 Testosterone Nation - The Forbidden Fruit?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Although all fruits have a relatively low glycemic effect, some vary rather significantly in their GI, probably because of the fructose:glucose ratio and the amount of fiber contained within the fruit.
The fruits labeled for use after 6pm, or after a workout, generally have a higher GI (around 70 or more) in order to rapidly restore glycogen levels and induce a state of sleepiness.
Fruits have a low glycemic index and produce a small insulin response - this makes them an excellent carb choice at any time of the day (unless large amounts of fat are being consumed and you are a strict P+C or P+F guy).

Retail, wholesale and organic, are each a different market in their own right, and unlike most other supermarkets and shops I made the effort to get exactly what the customer was chasing and this meant a very complex way of life in regard to stock control and management.

And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die'” — Genesis 3:2-3.
Unfortunately the area of self in Eve’s life was challenged; for the first time in her existence she sensed a restraint and Eve’s personal sovereignty was now coming under scrutiny.
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate.

 Towards The Identity Of The Forbidden Fruit: According To Tradition
If we are dealing with a fruit capable of fermentation, it is not surprising that the apparently heightened prophetic insights which have often been claimed by priests under the influence of alcohol might soon transform something that was actually a poison into an ambrosia of the gods.
One wonders whether such fruit juices were not originally drunk simply because they were sweet and pleasant to the taste, and that their intoxicating character after fermentation was an accidental discovery.
Two facts seem to stand out: the fruit of some kind of tree was involved and the extract of the fruit was an intoxicant, a poison; whether it was some form of alcohol or not is a moot point, but it is a not unreasonable surmise.

It may be that the fruit received its name from the Latin malus "evil," and malum "apple," a close sound alike.
It should be noted that the story does not tell us that the woman tried to tempt the man. She simply gave him some of the fruit and he chose to eat it.
