We were probably never in contact with as much sweet fruit before in history, let alone fruit juices, sodas, sweeteners and candies. In sucrose table sugar and in sugary fruits, the fraction that is problematic is the sugar fructose.
The other main fraction is glucose, which can be used by all our cells for energy and is the main fuel for life on earth. Because glucose is the good sugar, can be used by all our cells for energy and is essential for some parts of our bodies, the best sources of natural carbohydrates are starchy vegetables.
Starch is a complex polymer of glucose molecules that are disassembled in our digestive systems and absorbed as glucose.
Starchy vegetables have been demonized in the past by Paleo practitioners, but science has shown that starchy vegetables are not only generally healthy, but have also been consumed for a very long time already by our ancestors as a dense source of energy. Of course, many sources of starch like grains and legumes are very unhealthy and over consumption of total carbohydrate is also problematic, especially for the already metabolically challenged.
Of course, the amount where fructose becomes toxic and damaging varies for everybody depending on a multitude of factors, but a good rule of thumb for most healthy people is at around 50 grams of fructose per day. Keeping in mind that most fruits are half glucose and half fructose , consuming over grams of sugar from fruits every day can become problematic. We should also keep in mind that by eliminating the other toxic agents in our diets like grains and vegetables oils our bodies probably become more tolerant to a little excess sugar.
