I’ve been told that natural sugars in fruit should be minimized but is it really that bad?
I don’t really know.
Its worse to drink apple juice than to eat an apple. The sugar in the apple juice goes straight to the liver where it does damage.
However, the sugar in an apple is embedded in fiber which has to be broken down. Much of that breakdown does not happen until the large intestine and bowels. The bugs there eat up the sugar and turn it into beneficial chemicals.
I think that’s the process but I’m not sure.
An apple can have 30 grams of sugar. Which is a lot. How much of that goes to the liver and how much to the bugs...I don’t know.
