High sugar due to milk and fruit?

I'm always way over on sugar from milk and fruit.

Do you guys consider it a good sugar so that it doesn't count?

Or do you say sugar is sugar and I need to cut way down?

Just wondering

I disregard the naturally occuring sugar in fruit and milk. The other benefits outway the sugar in my opinion. I just watch the added sugar.

Entirely irrelevant. Sugar never harmed anyone.

The evidence suggests that a high-fat, high-energy diet, combined with inactive sedentary lifestyles, are the two principle factors increasing the risk of obesity. A combination of high-carbohydrate diets and regular physical activity can assist in the maintenance of an ideal body weight.

In other words, Sugar plays little to no part in weight management.

It is increasingly recognised that avoidance of obesity by controlling energy intake (especially saturated fats) while increasing physical activity levels, and increasing the consumption of a wide range of carbohydrate containing foods can help reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Most nutrition recommendations for diabetics permit reasonable intakes of sugar in the context of a healthy balanced diet.

In other words, being a fattie and having a genetic predisposition are the principal causes of diabetes. Not sugar.

There is good evidence that moderately low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets, rich in fruit and vegetables, reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and further benefits are attained by increasing physical activity levels. Sugar can make a low-fat diet more palatable.

In other words, Sugar can actually help maintain a "heath-healthy" diet.
