> I still consider fruits as desserts and not very healthy... Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but why wouldn't fruits as desserts be healthy?

  Because there is too much sugar, i.e. too much unneeded energy, and additionally, that sugar is in a form that absorbs very quickly.

  Why would fruit be healthy? They're living off the good reputation from the phrase "fruits and vegetables", but fructose isn't good for you and the vitamins are overrated.

      I appreciate that the Wikipedia link just says not to do it.
