Transcript excerpt
Just found out you can't put bananas in your smoothie because apparently there's an enzyme in the banana that breaks down all the nutritional value of the berries. So it's as if you're not even having the berries. You're getting none of it if there's a banana in there. I'm so sorry. Where exactly is the nutritional value going? What does that even mean? There's one small study in eight people that found banana containing smoothies reduce the absorption of certain flavonols from berries after ingestion. Flavonols are just one type of antioxidants in berries that contain many different nutrients and beneficial compounds. Guys, this kind of stuff is happening because wellness gurus who want to help you optimize your health only have so much they can say. Rank you, doctor Koonerich, for clearing things up. I'm now going to go back to enjoying my banana berry smoothie.
