Fruit sugar is real sugar. there is no difference between natural and un-natural sugar as far as your body is concerned. Fruits contain a combination of many kinds of sugar, including fructose, but also sucrose. Some fruits are very high in sucrose.
If sugar doesn't bother you, great! eat all the fruit you want. If you are diabetic or insulin resistant, fruit sugar matters, and you should count it.
I limit fruit, especially high sugar fruit, and try to eat protein with any fruit that I eat to slow its digestion. Limiting sugar is not just for Diabetics and Insulin Intolerant, I strongly believe that it will help prevent Diabetes. This and preventing heart disease are the basis of the South Beach plan--to avoid spikes in your blood sugar.0
