Fruits that are lowest on the glycemic index (http://www.glycemicindex.com/) have the least sugar. Berries and melon are among those that have the least amount of sugar.

Well, all fruits have a lot of sugar. But they are also all healthy for you. Remember, the more variety of healthy foods in your diet, the better. If you do eat canned fruit, though, find fruit that is packed in its own juice, instead of lite or heavy syrup. Even though fruit may be high in sugar, it still has many vitamins, minerals, and other phytochemicals that you need to be healthy. They are high in fiber too, and help prevent many cancers. So, instead of thinking about the sugar content of fruit, just try to eat as many different fruits and vegetables as you can.
Also, look for the sugar content of processed foods, like cereals and junk foods. For cereals, some are really low in sugar and high in fiber and other good nutrients, while other cereals are loaded with sugar and are more like candy. These are the things you should be looking at. As for fresh fruit, it's all healthy!

Natural organic fruit is good for you..but all fruit has large amounts of sugar. Canned fruit is loaded with it , i say go fresh fruit.

I think staying away from apples and bananas are your best bet. Try melons or anything else for that matter. Keep portions correct. Even if you eat a half a banana (which is considered one serving of fruit) you will be fine. They are natural sugars anyway...not like table sugar. GO WILD!

I'm not sure if they have a lot of sugar in it or not, but I love peaches and Golden Delicious apples.

Green peppers... technically fruit... but probably not the answer you're looking for...
