They will not prevent an insulin spike. However, the spike will not be as great because fruits also contain fiber. Fiber helps slow the digestion of carbs and thus it's entry into the bloodstream. The antioxidants, vitamins and phytochemicals found in fruits serve numerous physiological functions. Blueberries have been called the "brain food" because of their ability to enhance cognition. Fiber from fruit increase colon transit time, protecting against colon cancer. Many of the vitamins are enzyme co-factors involved in metabolic pathways. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Fruit is a pretty ambiguous term. Blueberries not the same as bananas or strawberries. You can get those same antioxidants, vitamins, and phytochemicals in vegetables that arent pure sugar like fruit.
Im not saying fruit is the devil, just like I wouldnt say cookies are the devil. Moderation is key. Fruit...its not "healthy" food though. Its a treat

BS, your body only secretes the amount of insulin required for sugars, i.e., carbs. There are complex and simple carbs. A simple carb would be such as dextrose and oatmeal would be a more complex. Your pancreas secrets no more, no less insulin than what is needed to store the energy in your cells.
Simple explanation. Sure if you eat four Milky Ways after a workout, you'll get a spike in insulin, but only due to the need for a a quick insulin dose in the blood stream to handle the simple sugar overload. Matters not if it is Milky Way or an apple...think of it as insulin on demand.
