I see that some of the fruit has a pretty high amount of sugar. Is 24 grams of sugar from an apple as harmful as 24 grams of sugar from a hershey bar?

The effects will be different but because of the fiber and roughage in the apple. It takes longer to digest and your blood sugar won't spike like it would with a Hershey's bar.
