you need not worry about natural suguars they last for a long time and dont turn to fat as quickly as suguars as say in things like "count chocula" and other artifical foods like that. the rule of thumb i go by is if comes off a plant and nothing is processed and any sort of man made garbage is put in it, more than likely its good for you.
and as for the acidity i seriously dont think it would do anything, its not gonna eat away your fat. just do some cardio and eat healthy and youll get the results you want in no time.

avoiding fruit is a bad idea because:
1) fruits are calorically sparse & nutritionally dense. not mentally dense like folks who tell others to avoid them.
2) fruits are an effective default fiber & water source. you will **** better & function better.
3) fruits have small amounts of fructose per serving (4-7g). this is perfect for preserving liver glycogen & indirectly, skeletal muscle glycogen status. muscle glycogen is better replenished when small amounts of fructose are present in the postW mix.
4) a liver lacking glyco-replenishment = multiple catabolic signalling cascades = compromised gains in skeletal muscle. fructose facilitates "fed state" signals to the brain. too complex to get into right now, but this is a good thing.
5) fruits contain system & recovery-enhancing phytonutrients & antioxidant factors not present in any other food species.
6) there is not a solitary shred of science indicating ill effects on health, body composition, or physical performance as a result of eating fruit. some of the leanest, longest-living populations on the planet earth eat fruit daily.
7) it would take the consumption of a truck bed of fruits to ingest amounts of fructose associated with negative metabolic effects seen in forcefed rats. the funny thing about this is, fruit is one of the rare foods in nature that you can actually fill yourself up with, & still not tip the balance of risk versus benefit.
8) fruit avoidance just plain makes no damn sense whatsoever -- but then again, how many idiotic bodybuilding myths do you know of that do?

I've read something about some fruits/vegtables having so few calories they have a negative calorie effect. Meaning the energy you use digesting them exceeds the number of calories in them, therefore you burn calories say, eating a stick of celery (yum) or a grapefruit. This could be a load of crock, but still, it can't hurt.
