Technically, all it's ever referred to is as "fruit" or the "forbidden fruit"
- and it's the fruit of one very specific tree which only existed in the
Garden of Eden. So, arguably associating it with any fruit currently in
existence is a bit of a misnomer. So, it shouldn't have any effect on your
fruit dietary choices. ;)
