Fruit has sugar. Candy and soda have sugar. Why is eating a whole mango healthier than eating a candy bar?

Fruit has two crucial components that a candy bar doesn’t have much of, water and fibre. That means there is only so much of it you can get in you before you’re full, so even if the sugar content is high, there’s a limit how much of the stuff you can consume and it will last you a while. With candy bars, you have the sugar, as well as fat and you can eat several without feeling full at all. It’s one of the reasons you should have the whole fruit instead of juices or smoothies, that increases the quantity of fruit you can consume in one go exponentially and will spike your blood sugar.
