Personally, I believe the latter to be the case, in that sugars that are
fractionated and refined from their source foods are more likely to be
causing the health-related problems than the sugars found naturally in
fruits and vegetables, which I believe to have something like a synergistic
relationship to the other compounds found in the source foods.

I don't notice any adverse effects from eating moderate amounts of fruits,
either.
