Q&A: Is Natural Fruit Sugar Just As “Bad” As Added Sugar?

Have you heard the common belief that eating fruit is bad because of the sugar it naturally contains? I’m diving into the research behind eating fruit and more in this Q&A episode on the Darin Olien show. 

 

I discuss the truth about fruit sugars, their impact on your health, how the fiber and phytochemicals in whole fruits can regulate blood sugar levels, and the research behind consuming whole fruits to lower your risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. I also dive into the health benefits of unrefined honey, the importance of high-quality honey, and its metabolic effects compared to other sugars.
