That doesn't seem to be the case for me. All indications are that my body is well-mineralized. As just one example of this, my fingernails are harder and stronger now than ever. As for "too much sugar intake", well, past experience for me was that I was ingesting too much fat and starch, whereas now, I feel like I'm ingesting the "just right" amount of fruit sugars. Not too much, not too little. The whole matter of "too much sugar" seems to be a matter of opinion, and possibly differing experiences among people, due to various reasons. Also, a lot of this issue comes down to calories: If one were to eat the supposed higher fiber wild fruits, one would just have to eat more of them by volume (in comparison to lower fiber fruits) to get enough calories. Wild fruits might be more balanced overall, but again, my experience is that cultivated fruits can be balanced out with other appropriate foods, and a high level of nutritional balance can be attained and maintained.
