Sugar is produced naturally in sugar beet and sugar cane plants.
Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar?

Because these are naturally grown sources of sugar that is untainted by the joke of the food industry's idea of processing sugar?

The issue with processed food isn’t the artificial part or the refined part, it’s the calorie dense part. Fresh fruit juice is processed sugar, vegan pizza is highly refined, and organic granola bars are still highly processed.
The calorie density makes it far too easy to over consume, and to do so regularly.
