Not quite. So many people regard the sugar in fruits in the same class as table sugar, but that couldn't be any further from the truth.

When people learn that the energy of fruit comes from sugars, they may think that eating fruit is the same as eating concentrated sweets such as candy or cola beverages. No so. Fruits differ from concentrated sweets in nutrient density. The sugars of fruits arrive in the body diluted in large volumes of water, packaged in fiber, and mixed with many vitamins and needed minerals. In contrast, all types of refined sugars, even honey, arrive in the body in concentrated form, practically devoid of nutrients. From the body's point of view, fruits are vastly different from purified sugars, except that both provide glucose in abundance.
