its not fruit thats making americans fat, its the litres of soft drinks and HFCS that's in loads of sweet + packaged foods.
the main thing I took from this video is that sugar is essentially a POISON - it is only metabolised by the liver (all cells in ur body can use glucose, but not fructose), and always causes damage as it's metabolised.
fructose is bad, but not at levels you get from 1-3 pieces of fruit a day. it's bad because sugar = sucrose = glucose + fructose, and sugary diets contain shit tons more sucrose(and thus fructose) than we've evolved to cope with.
basically we should be thinking of sugar like we think of alcohol, i.e. poisonous substance to be limited. It's a different animal from pure carbs/glucose. thats what you should get outa the vid.
