> you are getting 5-6 times the sugar you would normally get eating the fruit whole

So what? If I'm hungry and need the calories provided by the sugar, what's the problem?

> Eating a lot of high glycemic foods leads to insulin resistance

Sugar has lower glycemic index than starch. And in any case I don't really buy the whole idea that eating carbs causes insulin resistance. Being fat causes insulin resistance. If you're not fat, sugar is fine.
