Most people would say that eating fruit is good for us; vitamins, micro-nutrients, phyto-chemicals.

However, a colleague of mine told me he eats no fruit because of the sugar.

Is eating an apple as bad as eating an equivalent amount of pure sugar with a spoon? (Assuming pure sugar is considered bad for us.)

Is there any other way in which eating a fruit is bad for us?

Voted to close. There is no quantifiable measure for "badness" or "goodness" of food. – rumtscho Mar 14 '16 at 10:47

I just thought, thing being a beta and all, that bad questions could stay and teach others what to ask and what not to ask. – Roger C S Wernersson Mar 15 '16 at 07:48

He isn't asking for badness, He is asking for drawbacks to eating fruits caused by sugars. I could start with the effects of sugar on teeth. – enap_mwf Mar 16 '16 at 03:09
Is it still not good enough? – Roger C S Wernersson Mar 30 '16 at 13:51
This book http://www.adlibris.com/se/bok/fat-chance-9780007514144 suggests that the sugar in the apple is embedded in dietary fiber which protects me from the drawbacks of the sugar. – Roger C S Wernersson Sep 07 '17 at 06:30
