I'm still slightly unsure whether I should be worrying about the sugar from my fruit and veg (this is non processed and a lot of the time eaten raw) I don't feel any negative side effects physically but I don't want it to be doing my body any harm.
Dont obsess with sugar unless you have a medical reason to, fruit adds a lot to diet including good Fibre in edition to many vitamins and water.
Also processed fruit juice is worse than eating a fruit, because the fruit in fiber helps to stabilize the blood sugar levels.0 -

you sure it wasn't all the other calories you ate?1 -
But fine, eat 20 apples a day and you can get fat from it. Eat a massive amount of almost anything and you can get fat from it. 3-4 fruits a day is healthy and the sugar in them is nothing to worry about, that is the point.0

You'd have to eat a fair bit of fruit to put on weight... You'd have to eat probably 40 apples a day or dangerous levels of bananas if that's all you are eating.1

Well of course it was due to my total daily caloric intake, but I was drinking 1.5L of fruit smoothies/day during that time. The rest of my diet hadn't changed - moderately sized meals consisting mostly of Whole Foods. And those smoothie calories added a lot to my daily intake.
The point being: if you consume so much fruit (or anything else for that matter) that you go over maintenance, you'll gain weight. In my case, those smoothies were the biggest contributor. And no, I didn't make them with frozen yogurt or ice cream as a base.1 -
I overate whole foods especially fruit. I hadn't realized you can't eat the whole box of persimmons and wonder why I was struggling with weight loss. Have you ever tried a fuyu persimmon? I betcha you can't just t eat one.

Mine was definitely due to mangos and bananas, but I do love me some persimmons. My grandparents have a persimmon tree in their backyard. So good...0 -

My friend has a tree too but I do have to be careful. They are the debil!1 -
A comparison would be eating coco leaves. It may help with a toothache, but you aren't going to get chemically dependent on chewing/eating leaves. It is only when you process it to concentrate the cocaine alkaloid (removing over 99% of the other constituents) that you get the drug that can kill you. "Added sugar" is typically the same deal. Even maple syrup is concentrated by evaporating 95%+ of the original volume before straining.

I eat a lot of fruit and veggies that have sugar. I even eat yogurt and honey every night. I think unless you have goals such as a figure competition. you're one of those keto people or you have a medical reason, there is no reason to cut out fruit. Maybe don't eat it all day, but a few pieces of fruit a day can't be bad for a healthy person. This shouldn't even be a question.
Funny how we go from eating whatever we want that is totally unhealthy to looking at an apple and questioning it's intentions.1 -

Sugar is not even remotely the same thing as cocaine.3 -

Never knew what a persimmon was until I met my husband. He LOVED those seasonal persimmons and persimmon cookies!1
