Sugar is not bad. Use eating refined sugar is bad.

Eat fruit, where sugar comes with fiber and vitamins/minerals and you will be fine (you are biologically a primate and they binge on fruit -- fruit and thereby sugar should thus be fine as our main source of calories).

One note to add: primates do not eat fatty foods and humans do. In the presence of fat, we cannot handle sugar (and thus fruit) very well and may lead to type2.

This sounds right, but probably isn’t. Humans moved from an all fruit diet probably a million years ago. It seems clear that adding high quality protein to our diet is what allowed us to grow our larger brains.

Which is not to say that eating fruit is bad for you.

The fruits we eat are nothing like what our non human primate ancestors ate. Fruits have become significantly sweeter within my lifetime. What goes for fruit now is artificially selecred fruit candy.

Did you taste wild figs and (wild) papaya? Stuff's hella sweat.

Sure we've cultivated sweet fruits that work in colder climates (apples and pears come to mind).

I'd love to see what your body looks like vs. the average fruitarian.
