Yes, but when you eat fruit, you also eat the fibers. That slows down your uptake, and will prevent a sugar spike. You don't want your blood sugar level to spike, because then your body will create insulin. The insulin's job is to move the sugar out of the blood. It does this by sending the sugar, which is fuel, to the muscles that need it. If there are no muscles needing fuel, it goes to fat cells for storage. Then after that, sugar levels drop below normal levels. And then you get cravings for a quick snack or sugary drink, and the cycle starts over again. If you eat your sugar with fibers, like in fruit, you don't get a sugar spike, and you don't get an insuline spike, and a sugar drop. Also fruit contains a lot more healthy things aside from the sugar. Vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants. So yeah, it really is a world of difference whether you drink a cola or eat an apple.
