Are any sugars good for you?

[MadMike]

I know refined sugar is bad for you. Is any sugar healthy?

[ChristySmiles]

I'm pretty sugar that comes form natural sources like fruits are good for you, especially in moderation.

[TroyBurger]

I agree with ChristySmiles. I think that natural sugar like fruit is good for you. I think honey may be, as well, but I'm not to sure about that. That said, just be careful with natural sugar, while fruit may be very good for you, too much of it can also wreak havoc on your body!

[KittyKatt]

I think it might have to do with simple sugars versus complex sugars but I don't know the diffrence between the two. I just know that one is good and one is bad

[MeSarah]

Ya, I think complex sugars are the bad ones, that's refined sugar, like white table sugar; the sugar they add to junk food and beverages, those you find in baked goods etc. Fruit I think falls into the simple category and while you do still need to watch how much you eat, it's much better for you.
