Sugar itself isn't bad, it's the fact that we are consuming far too much of it. The sugar in fruit is far less concentrated and attached to a lot more nutrients than a lot of sources of processed simple sugars. I'm fact, fructose (the sugar found in fruits) does not suppress hunger like sucrose (table sugar).
