You body needs sugar, it's all about getting the right kind. Fruit sugar doesn't spike the blood sugar or make you "high" like other carbs do so it's very good. Look at Jack Lalaine! (I gotta get me a power juicer[img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]) he's been juicing for years and he looks fab!

Eating fruits IS better than eating all that refined carb stuff (white sugar, flour, etc...) That glycemic load stuff is interesting... I don't know how long it's been since i've been avoiding bananas... YEARS!!! I had my first taste of banana yesterday & I must say, it was YUMMY!!!
It's getting HOT here in EL PASO... http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley11.gif
I might go and buy me some watermelon today. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley17.gifAnd i'm working on my nutrition planner for next week so I can get in enough calories including fruits as my main carbohydrate choice, protein, & healthy fats. I don't think i'll go ALL fruit though... Gotta ease into it slowly.
