Natural sugars in fruits are still a lot better than refined and processed sugars. I wouldn't pass up all the vitamins and minerals in fruit because I have no problem with my insulin levels.

the sugars aren't better, they just have a lot more nutrients and healthy properties in them to justify eating them as opposed to a candy bar or twinkie.
fruit isn't bad for you, but eating too much will, as stated already, spike your insulin levels so moderation is a good idea. Further, juice as good as it tastes is right up there with coke.. too much sugar and the vitamin balance does NOT justify things out enough to make it a healthy choice--that is unless you are making celery and broccoli juice i guess! Far FAR too many calories, people drink excessive amounts because they are under the impression they are drinking something healthy and tasty, and people wonder why they can't ever lose weight... must be genetics! ;)
