ate fruits with high sugar content such as bananas and cantaloupe for dinner. As a result, he developed symptoms of dizziness, dry mouth, and nausea, and eventually needed to seek treatment at the emergency room of a local hospital.
Xiaomao was examined and found that his blood sugar level was as high as 79.98 mol/l, more than 10 times higher than normal. The pH value of his blood also dropped to 7.05, showing severe acidity. The doctor determined that Xiao Mao was suffering from diabetic ketoacidosis and immediately sent him to the intensive care unit for further treatment. Three days later, Xiao Mao’s condition gradually stabilized and he was transferred back to the general ward to continue receiving treatment.
According to the Center for Food Safety, the fruit with the highest sugar content is lychee, containing 15.23 grams of sugar per 100 grams. As for bananas, they actually contain 12.23 grams of sugar per 100 grams. Special attention should be paid to canned fruits, which generally have higher sugar content than fresh fruits. For example, canned peaches contain 17.63 grams of sugar per 100 grams.
Registered nutritionist Chen Yuyi pointed out that 244 grams of banana has 88 calories, which is equivalent to one-third of a bowl of white rice; 151 grams of raisins and 180 grams of kiwi contain 104 calories and 110 calories respectively; common oranges (calculated as 185 grams) and Apples (based on 110 grams) also have 85 calories and 53 calories respectively.
The WHO recommends a minimum daily intake of 400 grams of fruits and vegetables, which can help prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity-related health problems. Chen Yuyi said that 400 grams of fruits and vegetables is about 3 parts of vegetables and 2 parts of fruits. The simpler method is to curl your hands into a nest shape and hold a Ghana apple as one part, and a Fuji apple larger than one hand as two parts; One banana equals two servings of fruit, which makes the calculation much easier.
