> the only thing that dieticians are consistently against is sugar in large doses.

Not all sugar is the same. In fruit is in fructose form and "fiber bound". Refined sugar is the devil, but so are most refined products.

Fructose be absorbed by cells with little to non insulin. Also, in the company of fiber it gets absorbed slower into the blood (less sugar spike).

Finally there's the fat-sugar issue: in the company of fat (fatty blood) the muscle/liver cells become less insulin sensitive.

I regularly binge on fruit, but only when i have not eaten ANY fat yet for that day. I do this for 2+ years now and I find a lot of benefits.

Fructose, in fact is the villain. Check out https://peterattiamd.com/rickjohnson/
I suspect it would be hard to eat raw fruit in sufficient volume for it to be an issue though?

Although for sure, you have to be careful drinking a lot of fruit juice etc.

This to me is like telling a cow it should not eat grass. lol
