Hi frannie,

I have never heard this in regard to food combining and durian. I'll be interested to hear if Dr. Graham has anything to say about it upon his return from Costa Rica (not sure exactly when that will be).

That said, I've never tried durian because I can not procure it fresh here in the U.S.

Here is what Dr. Graham has to say about that 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
