Good evening,

I would like to ask your opinion on the combination of fruit with dairy products, such as yogurt. This is often presented as a suitable breakfast/snack (accompanied by, for example, flakes and nuts). However, dairy products should not be combined with sources of sugar, is that right? And if this combination is not advantageous, where would you recommend including fruit? (I read somewhere that it is best to eat fruit on its own, but that seems nonsensical to me—high GI, poor macronutrient ratio,...).

Thank you very much for your response.

This combination is not problematic until the point when it starts causing any "issues" for a particular individual. Generally, a healthy individual can digest such a mixture without any complications, so it is unnecessary to restrict the diet just because the individual components might digest slightly better when consumed separately. In situations where a person suffers from digestive problems (dyspepsia, inflammation...), it is instead advantageous to consider and preventively avoid certain combinations, which may (but not necessarily) apply to dairy products with fruit.
