Heart Surgeon Explains Differences Between Fruit Sugar and Added Sugar
Heart surgeon Dr. Jeremy London explains that the sugar molecules in fruit and added sugars are chemically identical, but the body's response differs due to accompanying components. Whole fruits contain fiber, water, polyphenols, and antioxidants that slow digestion and reduce blood sugar spikes. In contrast, processed sugars lack these nutrients. Juice removes fiber, acting more like sugary drinks, while dried fruit concentrates sugar by losing water. Thus, the nutritional context influences how sugar affects metabolism.
