 Sugar in fruit should be evaluated with the other benefits of the fruit in mind as well as time of day you ate it and fiber content. An apple, for instance, still has plenty of sugar but also has plenty of fiber, increasing your satiation as well as lowering its impact on your blood sugar levels. A banana, on the other hand, is full of potassium, a mineral we do not find in enough foods in the US diet. It is full of sugar but lacks the fiber neccesary to lower its impact so it would be better to eat it before exercise or with a protein shake afterwards to improve recovery and make sure those carbs go to muscle rather than fat.
