Researchers have found that the enzyme polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in certain fruits like bananas can reduce the absorption of heart-healthy flavanols, especially when combined with flavanol-rich ingredients like berries. The study suggests choosing ingredients with low PPO activity, such as pineapple or oranges, when making smoothies to optimize flavanol absorption.

    Yeah. I feel like somebody read enough to come up with a clickbait article but not enough to learn anything.

    Sort of like when sci-fi writers have a very surface understanding of something, but it’s forgivable because they’re sort of close and it’s good for the story. Except here it’s just an article nobody really needed.
