I've just spoken to an old guy in Waitrose cafe. He looked no more than 75 but insisted that he was 92. His daughter came along and told me that he was in fact 92. He told me that he owned a fruit shop for 40 years and had always eaten bananas that he couldn't sell (too ripe) and snacked on grapes whenever he passed the grape stand. He had always done it. He was convinced that it was the secret to being so fit and active AND 92. I asked him if he had ever been ill and he said that he had had measles in 1916 when he was 2 and had had perfect health since! I'm going to try this - what do you think? Good idea or just coincidence?

Well, personally I think it's just fruit in general. There is nothing unique about those two fruits. Red grapes do contain antioxidants but blueberries and raspberries are a much better source.

Well fruit is very good for you so it probably was true, i think that you dont HAVEto stick to ripe banannas and grapes tho, you could vary it like try a kiwi or somthing, well good luck.
just wanted to say i think the government has been saying this for ages now tho havnt they..... well merry christmas anyhoo.

All fruit is good, but I have heard that bananas contain all the important nutrients and if you eat em regularly, you don't miss anything you need.
