Thanks, Mike. This is the old belief that fruit at any time of the year is healthy, and "natural" sugar is harmless when consumed with the healthy micronutrients riding along with the fruit. What many naive people don't understand is that fruit when consumed occasionally and during the traditional season when it's ready for harvest is not unhealthy unless consumed in mass quantity. When consumed for 12 months of the year, all bets are off and the value of the micronutrients along for the ride is inconsequential when compared to the damage fructose (the "natural" sugar referenced) can wreak. Also, consider the fact that today's fruit has been developed to have a higher sugar content. Fruit juice? Just crack open a can of coke for an equivalent:

The Telegraph article is an eye opener.
