- IndianAstronaut 11y agoFruits have been cultivated and bred towards greater sweetness. They are much sweeter than their natural ancestor.
- saiya-jin 11y agoindeed, not something I like. now apple doesn't feel healthy at all, more like a giant candy (i know it's still probably healthier to eat it rather than not, but I really wish there would be types which would be less sweet)
- domas 11y agoI think "healthy food" is a bit misnomer: only people can be healthy or unhealthy, while food can be nutritious or not. While health of an apple is quite a different thing (apple tree disease?)
- manmal 11y agoJust saw that the WHO reduced the recommended amount to 25g: http://www.who.int/nutrition/publications/guidelines/sugars_intake/en/ http://www.who.int/nutrition/publications/guidelines/sugars_... This is for "free sugars" though, so whole apples should not count if I got it right. Fruit juice "frees" the sugar though, so sugar in apple juice should count.
