You don't need the fructose, it's not helping you. Fruit is not BAD for you, especailly if you are a hardgainer, but there are better choices.
I'd agree. I leave it in my diet in small amounts (i try to have a serving a day) as i enjoy it and I like the idea of vitamins and fiber from natural sources. That being said, it's something you definitely don't want to go overboard on...too much fructose gets converted straight to fat...
