What's the big deal?

the big difference is that pure glucose will raise the blood sugar (glucose) level very quickly. spikes in the blood sugar level reak havoc with your insulin regulatory system which in turn cause more of these sugars to be stored. In fruit, the fiber in the fruit causes the sugar to be absorbed much slower and more even, so the blood sugar level doesn't tend to spike. Healthy sugar metabolism is really all about keeping your blood sugar levels not only at healthy levels, but just as imortantly, at continuous healthy levels.
