It's not the natural sugars in fruit that
cause the problems in most people's diets...

It's the added sugars in food products that
are the major nasty aspects.

On a good low-carb regimen
(not unreasonably strict)
you should be able to have almost all
kinds of fruit, especially berries, melon,
and citrus fruit (fresh, canned, or
frozen -- without added sugars).

The fiber in whole fruit helps
the naturally-occurring sugars in
the fruit digest slowly, which is why they
are much more healthful than processed fruit.

A great sweetener to cook with is ERYTHRITOL,
which has almost zero calories, and does
not cause gas like many other sugar subs.
To boost the sweetening power of erythritol
or other sugar subs, add a small pinch of stevia.
