re: How bad is fruit?

I read they have a lot more sugar than most fruit. I had a bad habit for a while of waking up at night craving sweets and would eat and apple, pineapple, or an Orange then go back to sleep. I realize taking that amount of sugar in then sleeping wasn’t a great idea.

Look at the glycemic index for each fruit. Your body reacts differently to refined sugars, which are often found in desserts than it does fruit.

It's all about how it effects your blood sugar/insulin levels. The lower the number the less effect on your blood sugar.
