Eat Whole Fruit With Fiber Intact
Whole fruit was described as acceptable because the fiber mitigates fructose absorption and feeds the microbiome. Berries were highlighted as especially preferable because they are relatively low in fructose and high in fiber. Fruit juice was discouraged because it lacks the intact fiber.
