My point is that because she has not done her homework or research on sugar and because she is omitting this very pertinent information.. which totally misleads... the message is "it's ok to do a sugar free 30 days and still eat fruit" BUT it is in fact not a sugar free trail at all. How is that going to help others? ...

My experience of using the term "sugar free", is most people assume I mean processed sugar. That is why I did not spell it out.
Friends and aquaintances know I am on a sugar free diet. When they see me eating fruit, not one person has said "But it's got sugar in it".
It is a personal journey, that I was sharing, as a member of the community. I think saying I am uninformed, and calling my trial a "bogus" is harsh. Congratulating me after you have said those things does not really cut it as far as congratulating is concerned.
I have done a heap of research on sugar and am fully aware that fruit contains a lot of natural sugars. I am informed about the effect of processed sugar on health and I know enough that if someone stops having it for 30 days, they are doing themselves a big favour.
If I have inspired anyone to try 30 days or even 1 day without processed sugar, I am happy and proud and feel that I have absolutely helped someone!
