I would also think that processed sugars would be bad for you, natural sugars that are found in fruit shouldn't be too bad.
While that is generally, literally, true, most people misinterpret it. Natural sugars, like found in fruit, shouldn't be too bad for you. Or, put another way, they are self-limiting. Most people aren't going to go out and eat 2lbs of oranges in a sitting.
Processed sugars are bad for you. Guess what? When you take 2lbs of oranges and squeeze out only the juice, giving you about 8oz of juice, *THAT IS PROCESSED*, and will be bad for you.0
