Paleo in a Nutshell — 3. How Did It Go Wrong?, p. 48
Fruits in our ancestral homeland were much less sugary and less watery than most of the fruits we have today. Flowever, most berries (raspberries, blueberries, redcurrants, strawberries, etc.) are low-glycemic; grapefruit, apples, bananas, and many other fruits are also okay. But we have to go easy on sweet, sugary fruits like pineapple, mango, and melons.

You should treat dried fruit (raisins, currants, dates, figs, apricots, peaches, etc.) as sugars. The drying process destroys some of the micronutrients, so in no way can dried fruit be a substitute for the fresh variety. In addition, we do not recommend that you liquidize fruits. Juicing, pasteurizing, concentrating, and reconstituting are processes that destroy the nature and utility of the natural fibers, strip out the nutrients, and increase the glycemic index.
