POSTPONED: Bananas in Smoothies, Yes or No?

New date is scheduled Having a bit of trouble? [View this email in your browser](. [Forward this email to a friend](. Dear {NAME}, Unfortunately, I had to postpone the live Q&A originally scheduled for tomorrow, November 3. I'll now be doing the banana-themed presentation and Q&A on November 17. You may have heard about a new study suggesting that an enzyme in bananas called polyphenol oxidase—the enzyme that turns bananas brown—can destroy a class of nutrients found in foods like berries. So, should you stop putting bananas in your smoothies? Is there anything we can add to the smoothie to counter the banana enzyme’s effects? Is it just a smoothie thing? What about eating a banana with meals? And what about other fruits and vegetables that turn brown that also have this enzyme, like white potatoes, avocados, and white mushrooms? Is the enzyme destroyed by cooking? Get the answers to all these questions and more by tuning in to my live presentation and Q&A.
