Hi br,

Dr. Graham addresses this in The 80-10-10- Diet:

"Eaten infrequently, durian will create a slight blip on your fat radar screen for a day or two . . . Nothing to be concerned about. As an occasional indulgence, you could do a lot worse. In higher volume, I would be more concerned with lack of freshness [imported frozen, and thus not fresh] and chemical contamination [sadly, the durian supply is notorious for its heavy treatment with unnecessary agrochemicals] than I would be with the fat content of this sweet treat. If you want truly fresh, safe durian, travel to an exotic location and find a farmer who is willing to share his or her cultivation practices in detail." p. 139
