I object to the framing. I suggested that someone who did not currently eat the recommended 5 servings of fruits to up their fruit intake. They did so and felt better. But we’ve already had this argument.
That was about fructose, this one is about glucose :-D
By the way, why do you consider the whole “recommended servings” things to be anything more than nonsense? As far as I know these recommendations are written by the agriculture and food industry lobby with the idea of shaping consumption preferences.
I only care about servings to the extent that they are used as the increments in studies on health. They are then used as recommendations because food packaging is sold in those units, making it easier on the end user. Most people don’t want to weigh their food.

Huh? Fruits and vegetables are sold in serving-size units..? What are you talking about?
Fruit comes in discrete units. It’s generally advisable to give people an idea what 5 servings per day looks like.
I agree if you’re thinking of apples or oranges, but ADBOC if you mean all fruit, including cherries or watermelons.
