Answers:
It may sound hard to believe, but there are few sources to give you that answer in the form of a neat table. The reason is that the sugar content varies by species of the same fruit and by the growth of the fruit, and how long since it was picked. But basically, any fruit TASTES sweet because it IS sweet -and that means is has sugar in it. And, as you may have noticed, the longer those peaches sit on the counter, the sweeter they get -as they approach fermentation stage.
Let's not get into discussions about "natural" versus "manufactured" sugar. I'm talking about C12, H22, O11 here -sugar! Doesn't matter if it comes from a hive or a bag -your body and your diabetic disposition don't care.
For what its worth, here's a chart covering "common foods" and listing sugar content among other things.
Don't forget -it is not just about sugar -but more essentially about carbohydrates -of which sugare is one. Get the whole story at:
