In the first example you are talking about candy. People eat that. People do not eat pure sugar. In the 3rd example, you are talking about food. In the second example are you referring to eating fruit or candy made with fruit sugar? When you say fruit sugar are you referring to fruit? People do not eat pure fruit sugar. If you mean fruit then say fruit. In the 3rd example you do not say rice carbs and oatmeal carbs.
I do not get any reaction from eating fruit. People with a candida albicans overgrowth do. Of course there is right way and wrong way to eat fruit. If you eat fruit alone and do not have candida, no problem. If you eat fruit with meat and bread then you will have problems with the fruit. This is talked about in the books
Fit for Life 1 and 2.
[From Wiki.] They sold many millions of copies. People breaking a fast will only eat fruit at first. The 2 books mentioned above say that fruit is the best food to eat. The diet came to public attention in the mid-1980s with the publication of Fit for Life, a New York Times best seller[3][4] which sold millions of copies,[1][5] over 12 million according to Harvey Diamond.

Arnold Ehret says so also. What does Wikipedia say about him? All the following: Ehret was a founder of naturopathy.
At 31, he was diagnosed with Bright's disease (inflammation of the kidneys) by Dr G. Riedlin, and pronounced incurable by 24 of Europe’s most respected doctors.
He took a course at a university of medicine, physiology and chemistry.
Due to his new lifestyle, Ehret claimed to have cured himself of his diseases and to be able to perform feats of physiological strength, including a 1000 mile bicycle trip from Algiers to Tunis.
Having renounced the nitrogenous-albumin metabolic theory in 1909, he learned of a contemporary, Thomas Powell M.D. in 1912, who concurred with his belief that "grape sugar" (simple sugars in fruits and vegetables) was the optimum fuel source, body building material and agent of vitality, for humans, not protein rich foods.
His findings about food values and pH values, were supported by chemist, Julius Hensel,[48] and Swedish chemist, Ragnar Berg.
After collaborating with Henri Oedenkoven who owned Monte Verità,[38][39] Ehret opened a sanitarium in Ascona, Switzerland[40] and another 'Fruit and Fasting Sanitarium',[41] in nearby Locarno, treating thousands of patients considered incurable.
In 1994, Gary Null Ph.D. wrote: "Arnold Ehret [1866 to 1922] was a man of unique insight with a prophetic understanding of how to cleanse and rebuild the body. It would take the world of orthodox medicine 80 years to catch up with him."[85]
Null is best known as a promoter of natural and alternative remedies. He has written or produced more than seventy books, booklets, and audio CDs on the topics of health, wellness, nutrition, and alternative medicine.[2]
