When I say that sugar is PRACTICALLY devoid of nutrients, it's obvious that sugar itself is not being disregarded as a nutrient, that being a type of ose (ose means sugar). What I mean is that refined sugar is devoid of accompanying nutrients. The whole point is that a lot of people are under the impression that fruit is bad for them, especially given the current state of carbohydrate perception the populous has erroneously adopted. I'm not too sure that you understood what I stated, especially when you say that fruit isn't that far from coca cola. Yeesh. Candy bars and soda drinks are a source of sugar accompanied with loads of ingredients that are detrimental to physical health. Fruits are not.
