Added Sugar Versus Natural Sugar

Sugar is a leading contributor to weight gain and type 2 diabetes. Some low carb diets eliminate many foods providing natural sugars without providing any scientific evidence. Some people believe anyone with type 2 diabetes should not eat sweet fruit. Research shows people eating high plant food diets including sweet fruit are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes.

For many overweight Americans, the problem is not foods providing natural sugars, the problem is diets high in processed foods with added sugars.
