When my clients tell me that they are worried about the sugar in fruit, I hear an underlying assumption that fruit is the same as a refined carbohydrate. But that’s not true. All fruit has fiber, unless you juice them. This makes fruit a complex carbohydrate. Fiber slows down the absorption of carbohydrate from the fruit and decreases the impact on blood sugar.
