Is the sugar in bananas(no homo) different than table sugar?

[Joseph DiNatale]

I know bananas are good for you, but they have a lot of sugar in them. How is this sugar different from the bad kind of sugar? Is the sugar in bananas healthy? Will it go to fat?

[Vipersg123]

table sugar is sucrose, a banana contains sucrose, glucose and, fructose.

sucrose, glucose, and fructose are good?

[kennny d]

bananas are good for you

[Chris_1990]

Natural sugar >>> processed sugar


EDIT: Why the hell do you have (no homo) in the title?

[Dummkopf]

Any fruit is better than refined sugar. Keep eating.

[needsomeesh]

Some sugar breaks down into fuel easier than others...so then your body can use it more readily...processed table sugar is harder to break down than natural "sugar" products such as those in any fruit. anything over what the body is able to process (carbs, protein, fat) turns into fat...if you're eating more protein than your body can process it turns into fat too...that's why diet is so important.
if only i could take my own ****ing knowledge and apply itttt!!!!

Eat your damm bannas, lots of carbs, I eat one postworkout sometimes. By the way, natural sugar in fruit is better than processed white table sugar

[Dummkopf]

I try to eat bananas every day.

Delicious with peanut butter.

[MSmith19]

Fruits contain primarily fructose which is healthy.

[cell technical]

Bananas have a moderate glycemic index, which means the sugar won't digest as quickly as the sugar in something like a potato or honey, but not as slowly as the sugar in most other fruits and vegetables.

That monkey comment sold it for me. Good point

Fruit is really good for you. If you ever have a craving for something sweet, feel free to eat fruit.

You most likely won't be able to eat TONS of fruit because fruit is filling and it contains fiber which slows the digestion of sugar. Natural sugar is MUCH better for you than table sugar.

I doubt you could eat 5 big apples and not feel sick...or eat 3 bananas. But it's pretty damn easy to eat 5 cups of ice cream.

I dunno, I'm just ranting.

Actually, I thought honey had a really low glycemic index?

I eat 3-5 bananas a day. No quicker more delicious way of cramming down 30g carbs.

LOL, i almost found this post as funny as the guy telling the OP he shoves bananas up his ass!

[cameron33]

table sugar is sucrose, a banana contains sucrose, glucose and, fructose.

sucrose is 50% glucose and 50% fructose...

[LIl_ronnie]

how would that be homo?

[Vipersg123]

sucrose is 50% glucose and 50% fructose...

right, but they are bonded together so its not like a combo of fructose and glucose mixed together... they need a molecular bond to become sucrose. It just so happens as banana's ripen their sucrose content becomes higher while glucose and fructose are still in the fruit.

[HeLiu]

dude u r so gay for saying bananas. good thing you put a no homo after it

and you shouldnt worry about the sugar in fruits.

[Jm262]

okay seriously, new rule. Anybody that puts (no homo) FOR ANYTHING, is automatically (yes homo).

And yes, banana's are good for you, just as everyone else has been saying, eat em
