"negative calories" that you burn the calories why digesting it, pertaining chewing swallowing and evacuating. Negative calories shouldnt be taken in to literal.

Sugars in fruits are a healthier type of sugar that the body needs to provide immediate energy needs. While too much sugar is not healthy, the sugar found in fruits is not even the same type of sugar as found in other unhealthy snacks.

There are many types of sugar.

If all these foods were negative calories, humans would have died thousands of years ago. Hunter gatherer societies bases their diets on many fruits and veggies as well as berries and nuts. If "negative calories" were real these people would have starved to death. So no negative calories are a hoax, but some of the foods can be used to control your appetite with low calories but definitly not negative calories!

Sounds like my kind of foods! Eat and burn calories doing it.

And I tend to lean more in agreement with Michelle, though about the fruit

Sugar in fruits, yes. But so much better than the alternative snacks. I am all for snacking on veggies and proteins, but sometimes you just needs something a little sweet. So, I try to encourage my family to reach for fruit anytime they are wanting some thing sweet.

Everything in moderation, right?

Still, if you need a snack, which is usually sugar by definition, why not make it an apple instead of crackers?

I too thought the fruit inclusion into the negative calorie category was interesting.

A couple of those on the list make sense to me, but a bunch of them don't as well.

The negative calorie title is just referring to the worth of the food weighed against the amount of calories of digestion.

I see your point though- and even though these fruits may be low enough in calories to make the list, it doesn't mean they aren't high in sugar.
