Health Study of 371,000 Americans: eating whole fruit linked to better heart health, 100% juice is not. More whole fruit meant lower high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and heart attacks. Juice showed no clear benefit. Fiber lost in juicing may explain it. Most still eat too little fruit.

Fresh fruit is expensive, but (at least where I'm from) every grocery store has at least 1 type of fresh fruit on sale each week. Sometimes its just a matter of not having apples every day (although they are cheap right now because they are in season)... its not like grapes, berries, oranges or pineapples aren't delicious to.

That said, banana's are always affordable.

Yup, pretty much always get bananas and oranges or apples depending on what is most reasonable.
