Personally I don't necessarily agree that low-sugar=best here is a list I pilfered from Live Strong

You can use the handy little Nutrient Search Tool on the NutritionData web site to find out this sort of info & lots more. Here's the search for 'lowest in sugars' within the 'fruits and fruit juices' food category. |

Sugar is pretty irrelevant, you need to worry about carbohydrates and glycemic index. On both those grounds then berries such as strawberries, blueberries and raspberries are best. |

Are you metabolically well? If you have no blood sugar issues and respond to "paleo approved" carbs, then moderation of any fruit is going to be okay. However, it's fructose that you want to limit (the best you can.) I would rather try to go after berries and other low fructose content fruits. Here is an awesome post showing fructose content of all major fruits: http://becknaturalmedicine.blogspot.com/2010/04/fruit-fructose-content.html |

You'll want to look at the gucimic index more than sugar content. Marks daily apple has a good breakdown but I'm not at a pc to link you in. Just search the site for glycimic index and fruit |

Lemons, limes, strawberries, boysenberries, blackberries, cranberries and raspberries are all very low. (also tomatoes, which are also a fruit) Theres good reasons to avoid high sugar fruits. Modern fruits have far more sugar, and far less nutrients than their wild counterparts, fructose is implicated in diabetes, insulin insensitivity, liver troubles and belly fat obesity (fructose is processed by the liver unlike glucose which requires no processing and does not create belly fat = although it can still produce some insulin sensitivity). Fructose is responsible for many or most of the ill effects of refined sugar. This is connected to how we now know high fructose corn syrup is worse for you than refined sugar.....Sugars also feed bad bacteria. One should either eat only moderate fruits and preferably low sugar IMO. Berries seem to be the most like their wild counterparts in terms of sugar content, unlike most fruit in the supermarket which is quite high. Great thing is you can get frozen berries all year round... One only needs to look at - a) the actually availability of wild fruits in most enviroments and b) their sugar content vs modern agriculturally altered fruits and c) studies showing the harms of high fructose consumption, to realise that this "eat lots of fruit" malarky is dead wrong. Yes they have great anti-oxidants, and good vitamins, no we are not supposed to eat them in large quantities and ignore their sugar content... |
