Sorry if it’s already been asked before.
Kind of because you have to factor in fibre. When you eat refined sugar there’s nothing to stop it being all absorbed quickly. With fruit you have the fibre to stop this. Insoluble fibre forms a lattice work in your gut and soluble fibre fills in the lattices. This slows down the absorbtion of the sugar so your body is able to process it at a reasonable rate. This all mean you dont get a huge crash like eating a snickers would cause. IF you eat a reasonable amount of fruit. If you load up on fruit it’ll just overwhelm your system and act like a snickers. If you juice your fruit, there’s no fibre so it acts like a can of coke
There are too many variables here to give a definitive answer. Biochemical individuality, nutrient status, fitness level, etc. One man’s poison is another man’s cure kind of thing. Most fruits have a low glycemic load. Meaning it shouldn’t spike your insulin. It is usually the individual with impaired blood sugar control and faulty insulin metabolism that is the problem.
Yes, they would if you eat just the fructose. However you need to take in account the fiber and the water in fruits.
First, fiber slows down tge absorption of sugar.
Second you need to eat a lot of fruit to consume the same amount of sugar of say a whole chocolate, for example. That’s vecause of the water content in fruits.
So eating raw fruits is not the same as eating candy. Although you shouldn’t go overboard as fructose is still sugar.
