Is Fruit Unhealthy?!
Question: I know that fruit is supposedly good for you, and that the body needs it, but i found that alot of fruit has ALOT of sugar.
Now is it good sugar? and even if it is, isnt it just as bad for you as the processed sugar? because i heard that the body cant tell if the sugar is natural (fruit) or man-made (cookies, etc.)
So is too much fruit unhealthy? and can someone gain weight from the sugar they eat from the fruit?

i think that too much of anything can be bad for you. fruit has barely enough sugar to get you fat. there is more sugar in a ceral bar than there is in 5 apples. and since most fruit is a natural laxitive, most likely many people don't eat ALOT of it. and if you were, be sure to balance it out with other things. like vegtables and whole grains. fruit has sugar, but not enough to make you fat. unlike candy and soda, you can have a ton of it each day and just get fat. but with fruit a ton of it will fullfill your dietary needs, or too much will have you throwing up or running to the bathroom depending on the weaness or strongness of your digestive system. but everything in moderation is my advice. don't go on a all fruit diet or anything eat what you want. but in small amounts.
The sugar that comes from fruit is called fructose. It's not bad for you, so don't worry.
Eat more fruit and fewer cookies. Cookies don't grow on trees now do they. Cookies are made by people who want you to buy MORE cookies, so they make them as addictive as possible. FAT, SUGAR, SALT, all the things that people crave.
fruit has a lot of its natural sugars..there is nothing bad from these types of sugars and fruit can't really make you fat since they don't have a lot of calories..an apple i think has like 70 or something...and fruits have a LOT of vitamins that are needed in the body..so..eat all the fruit that you want
Your body burns fruit sugar in a more efficient way than bad sugars. Planet earth is covered with water for 70%. The human body consists of 80% of water. So what should humans eat: food that contains 80% water. Fruit is 80% water on average.
The energy fruit contains is in the form of sugars (glucose). Your body can easily turn this glucose into energy by using oxygen. When the body burns the sugars with the help of oxygen there are waste products produced.
The waste products of this chemical reaction are water and carbon-dioxide. Your body can use the water and disposes of the carbon-dioxide through the lungs by breathing.
It is a very quick, clean and easy way to extract energy.
Your body does an excellent job: it extracts 50% of the energy. A combustion engine about 10 to 20%, the rest is lost through heat.
No fruit is not unhealthy because on top of the good sugar it has vitamins and nutrients that help ur body. Processed sugar (ie cookies, candy,etc....) is bad for you because it has preservatives like aspartame and phenylnol which cause cancer. If you eat a lot of fruit it is very healthy because that means u have a whole lot of Vitamin C, Folic Acid, as well as fiber. The fiber from the fruit helps regulate the digestive process thus getting rid of any toxins that may have been in your body from eating the processed sugars. I hope this helps answering your question
Antioxidants, Vitamins, Fiber = Good
Sugar = Bad
Solution -> eat two small pieces (or 1/2 of one large piece) of fruit everyday.
Eat all the fruits that you want they are healthy
