fruits have fiber and vitamins and other redeeming qualities.
maybe you're one of those people who think fiber and vitamins are useless and that 1000 calories of chocolate cake is identical to 1000 calories of chicken and broccoli, maybe not, but that's the reason.
also, do you know anyone who overeats bananas, or other fruit? now, do you know anyone who overeats foods with added sugar? one of these is common, one is not, and probably never will be.
- NDizzle 10y agoYes, exactly this. With the fruit comes fiber. Natural sugars, as long as they are consumed with their naturally occurring fiber, are fine. You can try to over-consume, but you'll have a bad time.
- Dylan16807 10y ago>fruits have fiber and vitamins and other redeeming qualities. I wouldn't word it that way. A cake can have plenty of fiber, and you could make a cake with a lot more vitamins than fruit has. But the cake is still a bad choice, for reasons such as having 5-10x more calories per ounce.
- derefr 10y agoPersonally, I'd rather just make a smoothie out of hemp and a multivitamin (and magnesium, some fish oil, etc.) to get all the nutrition with no sugar, rather than worry about solving a complex system of "redeeming qualities." But then, I'm one of those crazy MealSquares/nootropics people.
