>Try finding even a loaf of bread in the bread aisle of your supermarket that is less than 10% sugar.

What is meant by this? Even on the high end, standard Wonderbread isn't 10% sugar by weight. 10% sugar by calorie content, or a serving accounts for more than 10% RDA? A banana would be far worse by those metrics.

Bananas, like almost all fruits (excepting grapes) have enough fiber to render the sugar mostly harmless.

The label will say something like "Serving size: 31g ... Sugar: 3g". Bread is at the low end.
