tangerines are better than strawberries

Oranges / tangerines Oranges contain no fat and contains 21g of carbohydrate (this is essential for your body)! As well as this oranges on average contain 2g of protein. This is double the content than a strawberry contains. As well as oranges being high in protein and carbohydrate, they also have no fat content. This means that you can enjoy the fruit without worrying that it will effect your diet. Oranges are generally available from winter through summer with seasonal variations depending on the variety. Arguably, the most important part of oranges, the herperidin has been shown to lower high blood pressure as well as cholesterol in animal studies, and to have strong anti-inflammatory properties. Consuming vitamin C supplements does not provide the same protective benefits as drinking a glass of orange juice, shows research by Italian researchers in the Division of Human Nutrition at the University of Milan, Italy. "Seven healthy test subjects were given each of three drinks, two weeks apart: blood-orange juice containing 150 milligrams of vitamin C, fortified water containing 150 milligrams of vitamin C, and a sugar and water solution containing no vitamin C. Blood samples were collected immediately before the drink was consumed, then every hour for 8 hours, and finally 24 hours after consumption of each drink. Blood samples were exposed to hydrogen peroxide, and free radical damage to DNA was evaluated at 3 and 24 hours. Only when orange juice was consumed was any protective effect seen. After drinking orange juice, DNA damage was 18% less after 3 hours, and 16% less after 24 hours. No protection against DNA damage was seen after consumption of the vitamin C fortified drink or the sugar drink." All of this confirms that tangerines / oranges are better than strawberries. Strawberries Strawberries have more fat (1g) in comparison to the 0% fat content in oranges. This may seem like a small amount however strawberries are very rarely eaten in small quantity so the calories will add up. There is almost half the carbohydrate content compared to the orange. The protein content is also 50% less than the orange. A strawberry on average contains 8g of sugar - which again can add up to a lot of sugar! These sweet berries aren't just loaded with antioxidants: A new report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) found that a single sample of strawberries contained 13 different pesticides. "Growers of non-organic strawberries in California"where nearly 90% of the nation's strawberries are produced"continue to pump hazardous substances into fields." Result The conclusion that we come to after analyzing both strawberries and oranges is that oranges are healthier in terms of providing more carbohydrate content and protein content. Despite strawberries containing higher vitamin c content - is it really worth the risk of being poisoned? It was only in late 2012 that the Environmental Protection Agency stopped the use of cancer-causing strawberry pesticide "methyl iodide". Therefore oranges / tangerines are better than strawberries. I look forward to my opponent's contradictions and new arguments.
