Hi All

I have a quick question about sugar.

What is the difference between the sugar in a piece of fruit and the sugar in a can of energy drink?
What happens to the sugar once you consume it?
Say a piece of fruit has X calories, would the sugar in it mean it actually has more calories? Same question for the energy drink.
Is it true that if you're trying to lose weight that too much sugar will slow down your weight loss?

Cheers for the responses, that YouTube video was long, but very informative.

Cheers, best answer I could have possibly received. I've mostly cut sugar out my diet aside from Fruit and the 500ml can of Monster I have every day - which I'll stop drinking as of Monday.
