What I find sad about this report is the comment below the line from a reader, " didn't know fruits had a sugar in them!!?!

This is what happens when you mess with nature.
Makes you wonder whether humans need to do the same, though I would baulk at eating the panda pellets!!

Soon after I was first diagnosed , I remember something similar being reported regarding monkeys becoming diabetic because of the high sugar in bananas! ( I think it was a zoo in Devon)
