How dose the sugar in fruit affect insulin..!!!

Yes there are sugar in the fruits we consumed but along with the fiber which helps your body to absorb the sugar slowly. The food or beverage we consume which contains carbohydrates helps to breaks the carbohydrates into a type of sugar called glucose which enters the bloodstream. Whenever blood sugar levels rise our pancreas produces a hormone called insulin. It is a signal to our cells to absorb the glucose so it can be used immediately as energy or stored in the liver and muscles for the later use. If we eat foods on a continuous basis which cause surges in blood sugar makes our pancreas work harder. It can lead us to insulin resistance and increased the risk of type 2 diabetes. 



Some refined grain products like white bread, cookies and crackers are tend to be low in fiber and delivered a large amount of carbohydrates and digested very quickly. These types of food raises our insulin levels. When we consume carbohydrates in liquid form the sugar enters into our bloodstream, such as sugary sodas.

The fruit juice which we consume may contain fiber but some of them fiber is broken down in the juicing process and reducing the metabolic benefit compared with intact fruit.



It is best to eat the whole fruit to minimize the spikes in insulin. Four apples can contain the same amount of sugar as 24 ounces of soda, but the slow rate of absorption minimizes the blood sugar surge.
