The Amount of Sugar in Fruit
1:26 PM Posted by jo
There is nothing that says that you should avoid fruit on the Paleo diet, but Cordain says in his new book, the Paleo Answer, that
it is wise to avoid dried fruit and eat sparingly of the high sugar
fruits if you're overweight and/or suffer from type 2 diabetes,
hypertension, heart disease, and abnormal blood lipids.
As you
will see below, dried fruit is a lot higher in sugar than fresh fruit
and should be eaten in limited amount for most us. Fresh fruit is by
far the best for us. Children are more active and don't need to limit
their carbohydrate as much as adults. Just make sure that the dried
fruit is unsweetened. Read the rest of the post on my Paleo Blog.
