If Fructose is Bad, What About Fruit?

Sugar has been making headlines as of late, with celebrities and trainers alike singling it out as one of the key culprits in the worlds obesity crisis.
Trouble is, fruits because it contains natural sugars? sometimes gets lumped in with foods like baked goods, candy, and sugary drinks, and as a result, unnecessarily shunned.
But Apart from impressive nutrients, fresh fruit is high in water and fiber, so its naturally occurring sugar is less concentrated than other sweet foods.
The water and fiber content of fruits considerably increases levels of fullness. This leads to lower calorie intake through the day, assisting in weight loss and fat loss. Fruits cut out cravings for unhealthy foods.
IN a Test - Seventeen people were made to eat 20 servings a day of fruit. Despite the extraordinarily high fructose content of this diet, presumably about 200 g/d—eight cans of soda worth, the investigators reported no adverse effects (and possible benefit actually) for body weight, blood pressure, and insulin and lipid levels after three to six months.
More recently, Jenkins and colleagues put people on about a 20 servings of fruit a day diet for a few weeks and found no adverse effects on weight or blood pressure or triglycerides, and an astounding 38 point drop in LDL cholesterol.
There was one side effect, though. Given the 44 servings of vegetables they had on top of all that fruit, they recorded the largest bowel movements apparently ever documented in a dietary intervention.
Even High Sugar Fruits like Mangoes , chikoos and bananas have a caloric density in the range of 200 - 400 calories / pound thus making them caloric dilute and absolutely safe to eat abundantly and frequently . Ad Libitum - as per pleasure .
