Answer
Dear Carol,
I'm so glad you found some fresh and healthy fruit that's affordable and that you like!

The question about "how much is too much" comes up often.  There are a few reasons you can eat "too much" fruit:
1. If it makes you uncomfortable because of the high amount of fiber (intestinal bloating or diarrhea would be symptoms)
2. If you end up taking in excessive calories from, say more than 5 or 6 servings of fruit or juice, or
3. If you start eating fruit to the exclusion of other foods and end up depriving your diet of protein or calcium, for instance, because you eat so much fruit you don't have room for eating other nutritious foods.

The recommendations are for 9-12 servings a day of fruits and vegetables, so it's quite difficult to get more than this in for most people!
