How does the body react to sugar from fruits differently to foods like cake, soda etc? Are the insulin spikes same for both the food? Why are people who are trying to lose weight or diabetic people asked to eat fruits and cut down cake and soda when both contains sugar?

It doesn’t. It’s just that fruits contain a lot more nutrients than processed refined sugars – fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, etc. Diabetic patients have to manage around the sugar spikes that come with all food.
