Where does your fruit come in?

Scott Schwab:
There is an assumption that if its fruit it is good for you. Well, better for you anyway, but fruits can also have higher level of sugars. Eating the right fruit at the right time is important, and can help your bodies insulane levels remain normal for sustained energy. Eating the right amounts of fruit will also help the body focus on burning fat for fuel and naturally detoxifying and cleansing the body.

Now let’s cover fruits which I will list from lowest in sugar to highest.

Lowest: Lemon or Lime, Rhubarb, Raspberries, Blackberries, and Cranberries. These fruits have some of the highest levels of antioxidants which is good, although they are lowest in sugar.

Low to medium level sugar in fruits include: Strawberries, Papaya, Watermelon, Peaches, Nectarines, Blueberries, Cantaloupes, Honeydew, Apples, Apricots, and Grapefruit.

Fruits fairly high in sugar: Plums, Oranges, Kiwi, Pears, and Pineapple.

Fruits highest in sugar: Tangerines, Cherries, Grapes, Pomegranates, Mangos, Figs, Bananas, and any dried fruits.
