Hasn’t it been proven many times that fruits are healthy, period? Let alone comparing fruits to processed/refined sugars?
I never understand these claims of fruits being unhealthy — or an unhealthy substitute for processed/refined sugars — yet there are many sources stating that fruits are fine/healthy [1].
There’s more to the story than just comparing the amount of “sugar” from nutritional facts between fruits and candy.
Yes, juices aren’t great. But be clear that whole fruits and fruit juices are vastly different, and shouldn’t be thought of as equally unhealthy.

Infinitesimal amounts have no health consequence, moderate amounts are healthy, amounts that exclude other foods will cause nutritional deficiencies, and excessive enough amounts will result in suffocation.
