Continuing my story of finding something healthy to eat after being very sick:
Once I have found a safe breakfast Cereal, I wanted something to top it off.
I started my look around for articles. I never really enjoyed fruit, but knew it must be a major part of a good diet.
I started to eat fruit, lots of it.
Then one day an article showed which indicated how high the sugar content of some fruit is. One of my health problems is a border line high blood glucose readings. I had better watch my sugar intake.
I cut way down on my fruit intake but still wanted the luxury of a sweet taste to my morning cereal or oatmeal, plus I needed nutrition.
I found verification for what I instinctively knew. Berries, Cranberries, Blueberries, and Strawberries are good for you. Again moderation was the answer. I can eat my fruit but no more than 24 grams a day. Cranberry, blueberry and strawberry contain some of the lowest counts of fructose or sugar.

Oh Boy, you are right about that, I just looked it up. Grapes have 12.5 g of fructose in 1 cup one of the highest fructose counts. The Standard American Diet (SAD) recommended by the USDA says eat up to ? (I can't remember how much they say) helpings of fruit a day. They never ever talk about the amount of sugar or fructose in the fruit abd I don't think they care.
