It’s often said that modern fruits contain several times more sugar than its older variants. So why would eating these fruits with lots of sugar be better than taking supplements?
In: Chemistry
When you eat a fruit, you’re eating a lot more than the sugar and nutrients. The flesh of the fruit requires energy to break down and digest.
This is why fruit juices and smoothies are fattening, it takes very little work for your body to absorb the sugar, so they require very few calories to be burned.
Supplements are really close to net zero calorie, and unless you’re deficient in certain nutrients they add nothing to your body.
