FAQ: Should I avoid fruit since it’s high in sugar?

Q: Should I avoid fruit since it’s high in sugar? A: No! Fruit is so nutrient dense that it pains us to see people avoiding it altogether. Fruit is nature’s candy; we often see people avoiding fruit, but loading up on desserts. We are inherently wired to want sweets. By eating fruit regularly, it can limit our desire for the dessert buffet. Aim to eat more vegetables than fruit, but there is no reason to avoid it.
