Ahem, raw food diets heavy in fruit? Green smoothies? I think you are generalizing a bit too much. Our bodies fuel is sugar. Bad sources are bad, but sugar is necessary. Whole grains are broken down in our bodies into sugar...

I saw a study a while ago -don't remember where- that said that fructose would lead to decencies. That's because its not like the fruit that it came from, it has been processed and is missing the nutrients that the body needs to deal with it.
