Two or more daily servings from this list of all fruits has been shown to reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer of the colon-rectum, stomach and mouth.
And yet 54% of the population gets absolutely NO daily servings from a list of all fruits, much less the two or more highly recommended healthy varieties from this fruit list.
Alphabetical List of All Types of Fruits
The following alphabetical fruit list has important fruit facts arranged in order.
For example, in the list of all fruits, if a fruit has a particularly high level of carotenoids and a moderate level of vitamin C, the higher nutrient found in the fruit (carotenoids) will be listed before the nutrient that's only found in moderation (vitamin C).
Any concerns are in parenthesis. For instance, if the fruit has a high glycemic index rating, which might negatively affect blood sugar levels, you'll see (glycemic).
And if preservatives, such as sulfites, are commonly used on a conventionally grown fruit or if it's highly sprayed or waxed, you'll see (preservatives), (pesticides) or (wax coating). In that case, it's important to buy organically grown varieties of that particular fruit.
