Power Fruits for Colon Health: 4 Picks from a Gastroenterologist

A gastroenterologist notes that while no single fruit prevents colon cancer, a diverse, high-fiber, plant‑based diet including whole fruits may help reduce risk. The four fruits highlighted for colon health are berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries) for their fiber and polyphenols; apples with skin for fiber and beneficial compounds; citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruits, lemons) for fiber, vitamin C, and flavonoids; and pears for fiber. Regularly consuming several servings of these fruits as part of a fiber‑rich diet may support gut health and potentially lower colorectal cancer risk, though more research is needed.

Mandarins vs. Oranges: Key Differences in Taste, Size and Nutrition

Mandarins and oranges are both citrus fruits but belong to different groups: mandarins are smaller with loose, easy-to-peel skins and a sweeter, milder flavor, while oranges are larger with thicker peels and a more balanced sweet-tart taste. Nutritionally, mandarins pack more vitamin A and carotenoids, whereas oranges have more vitamin C and slightly higher fiber; both supply vitamin C, potassium and fiber, plus flavonoids that support health. Be mindful of added sugars in some prepackaged mandarins, and note that citrus can trigger reflux or interact with certain medications, so a varied, moderate intake is best.

"Beware: Sun-Induced Margarita Rashes from Certain Foods"

A skin condition called photocontact dermatitis, or 'margarita burn', can be triggered by foods such as citrus, figs, celery, parsley, parsnip, carrots, beans, and yarrow due to the organic molecule furanocoumarin. This reaction occurs when the skin comes into contact with these foods and is then exposed to sunlight, causing an itchy, red rash. Other triggers include some medical creams and fragrances in sunscreen. Dr. Brandon Adler warns of an increase in cases, advising affected individuals to wash the skin and avoid sun exposure, with most rashes resolving without medication.
