Q & A: Bananas are high in sugar. Should I avoid them?

No! Bananas are high in carbohydrates (sugar) but not the same type of sugar that is contained in candy, soda, and juice. Bananas contain complex carbohydrates, the preferred fuel for our working muscles. Bananas are also a rich source of potassium, fiber, and other vitamins and minerals. Bananas contain between 100 and 200 calories, no fat, and travel well on road trips!
