ZOE Science & Nutrition · How to eat sugar without gaining weight (crush your cravings and end energy crashes) | Prof Tim Spector & Prof Sarah Berry · 23 Jul 2026 podcast

Keep the pulp in there that's got all the fiber.

highly variable.

You've got some smoothies that I think are very unhealthy for you that tend to have all the fiber removed, that have lots of added sugar.

You do have some smoothies that can be quite healthy for you, but I think it's quite difficult to know.

I would have a look at the backpack labeling and look at what's free sugar versus what's intrinsic sugar.

The problem is, is in the UK, that's very challenging because the labels in the UK actually just do total sugar.

The labels in the US do differentiate between the free sugar and the intrinsic sugar.

So again, dried fruit is another area that I think we demonize because it's a very concentrated source of sugar because you're taking all the water out of the fruit.

So you've got a concentrated source of sugar, but you've also got a concentrated source of fiber.

You've also got a concentrated source of bioactives, so these polyphenols.

So I think dried fruit is actually unfairly demonized.

Yes, because it's very concentrated, it's very easy to over-consume it.

Before you know it, you've had a huge portion of sugar.

But I think in small amounts, absolutely, it's a really healthy snack.

My personal view on that is absolutely not because I think that food is there to be enjoyed.

I would also say it would be really difficult to go cold turkey because considering the majority of our food is processed with added sugars that we probably don't even know are in there that are called all different things on the food label, unless you're going back to basics, cooking everything from scratch.

And we don't need to eliminate all sugar from our diet.

We really don't need to.

We just need to make sure we're not consuming excess calories from sugar.

Our sweet taste receptors in our mouth do adapt.
