minus-squareHawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·5 months agoOranges do not naturally have that much sugar.
minus-squareShowroom7561@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·5 months agoIt’s not the sugar, but the acid that our teeth can’t handle. The fact that healthy foods can’t be consumed without a risk of harm is not an intelligent design. I mean, even apples (i.e. “Garden of Eden”) can promote the growth of plaque!

minus-squareFushuan [he/him]@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·5 months agoYou are right, it’s just that in Spanish a “pomelo” is a grapefruit, and I was unaware of the whole rabbit hole that is the hybridwtion of the pomelo, mandarin, citrus and all that. I deleted my old comment because I was just confused.
minus-squareHawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 months agoNo worries, I don’t know all the details and looking more deeply, it looks to be more complicated than I was remembering too.
