Is Sugar Found in Fruit Good or Bad for Your Health?<\/h2>\n

Nutrition can be a fickle beast. With countless fitness bloggers, nutrition gurus and exercise experts out there on the web, it can be difficult to decipher what foods will benefit your body and what foods will do more damage than good. Let us make it simple for you: think back to your younger years; to the years filled with nap times, gold stars and crayons. Now picture yourself spilling out those crayons to create a masterpiece in your art class. What if the box was entirely black and white crayons instead of a wide array of dazzling tones? That wouldn\u2019t create a very pretty picture at all.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The same can be said about nutrition: it cannot be viewed in terms of black and white. A commonly held misconception is that all sugar is bad sugar. There is also a misconception that the sugars found in fruit are just as damaging as those found in sweets or in table salt. This simply is untrue. Let\u2019s explore more about the truth about sugar.<\/p>\n

What is Sugar, Really?<\/h3>\n

Sugar is a\u00a0carbohydrate<\/a>\u00a0that can be either naturally occurring or refined. A\u00a0wide variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, nuts and even milk contain naturally occurring sugars. On the other hand, we have refined sugar, or sucrose.\u00a0\u201cTable sugar\u201d found on the shelves of your local grocery is composed of sugar (sucrose) and high fructose corn syrup, about half glucose and half fructose.<\/p>\n
