Going over on sugar... with fruit?
I noticed that bananas and strawberries have lots of sugar. So does milk and juice which I thought were supposed to be good for you. I can't really avoid milk cause I need the calcium. I can't avoid fruits cause their good for you and have vitamin c. Is the sugar in fruit 'good sugar'?

I'm not sure what iron's used for, but I know vitamin a is for your eyes and skin, which is probably why my vision sucks and my skin easily gets dry and flaky in the cold. Any suggestions for foods with Vitamin A and Iron? Also, my sodium is always like…
