Most people have never eaten natural wheat. We eat 'dwarf wheat'.
Dwarf wheat has been modified and cross bred for a higher yield and shorted growing season but lost much of it's nutrition value while containing unnaturally high levels of gluten (inflammatory), amylopectin A (a extra fattening starch) and polypeptides (exorphins which cause cravings).

Dwarf wheat also has a short root system so it can't absorb as much minerals from the soil. Therefore we get less nutrients with it and get more fat.

The sugar in fruit is fine if you eat it as it is, but not if you squeeze it out.
Generally natural foods are nutritionally balanced to allow your body to absorb its contents.For example fruits contain fibres which help your body to regulate how much sugar it absorbs and to absorb it slowly. (that low GMI thing...)

If you just squeeze out the juice your loosing the fibres in the flesh and your body gets a sugar rush from the fruit sugars cos it absorbs too much at once just like in a soft drink. The excess sugar is then converted by the body into fat.

Same goes for refined and processed foods which are lacking the natural balance. And sadly most health foods are overly processed and are just as bad if not worse as the regular products. Also try to avoid gluten free or diet products. They're always hiding something else.
