How much sugar is in fruit!
Does anybody know which fruits have the least sugar content? Seems that all my favourities are the ones full of fruit sugars... I always manage to come in on target for calories, under for fat but I blow it on sugar everyday, so I'm trying to cut back on this. Thanks :happy:
