Most of the time,
You will hear people say,
"I am eating fruits because they have natural sugar."
It is at this point that you realise we have been brainwashed so much by the crappy food industry and adulterated nutrition education.
There is nothing like "natural sugar" or "artificial sugar",
We only have natural and artificial SOURCES of sugar.
Sugar is just sugar.
There are two commonly known types of simple sugars,
• Glucose
• Fructose
• Galactose (this is a simple sugar too, but it is a lesson for another day.)
These simple sugars are biologically known as MONOSACCHARIDES.
Their molecular formula is C₆H₁₂O₆.
But the difference is in their structural arrangement. Glucose is a six-membered ring (aldohexose) that serves as the primary fuel, while fructose is a five-membered ring (ketohexose) found in fruit and metabolized only in the liver.
So, when the sugar comes from the fruit, the body doesn't say,
"Oh well, this is not an enemy, go slow on him,"
Or, if it comes from Sodas, Juices or Energy Drinks, the body doesn't say,
"Shit, man! Get the swords and the guns, the enemy has arrived."
NO.
The body deals with FRUCTOSE from fruits the same way it does with FRUCTOSE from sodas.
FRUCTOSE follows one pathway called THE FRUCTOKINASE PATHWAY in the liver.
The biggest problem with fructose, apart from being insanely sweet, is that, in the liver, it accumulates into fatty acids and triglycerides. This accumulation leads to:
• Insulin Resistance and Diabetes
• Oxidative stress
• Chronic Inflammation
• Elevated uric acid levels leading to GOUT
• Hypertension
Therefore, if you are focusing on recovering from a fatty liver, a fat stomach or losing weight, then avoid eating these fruits.
It is ridiculous when you see people carrying fruits to patients admitted in hospitals because of chronic ailments, and yet hospital nutritionists act dumb, and feign ignorance.
They even tell patients to eat fruit and drink juices like Ribena and Del Monte to "Regain Energy."
This is madness and functional illiteracy.

OMEPRAZOLE VS ANTACID
Omeprazole and antacids are very confusing medications.
Many people use antacids when they need omeprazole and use omeprazole when they should use antacids.
What is the difference between them?
What situations should each of them be used?
