Sugar in food and drinks comes in various forms. Sugar molecules
are classified as monosaccharides (single sugar molecules such as
glucose and fructose) and disaccharides (more complex structures such as
sucrose and lactose).
Fruit contains natural sugars, which are a mix of sucrose,
fructose and glucose. Many people have heard that sugar is bad, and
think that this must also therefore apply to fruits.
But fructose is only harmful in excess amounts,
and not when it comes from fruit. It would be incredibly difficult to
consume excessive amounts of fructose by eating whole fruits.
