    If it comes from fruit ignore it - if it comes from cake and poptarts then watch it.

    There is a sensor in your stomach that detects if its poptart sugar
    If its poptart sugar you'll become obese

    Sorry but this is the wrong advice.

    All sugars will make you obese if you eat enough yes fruit is natural sugar but after so much your body will see it as just sugar and start storing it they why it is recommended you only have 5 portions of fruit a day.

    Unless you have a medical reason to watch your sugar, you can probably ignore this. The sugar value provided by MFP is based on the recommendations for added sugar, and does not take into account naturally occuring sugar (this is why so many people are suggesting that you ignore the sugar in fruit). There is no agreed upon recommendation for total sugar for a normal, healthy person, so don't worry about it.
