Answer 1

Because fruit have more than just sugar in them.

Apart from fiber and various other nutrients (vitamins, elements like magnesium, iron, potassium etc), fruit also contain plenty of water, which is nice.

Obviously if you eat nothing but bananas and grapes, it won’t be super healthy either, balance is important everywhere.

But in terms of nutrition, weight by weight, I’d say fruit is always a better solution than a candy bar.

Remember moderation, and you can enjoy both.
