Eli5: Why are raisins considered a healthy snack for toddlers if they’re mostly sugar?
In: Biology
It’s a marketing ploy to sell them.
Raisins, just like grapes and grape juice, are not healthy at all. They have more sugar than CocaCola. Sure, they have some vitamins, but those are easily acquired from far better sources.
Sugar from fruits is no different than sugar from sugarcane. It’s the same substance, with maybe a slightly different fructose to glucose ratio.
