You also realize that fruits also contain suger, right?

Right but fruits, especially berries, contain phytonutrients that, according to the literature I've read, have been found to fight cancer and other diseases. I've been on a restricted carb/sugar diet for years but I still consume at least one cup of blackberries or blueberries at least 3-4 times per week. Plus the berries have fiber which mitigates the effect that the natural sugar in the fruit would have on blood sugar levels.

Berries have the lowest carbs of all fruits.
