For example, many followers of the keto diet and the trending carnivore diet (a.k.a. the “zero carb” diet), call fruit toxic because of its sugar. It’s true that whole fruit contains sugar, but it is natural sugar. The sugar we would be wise to limit is added sugar, found in regular soda and many highly processed foods. While drinking juice every time we’re thirsty isn’t a good idea, 100 percent fruit juice in moderation — an 8-ounce glass per day — adds nutritional value to the diet without adding excessive sugar?
