Yeah, at one point Lestig points out that generally fruit is ok because the amount of fructose in fruit is relatively low and accompanied by lots of fiber and micronutrients. Fruit also tends to be more expensive so you can't eat as much even if you wanted to. A mango is a sweet and not particularly fibrous fruit, and it's only about 15% sugar. According to nutritiondata.com, A pound of mango pulp has about 65 grams of sugar. That would probably cost about $7.00 prepared (you can get them sliced fresh at Whole Foods). According to thedailyplate, a 20oz bottle of Pepsi, which feels expensive at $1.25 as you can get liter bottles for only slightly more, has 69 grams of sugar. And like I said, mango is not a particularly low-sugar fruit. Pineapple is 8.5% sugar and the bromelain makes your mouth hurt if you eat too much. Apples 10.5%.
