Should sugar from fruits be considered equal to processed sugar? Thanks for your help.

fructose =/= saccharose, therefore the answer is NO

The answer is YES for calories, whilst plain old granulated sugar is obvious calorie gain, do not ignore fruit sugars, they are all the same once on your hips

Obviously eating an apple is better for your health, teeth &weight than eating a bar of chocolate, the sugars are the same in the end and should not be ignored

From a calorie standpoint, yes.

From a nutrition standpoint, no.

As long as most of your sugars are coming from whole foods (fruit, vegetables, milk, etc.) don't worry about it too much. Stay within your total calorie limit and you'll be fine.

From a calorie standpoint, yes.

From a nutrition standpoint, no.

however, at the end of the day, sugar is sugar and it doesnt discriminate!
