(This is true even if the original quoted material did not end with a period or a comma). Thompson (1998, p. 32) describes Esme as a real charmer.. Exception: If there is a parenthetical citation immediately after the quote, the period or comma goes after the parenthetical citation.
Pears do contain a moderately high amount of sugar, with a medium sized pear containing approximately 17.4 grams of sugar. However, it is important to note that the natural sugar found in fruits and vegetables is not the same as the processed sugars found in things like candy and soft drinks.
The ratios of fructose and glucose are pretty much the same in both fruit and table sugar. Most fruits are 40 to 55 percent fructose (there's some variation: 65 percent in apples and pears; 20 percent in cranberries), and table sugar (aka sucrose) is 50/50. Neither type of sugar is better or worse for you, but your body processes them differently. Fructose breaks down in your liver and doesnât provoke an insulin response.
