Can I eat fruit on an empty stomach?

PeachesQ: I found this interesting article about fruit on an empty stomach;I’m still puzzled as to the proper way to eat fruit.

A: This is another one of those wacko internet myths. The doctor quoted in this article is correct that there is no problem and fruit can be eaten any time.

The myth originated with a chef from Singapore, Devagi Sanmugam. She describes herself (on her web site) as “one of Singapore’s most dynamic and talented food personalities.” She has appeared on her own and numerous television programs, and while she may be a dynamic and talented chef, her essay about fruit is (in my opinion) just a load of bunk.
