I had a sweet tooth as a kid. I treat candy and ice cream like a drug addict does. It can't be in the house, I won't even let myself have some on special occasions. There is a circuit in my brain completely broken by this; evil.
Sweetness is more rewarding for rats than cocaine. [1]

In humans, sugar withdrawal symptoms are comparable to those of opiods withdrawal, often lasting much (up to 10 times) longer.
The dietitians I trust document their dietary advice week after week by curing various ailments and diseases through scientific treatments (and they never recommend specific products): https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/die-ernaehrungsdocs/r...
Another one is brussels sprouts. They used to be a lot more bitter, but that has been largely bred out. It has made them way more popular, but part of me wishes it had not changed.
I wonder what they will come up with after cavendish fails?
Is there any food that won't make you fat if you overeat them? Generally "overeating" is what makes you fat.
But as a practical matter, getting enough calories from granny smith apples to get fat is not feasible. On the other hand, you might have a shot if you developed a hankering for honeycrisps. More sugar, less fiber, way less protein.
Color has little bearing on nutrition, but I assume you mean "granny smiths" here which renders your comment understandable.
Sure, that's exactly what Big Apple wants you to believe.
> On the other hand, you might have a shot if you developed a hankering for honeycrisps. More sugar, less fiber, way less protein.
This seems equally ridiculous to me—who wants to eat more than two honeycrisps in a sitting? And that's seriously pushing it, especially compared to basically any other sugary food (including, say, juice and rice). At least use "apple pie" to make this believable.
Grapefruit knocks out key metabolizing agents in the gut that is responsible for breaking down a lot of organic molecules. For this reason, the vast majority of medications are given out in relatively large dosages in order to survive the intestines and get to the bloodstream. But if you eat grapefruit, you get that full dosage in your blood.
For some medication that doesn’t matter. Usually for prescription meds that is the exception. For most prescription meds, getting 5X the blood dose can range from debilitating to lethal.
If you take a daily pill, imagine what might happen if you swallowed a week’s worth at once. If that gives you pause, don’t mix with grapefruit.
