When do i eat fruit?

One of these days I will ask you if you need to eat fruits away from other foods- you know what I mean- the food combining thing?
Why wait? here is the answer. That's right: fruit contain sugar which stops protein digestion, so you have to wait at least one hour after a meal before having fruit.
Are they exceptions? of course, otherwise life would be too simple!
Pawpaw, pineapple, and berries being high in both acids and enzymes actually help digest protein. That is why you find pawpaw and pineapple in lots of Asian recipes containing pork. Really helps break it down.
