But you cannot compare todays fruits to those that our bodies have evolved on. Over the last couple of thousand years we have selectively most (if not all) of them for higher sugar contents.
That is not to say that a diet should not contain fruits, it probably should and fruits are most definetly more nutritious than candy, but its not that black and white.
True, but still on a whole other level than candy. A snickers bar or coke hurts my teeth it is so sweet and a bag of gummies churns my gut. I feel fine after eating an apple. Fruits honestly don’t even seem that sweet unless you’re just eating those genetic modified grapes and new apples. Many (most?) fruits are quite tart. Maybe it’s my equatorial bias speaking and I eat a wider range of fruits than the average person, but I just don’t see fruits I enjoy as particularly sweet.
