No such thing as sugar that is "good for you".

There is sugar that gets absorbed into your body quicker than other sugars, thereby creating faster spikes in your blood sugar, but that's about it.

There are also foods such as veggies and fruits that have other things in them that make it so the sugar is absorbed even slower, and they are things that, typically speaking, you shouldn't avoid even if they have sugar in them.

But there is no such thing as sugar that is "good for you".

Sorry, yeah, there are things that have sugar in them that are still good for you and shouldn't be penalized or ignored.
