    Wow..Thanks for the tip on what is low and what is high in the fruit we eat. I will remember that. I do love rasberries and blackberries. Blueberries sometimes and peaches and watermelon. I will be more careful with this.

    Yup ... think this is prob true, at least for me. The last time I went onto WW - was with their new points plus ... and all fruits and vegies were 0 points and 'free' ... I think I prob over did it - yes I know moderation is key - however I could not lose weight like I had on WW a few years earlier, hence I found and joined mfp ... which seems to be working. And have also gotten lots of support from the 'mfp family'! Thanks to all!:flowerforyou:

    a calorie from a french fry = a calorie from an apple.

    not exactly; i mean, yes as far as a calorie goes, but no as far as nutrition and body performance goes. it's not all about calories.
    French fry = potato, potato = tons of nutrition.

    No it's not, it's molecularly identical.

    but it's paired with fiber and water and delivers micronutrients unlike other sweets. some are better than others, as the OP noted.

    i cook in peanut oil, too. it's great for making falafel.

    Fiber and vitamins make fruit healthier than a Twinkie, but that has nothing to do with the sugar. The sugar is the same in both of them. If you meet your nutritional goals already, then neither one is "better" than the other.

    Right, because that's exactly what I said. If you don't understand the conversation, just don't comment on it.

    Guess I'm in trouble...............I've eaten an apple, a pear, a banana and grapes today.

    It's crap like this that confuses the **** out of people. If you stay in calorie deficit and aren't diabetic, fruit is fine.

    I'm a raw vegan, I eat mostly fruit, some vegetables, nuts, and seeds. So far I've lost 26 pounds in less than a month.

    Debunking misinformation by supplying facts isn't looking for a fight. Saying that fruit sugar is different from refined sugar is wrong. Source doesn't matter, total caloric intake matters. A diabetic can put themselves into a sugar coma just as fast with oranges as they can with M&M's, and if they read on here that fruit sugar is ok, and they don't know any better, that could have disastrous results.

    Also, logical fallacies are my biggest pet peeve.

    Obvi, a diabetic will be working with a doctor and a nutritionist to figure out what is safe to eat. They aren't just given a diagnosis and shoved out the door.

    And, sugar in fruit is different than sugar in a candy bar.

    of course too much fruit can hinder weight loss, too much of any food can
    that's what too much means

    Sugar in fruit = glucose, sucrose, and fructose. Sugar in a candy bar = glucose, sucrose, and fructose. THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME.
