What's the consensus about sugar from fruits and berries? Are they just as bad as added sugar?

Maybe

The sugar itself is as bad as added sugar. But it is good to eat fruits/berries because of the other components like vitamins, flavonoids, etc

>>35659932
What does that even mean?
>>35659923
No. They have fiber which slows absorption, so it's not like you're eating a spoonful of table sugar. They also have dem micronutrients that are super important.

This.
The body will process any simple sugar the same. It'll all be turned into glucose just as would regular sugar. This is why doctors in Canada now warn about foods high on the glycemic index, and that too many of them cause insulin resistance. Even Scoobs talks about this with orange juice, etc.

So eating, say, a cup of berries a day would be like eating tasty multivitamin?

>>35659972
Youre wrong.
>>35659964
You're right
>>35659982
No. multivatimins cant substitue for real food. Thats why they call it a supplement not a replacement.
>>35659949
maybe.

I meant in as they are beneficial if not over-consumed
>>35659982
Maybe

Ive seen this point thrown out there quite a bit and ive also seen people say that its bull ie >>35660018
What I do know and what I think is probably the the more important point is the ratios involved.
A bag of M&Ms (about 50g) contains 30g of sugar.
In order to get that much sugar from sliced up strawberries youd have to eat 3 cups (622g).
Not to mention all the other good shit in strawberries that youd ingest at the same time.
>>35659949
I think so.

They are the same sugar. However, fruits have more fiber which make its glycemic index lower. Also there are other nutrients in it.
Low-moderate consumption according to your calorie intake program should be okay.
I cannot believe how bad people are at basic nutrition. There are things called vitamins and minerals that you need in your diet. You don't get them from trix, you stupid faggots, do you know why?

>guaranteed doesn't know that sugars are carbohydrates
Yes, Anon. Eating is bad for you. Or something like that.
Fructose gives you energy and doesn't spike your glicemic índex and insuline that much, while shitty sugars go right to your belly.
Less calories, more nutrients, less glicemic spike, less insuline spike. Healthier in general.
