So if they added fiber to a Snickers bar, that Snickers bar would be healthy?

I guess the downvote means the answer is "Of course not", so fiber isn't the concern here. So, people here claim that sugar is bad except when it's in fruit, and the fiber in fruit doesn't make sugar good.

In addition to adding fiber, you would need to add vitamins and minerals, bring the fat to almost nothing, and reduce the calories by a factor of 3.

  What kind of fat to bring to almost nothing? You need fats to aid in the absorption of vitamins and minerals[1], such as using a plain olive oil dressing for your salads. 1. http://www.naturalnews.com/001545.html http://www.naturalnews.com/001545.html

    >What kind of fat to bring to almost nothing? The point was to show that one cannot simply "add fiber" to a candy bar and make it comparable to fruit. Their individual nutritional values are not correlated because they both have sugar. Nor would they be if fiber was added to the candy. >You need fats to aid in the absorption of vitamins and minerals[1], Would this hypothetical diet consist of only snicker's bars? Otherwise I don't understand the argument. What point are you even trying to make?

      No, you're missing my point: I'm saying you should not remove all fats from your diet. As the linked article I provided suggests, you need fats in your diet. And I did not suggest a hypothetical diet of only snicker's bars. Any healthy diet needs a balance of fats, fibers, minerals and vitamins. Suggesting that all fats should be removed is not accurate. (And I'm simply providing information that you need fats in your diet.)

        I never said you need to remove all fats from your diet. Therefore my confusion to your reply. While I missed your point, apparently you're having your own conversation.

It wouldn't be healthy, but it would not be "toxic" the way the video describes. But you'd have to add a lot of fibre. Take a third of a snickers bar. Now add enough fibre and filler to make it the size of an apple. Imagine eating 3 apples as a snack.
