However, they can be a healthy addition to a weight loss diet. Cherries have a high fiber content which has been linked to weight loss in various studies. The satiating effects of fiber helps you stay full for longer which will ultimately prevent overeating (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jn\/article\/149\/10\/1742\/5512578\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other properties that make them good for weight management include the low calories in cherries and a low glycemic index.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we\u2019ve looked at cherries nutrition facts and benefits it\u2019s time we considered it\u2019s other side &#8211;\u00a0 if it has one.

They are, however, a particularly high-FODMAP fruit, which is something to be aware of if you are on a low FODMAP diet. Individuals with Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can be sensitive to cherries because of their fructose and sorbitol content (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monashfodmap.com\/about-fodmap-and-ibs\/high-and-low-fodmap-foods\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, if you\u2019re a dog person, it may be best if you keep them away from cherries. While the flesh is considered safe for them, the pits contain cyanide that can be poisonous in large quantities (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.akc.org\/expert-advice\/nutrition\/can-dogs-have-cherries\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, cherry pits and stems pose a choking hazard for both children and adults.
