This underscores why a whole foods, plant-based diet is preferable to a plant-based diet that includes processed junk.

I’ve touched on the harm of refined sugars before in:
• Flesh and Fructose (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/flesh-and-fructose/)
• Are Sugary Foods Addictive? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-sugary-foods-addictive/)
• Mercury in Corn Syrup? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/mercury-in-corn-syrup/)
• Dietary Guidelines: Pushback from the Sugar, Salt, and Meat Industries (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-guidelines-pushback-from-the-sugar-salt-and-meat-industries/)

For healthful alternatives in baking, see The Healthiest Sweetener (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-healthiest-sweetener/).

But what about the fructose in fruit? How much fruit is too much? I’ll be addressing these questions in a series of videos coming soon. And I’ll also be doing more videos on the burgeoning epidemic of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and what we can do about it.

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-much-added-sugar-is-too-much/ and he'll try to answer it!
