> And despite the fact that, as one endocrinologist and diabetes expert told Levinovitz, the only definitively established metabolic difference between fruit and candy is that “it’s a lot easier to eat tons of candy than it is to eat tons of apples.”
That endocrinologist must not think there is any value in fiber, phytonutrients, antioxidants et al. Yes, lets all just eat 300g sugar, 100g oil and 100g whey protein powder every day. Clearly a recipe for poor health.
Reductionist thinking glosses over the details that are important for health.

- DanBC 11y agoMost dieticians and nutritionists warn against smoothies and fruit juices. Have a small amount if you like them, but don't think of them as healthy. There's a lot of sugar in fruit juice. This is especially true for children with milk teeth - the sugars in undiluted fruit juice cause tooth decay.
