Indeed,  the Hadza diet is about half "sugar," using the definition of "sugar" common among LC diet advocates (by which they tend to include berries, fruits and honey):

"Year-round, 40-60 percent of the Hadza diet comes from sugar-rich foods: berries, baobab fruit, and honey.  This is unquestionably a high-sugar diet, sustained year-round throughout life.  The sugar they eat is all unrefined." http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2012/06/sugar-intake-and-body-fatness-in-non.html

And that's not even including the tubers!
