There is no sugar in fat. I'm not sure what you mean by first sentence =/Let’s clarify what type of sugar we are talking about I didn't say fruits are low in sugar, they usually have a high % of fructose. I disagree that decreasing sugar content is the most important factor in losing weight, overall calorie reduction and exercise are the most important factors. Fruit is low in calories yet offers a lot more vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. Yes, it has fructose but that’s okay. It not an empty calorie food, as opposed to that soda which only offers the sucrose. I completely ignore fruit sugar content because there are more important factors of the diet I should be worried about. I would be paying attention to fat, carb, protein, fiber, making sure I’m eating enough fruits and veggies with variety, avoiding empty calorie food, and getting enough exercise. Why should I worry about fruit sugar if I am within a healthy calorie range and the sugar is from fruit ?The whole picture is, a person should not be afraid to eat fruit. If a person fears fruit, what other food can you turn to ??My nutrition teacher has mentioned this topic before, and she found it ridiculous that there are people afraid of eating fruit because of the sugar content. There are people who are afraid to eat carrots because of its high GI, not talking about diabetics. That’s a different topic but I feel there’s a correlation.
I never said there was 'sugar' in 'fat'. =/Decreasing sugar content is still one of the most important factors in losing weight, I'm not saying other things are not important, you can still take into factors of fats, carbs, protein, fiber, etc. But sugar is just as important, concerning this topic. Your assuming that I'm against fruits and saying fruit is bad for you, and your thinking that I'm trying to tell people you should be afraid to eat fruits, o_O I never said that once fruit is not bad for you, I just don't agree on eating the RDA amount of fruits for losing weight. That's the bottom line.
