    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.

    Sugar is not even remotely the same thing as cocaine.

    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 gust 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...

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