To the OP yeah its mostly sugar but its NATURAL sugar from fruit not table sugar or something AND as long as its combined with proteins and fats each meal there will be no massive insulin spike. Phil, correct me if I'm wrong.

The issue I see (if you're attempting to stay lean), is the fructose content. Fructose is digested and uti;ized in a totally different way than other carbs, and converts to bodyfat easily.
I thought i remember hearing that fructose was actualy NOT converted to fat as easly as other processed sugars are?
It's understandable.... keep some things in mind....
1) fructose CAN BE converted to glucose in the liver
2) intake up to 50-100 grams of fructose is quite "acceptable"
3) There IS NOT A LOT of fructose in fruit as you would think... Nutrition facts, calories in food, labels, nutritional information and analysis – NutritionData.com (will give you the break down of the different sugars)
4) Don't confuse high-fructose corn syrup with fruit fructose (see this all the time here)
5) Phil's guys are only on fruits and vegies... they seem to do pretty well
