A member asked:
Are apples really good for weight loss? i looked at the apple package and one apple has 16g of sugar for a granny smith! but it has 20% of fiber

Fruits & sugar: As fruits go, apple is not a terrible one because of the fiber you mention. It may contain glucose, but the high fiber makes it be broken down more slowly (lower glycemic load) than fruits with less fiber. More sugary ones are pineapple, papaya, banana, etc. Less sugary, more high fiber ones include blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and boysenberries -- they have lots of antioxidants too!
