 I have no problems with fruits. Plants design fruits to be eaten in return for spreading their seeds. Vegetables however are their body or future offspring and plants protect these with toxins. Sugar in processed food is not the same as organic seasonal fruits. 
 Actually the sugar is the same but when it is combined with other things in fruits especially potassium it causes much less insulin release . 
 Yes what I meant was the package the sugar comes in is entirely different. Insulin is designed to rise and fall, as long as you remain insulin sensitive I see no issue. I think everyone overcompensated from worrying about too high insulin to never letting it rise.
