Dr Soh: Contrary to belief, durians contain no cholesterol. The fats which are found in durians are monounsaturated fats and these may help to lower an individual’s LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Ms Chia: Durian is a fruit that has a ‘bad’ name. It is a myth that durian increases cholesterol levels as it does not contain cholesterol and limited saturated fat. When looking to reduce cholesterols levels, other parts of our diet that contributes more fat, cholesterol and calories should be first assessed.

The fruit is heaty and can cause coughs and even fever if you overindulge.

A PSALM OF DAVID

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2     He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3     he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

Psalm 23
