Too much sugar, from fruit..

I really want to know the answer to this also because I eat a lot of fruit all day.

I've been eating about 3-4 bananas a day, as well as apples, and oranges, which makes up around 90% of my daily sugar intake (which today was at 209g)

Should I really be concerned about the sugar that comes from fruit? I normally eat alot of fruit, especially bananas to help with my blood pressure.

Try to cut down on the bananas and use cinnamon to help with blood sugar. Though your body processes fructose from fruit differently than processed sugar, you can still over do it. look for herbal remedies if you are concerned about your blood pressure though =] hope this helps!

I actually wound up taking sugar off of my daily food diary because I got so sick of it being over. I watch my refined sugars because diabetes runs in my family, but I love fruit and eat at least 5 servings day so my sugar is always over. It drives me nuts. A lot of people think all sugar, even natural sugars, are bad for you, but I just can't get on board with anyone telling me that I can't eat fruit.

I think sugar in fruit is better than regular sugar, but to a diabetic, sugar is sugar, so I'm careful about it anyway. My Dad is diabetic and his doctor tells him that he can only have half a banana because there is too much sugar in it for him. I eat a hole banana, since I am not diabetic, but careful not to be since it runs in my family, and I know we should get 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day, which I am not very good at. So my answer would be not to discount sugar in fruit. Keep eating fruit, but do watch the sugar intake and try to keep it at a reasonable level. Everything in moderation.
