Fruits are generally full of healthy fibre and water, which have a basic balancing effect on the fruit sugars and means that the fructose is released into your system more slowly. Also, they are real, whole foods, high in minerals and antioxidants. Itβs difficult to overdose on fructose from fruit, so how much you eat is up to you, but in general I prefer to choose low-sugar fruits and combine them with other foods such as protein or good fats. An apple or a handful of blueberries with a slice of my sugar-free Banana Bread with nut butter is a really satisfying snack, and more complex for our digestive system to break down, which in turn means that the sugars are released more slowly into our system.
