I'm a bit confused. In the Perfect Health Diet they recommend starches over fruits for carb sources, deviating in favour of glucose over fructose. One of the arguments is that fructose seems toxic and should be minimized, which is fine. But they base a lot of their arguments from an evolutionary perspective, and from that point of view, eating a diet that is considerably low in fructose was probably unrealistic, the ratio shouldn't deviate so much from 1 throughout evolution. The discussion is: are we adapted to handle fructose so well that is desirable to be consumed together or it's better to simply avoid it due to its toxicity?
Both seem to cause problems with endotoxins, which have been discussed.
Blood sugar regulation seems better with fruits. But if minimizing fructose is worth a bit more blood sugar disregulation, is possible to implement some strategies to mitigate those effects greatly. Especially if you consume sugar in small amounts each meal.
Another interesting point is that people that live long don't seem to consume much fruit. Just as treats.
